# Dynamo®

Read .beam files in Dynamo®

BEAM adds nodes to Dynamo that read *.beam* files. Use them to build your own Revit workflows with the geometry and data exported from Rhino.

You find the nodes in the Dynamo library under **MKS** > **BEAM**. They work in Dynamo 2, 3 and 4. The installer registers the package for you.

## BEAM.History

Lists the *.beam* files in the [.beam directory](/beam/beam-for-rhinoceros/beam-directory.md), newest first.

| Output | Content                         |
| ------ | ------------------------------- |
| list   | Full paths of the *.beam* files |

Connect it to a **List.GetItemAtIndex** node to pick one file. Index `0` is the latest export.

## BEAM.Import

Reads the geometry and data of a *.beam* file.

| Input  | Content                                                            |
| ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `beam` | The name of the *.beam* file, or a full path from **BEAM.History** |

All outputs are lists in the same order, so item *n* of each output belongs to the same Rhino object.

Supported geometry: solids, points, lines, arcs, circles, ellipses, polylines, NURBS curves and polycurves. Meshes are skipped.
