Generative Design Primer sample file update

This release includes updated sample files for the Office Layout chapter of the Generative Design Primer

Specifically these samples files have been updated for compatibility with Revit 2025 and Dynamo 3.0 and above.

In the case of the Dynamo file, deprecated nodes have been updated and the python engine has been set to CPython vs IronPython. The GD dependency packages have been simplified to only require the most recent version of Refinery Toolkit (3.0.2). The other dependencies are now out of the box nodes in Dynamo.

For convenience, the sample file is numbered per the chapter reference consolidated to a single zip archive including the required sample Revit Files

Refinery Beta Sample Files

A collection of updated Dynamo sample files created by The Proving Ground and the Autodesk Project Refinery Team to demonstrate how optimization works in Project Refinery.
