This month's meeting is brought to you by the node "Math.RemapRange". Be sure to bring your laptops to learn more after the presentation.
Feature Presentation: Flux - Supercharge your Dynamo Script.
Speaker: Anthony Buckley-Thorp, Flux @AntBuckleyThorp and @flux_io
Dynamo is all about manipulating data: numbers, text, geometry...but what do you do when this data lives in multiple spreadsheets, Rhino or SketchUP files across different people and firms? What happens if that data is still evolving and being updated over time? What if your Dynamo script depends on data generated in another Dynamo script?
With Flux, data exchange is no longer a barrier. Live links between remote software on different computers allow your Dynamo script to feed on multiple data sources. You can even exchange information between multiple Dynamo users in real time! In this introductory session, we will look at the basics of how Flux transmits data between your data silos and walk through some practical example workflows. We will also look at the Flux online data preview and collaboration features. By the end of the session, you will be able to liberate your data and supercharge your Dynamo script!
