Top 25 Dynamo Nodes

Learning Dynamo can seem overwhelming. As hard as it may be, there is comfort in knowing that there is a limit to what you need to learn. To that end, here is a list of the top 25 Dynamo Nodes you need to get started with Dynamo (in my opinion). Since the beginning the Dynamo team at Autodesk has been collecting data on how we use Dynamo Nodes. I wonder how this (slightly unscientific) list compares to their data? 

0. Select Model Element

1. Element.Parameters

2. Watch

3. All Elements of Category

4. Categories (always used with the previous)

5. Code Block (This one is a multitasker, you can use it for strings, numbers, math, passing through information)

6. == (and most of the other Math Nodes)

7. String.Contains

8. String.Replace

9. String from Object

10. Element.ElementType

11. FilterbyBoolMask

12. List.SortbyKey

13. List.GroupbyKey

14. Element.GetParameterValueByName

15. Element.SetParameterByName

16. List.Flatten

17. List.Transpose

18. Data.ExportExcel

19. Data.ImportExcel

20. List.Count

21. Sequence

22. Point.ByCoordinates

23. List.GetItemAtIndex

24. Element.Name
