# Node Packages ## Do we need additional packages? Dynamo gives us an opportunity to create and publish our own node packages. You can search and download various node packages through the Package Manager and extend Dynamo base functionality. ![](https://3824526715-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LurrPeyGQkF6ssrXKfP%2F-M52omiTAx4Ma6s6h9ar%2F-M52rFC_KJwpG7dTossB%2F200416_1939_001.jpg?alt=media\&token=c43c1ecf-a058-4966-b575-53a612f5e2e7) There are different opinions on whether to use or not additional packages. On the one hand, they provide more functionality. On the other hand, they oblige all users of the script to have this preinstalled package of nodes of the correct version, imposing additional restrictions on how the created script will be used by other people. ‌ We will not express our own position on this issue. You have to make a decision yourself! Nevertheless those nodes and packages we will find the most interesting will appear in this section ![2020 © BIM Planet](https://3824526715-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LurrPeyGQkF6ssrXKfP%2F-Lwx5hK4AW5gziaI8JGs%2F-Lwx4ydnXUIV_zCcwIR-%2FDynamoBIMPlanet_Header'''_small.png?alt=media\&token=abae079b-85a9-4478-bd48-7e93d6ece5ca) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
