@alfarok nice job with the node and the new example! Congratulations. I have one minor comment about the download file. Can you zip the file? It will be both consistent with Grasshopper component and at some point users can also share REVIT files associated with the .dyn file. Now if the user clicks on the link it will open up the xml file in the browser instead of downloading it. It can be confusing for novice users.

@alfarok look at System.IO.Compression.Filesystem.ZipFile

@mostaphaRoudsari @mjkkirschner Thank you Mike! I was having trouble figuring out how to zip the files without using a 3rd party reference in .NET 4.0 which is why it was just generating a .dyn file. There is still a lot of cleanup to make the Dynamo node as organized and logical as the Grasshopper version but I wanted to get a basic working prototype up that we could build off of. I am looking at different screen capture options now to capture the model as well.

@mjkkirschner I actually just realized is Dynamo 0.9 using .NET 4.5? I couldn't use ZipFile.CreateFromDirectory because it didn't exist in .NET 4.0 I don't think.

yes, you need to add a reference to System.IO.Compression and System.IO.Compression.FileSystem, and we have moved to .net 4.5 some time ago. (.9 timeframe)

Updated the example with the zipped file. I think I am going to close this thread now and open individual threads for the things that need to be added/fixed.

@alfarok Congrats. Sounds great! Please do.
