BEAM Dynamo® Nodes

BEAM includes Dynamo nodes that allow you to read information from .beam files directly inside Dynamo.

Use BEAM.Import to access all geometry together with its metadata from a selected .beam. Provide the file name as a string, and the node will return the information as flat lists or a dictionary.

Alternatively, you can use BEAM.History to browse through the history of exports. Combine it with a Get Item at Index node to retrieve the specific .beam you want to work with.
