Select Node Libraries:
-
- Specify which of the files you added to the package are the node libraries by checking the box in the Node Library column. - Node libraries contain the types and methods that Dynamo will import as nodes. In general, you should mark any assembly as a node library which contains types you wish to import into Dynamo. - ZeroTouch, NodeModel, or NodeViewCustomization assemblies should be marked as a node library. -
-- To load UI NodeViewCustomizations, they should be either defined in the same assembly that contains the corresponding NodeModel definitions OR defined in a separate assembly. - In either case, the assembly must be tagged as a node library. Currently, for assemblies marked as node library that contain NodeModel or NodeCustomization types, all other types will be ignored. For this reason, it is important to separate NodeModel/NodeViewCustomization types from types you wish to import using ZeroTouch import. -
