# Base Nodes ## What are base nodes? Base nodes are universal nodes for all Dynamo modifications (Dynamo for Revit, Civil 3D, etc.). They form the basis of working in Dynamo. The easiest way to see all the basic nodes is to [download](https://dynamobim.org/download/) and open `Dynamo Sandbox` (a version of Dynamo that has all the basic functionality without being tied to any particular product). By default, it will only have base nodes.
