This takes a NavisObject (such as a ‘Node’ in DynaWorks), and lists the Object Names associated with that item.

NavisNodes.GetFilesInProject
This takes a ‘OpenNavisFile’ object, and then lists the files that are Appended to it.
OpenNavisFile.OpenFile
This node opens a file in Navisworks, and can be run from Dynamo in sandbox or standalone mode. The Boolean switch optionally allows Navisworks to run ‘hidden’ or in the background (when set to false). The output is a ‘OpenNavisFile’ object, which is used in other DynaWorks nodes.
List.UniqueItems
This will take an input list, and output only the unique values in that list.
Element.OwnerView
Some Elements in Revit are ‘owned’ by a view, usually including items like Tags or Detail Items. This node lists the Owner View element for each supported element that is sent in the input list.
Str2Pt
This node simply converts a specially formatted String into a geometric Point object. From here, it can be used to create geometry and perform other point-related operations.
Pt2Str
This node simply converts a Point object into a string representation. From here, it could be written to CSV or Excel, or sent to the Clipboard as shown below.
Write Excel
This is an alternate way to write to Excel (instead of using the built in Excel.WriteToFile), found in the Bumblebee package created by Konrad Sobon. It requires the user to set up a ‘BB Data’ node, which is one of the inputs. The full list of inputs is:
FilePath
RunIt – a true / false switch, where true means ‘do it’
ByColumn – a true / false switch that essentially has the effect of Transposing the data before writing it
BB Data – a node that sets up the information to be written to Excel, and it comprehends the ‘Excel way’ of writing cell references, ie. A1, A2 etc.

Excel.WriteToFile
This is a Standard Node that allows Dynamo to write list data directly to an Excel file. While running, Excel will open and the data will populate.
Inputs:
filePath – path to the desired target Excel file
sheetName – write the data into this Excel sheet
startRow and startCol – 0 based index for the start of the Excel write operation. 0,0 as shown below is equivalent to A1.
data – a list or list of lists. To alter whether data is written by Rows or Columns, a List.Tranpose node can be included immediately before the data input.
overWrite – allows control over whether Excel will overwrite existing information (true), or retain it (false).
Write to Excel using only Data and File Path Inputs
This is a simple wrapper for the Excel.WriteToFile standard node, that defines some default values and makes it quicker and cleaner to use.
The actual definition simply gives some default values to the OOTB Office node, as shown:
