Every BIM model has elements that need names, marks, and numbers — and in most projects, those names are typed one by one, room by room, element by element. Week 8 ends that permanently. This is the week Dynamo builds labels for you. Instead of typing room names, marks, or reference numbers manually, you define the naming pattern once and Dynamo writes it to every element in a single click. Developed by the AI in BIM team in collaboration with GBH Elite, Week 8 introduces two powerful new nodes — String.PadLeft for professional zero-padded numbering and List.SortByKey for controlled numbering order — and applies them in two complete live builds that cover real architectural naming and intentional sort-then-number workflows. By the end of this week, your scripts will not just read and filter your model — they will name it!

✅ WHAT'S INCLUDED:

- 4 Comprehensive Video Lessons

- Week 8 Introduction — What This Week Teaches and Why It Matters

✅ KEY BENEFITS:

- Understand why building labels in Dynamo is more powerful than typing them manually

- Master String.PadLeft — the node that turns 1 into 01 and 5 into 05

- Build professional BIM labels like GF-R-01 automatically using the full naming chain

- Generate 91 room names in one click and update all of them by changing one prefix

- Understand List.SortByKey — controlling the numbering order before it is applied

- Number elements from smallest to largest, largest to smallest, or any sorted order

- Apply label-building skills across Architecture, Structural, Mechanical, and Electrical

- Complete the Week 8 task: Column Mark Generator built independently

🎯 YOUR LEARNING PATH (WEEK 8):

1️⃣ Watch the Week 8 Introduction — what this week teaches and why it matters

2️⃣ Understand String.PadLeft — its three inputs and what it produces

3️⃣ Master the full naming chain — prefix + PadLeft + number = professional label

4️⃣ See the naming chain build GF-R-01 step by step on canvas

5️⃣ Live Build 1 — Room Name Generator: 91 rooms named in one click

6️⃣ Watch all 91 names update instantly by changing one prefix node

7️⃣ Understand List.SortByKey — sorting a list using values from another list

8️⃣ See sort-then-number applied: SP-01 always goes to the smallest room

9️⃣ Add List.Reverse: SP-01 flips to the largest room with one extra node

🔟 Receive the Week 8 Task brief — Column Mark Generator (Structural)

1️⃣1️⃣ Download and study the Week 8 Study Guide PDF

1️⃣2️⃣ Complete Week 8 Knowledge Exam (Google Form)

1️⃣3️⃣ Complete the Column Mark Generator Task with image uploads
