Course content

4 sections • 16 lectures • 2h 1m total length

Introduction1:15
Explore how to build Revit API plugins with user interfaces, establish foundations to interact with users, review object visibility, and introduce basic functionality for form creation and windows.
Check of all necesary requirements2:26
Verify required tools and version compatibility for the C# Revit API plugin. Include Revit lookup, add-in manager, and forms and visualizations across 2019–2023; review references and debugging geometry.
Breifly Summarize of Revit Add In components and Structure5:49
Review the project settings and rename the Revit API forms plugin, align references, assembly name, and namespace, and outline the main structure for extraction, analysis, and creation.

Extracting Data of Elements in the Model5:49
Save the file to establish a start state, then retrieve generic model family symbols and family instances by category to analyze element visibility and placement with a selector and transaction.
Retrieving to Class For Analysis9:39
Learn to extract and analyze Revit elements with a C# API plugin, target generic models, compute heights from B point Z values, deduplicate results, and visualize visibility by location.
Create Colors From a Number of Elements11:23
Develop a Revit API plugin that builds a color list from a given element count using a graphical functions class, creating RGB colors and supporting Dynamo-style color ranges for visualization.
Creating OverrideGraphic Settings10:45
Create and apply override graphic settings in a C# Revit API plugin by building a dictionary of pattern-based overrides and configuring color and pattern properties via a static method.
Applying Colors to Objects9:40
Apply colors to Revit objects by iterating elements, retrieving ids, and applying element overwrites in the active view to visualize color variations across structural and family elements.
Reset of Overrides4:03
Reset overrides by clearing override graphics and reloading to restore colors in the Revit API plugin. Reuse structure to target elements and apply visibility and color changes across generic models.

Creating a Basic Form From Code10:58
Create a basic Windows Forms interface in a C# Revit API plugin to enable user interaction while a script runs, building a form class with controls and event handling.
ComboBoxes6:05
Create a revit api plugin form with combo boxes to select categories, populate items from a dictionary, and apply colors to selected elements, including layout, controls, and reset behavior.
Creating Basic Form From UI9:03
Create a Windows form UI for a Revit plugin by adding controls (combo box, checkbox, text box, picture box), naming them clearly, and wiring layout in code.
Running Application of Form5:53
Learn to run a form in a C# Revit API plugin, connecting a command to a document and saving configurations as json or csv for server export.

Setting the User Interphase11:09
Design and implement an element creation form for a revit api plugin, enabling users to select a family, enter x y z coordinates, and create objects with a simple interface.
Creating the Class Values to be Created10:13
Creates the element data object from form inputs, obtains all family types by category, and builds a unique string list of type names for creation.
Do the Transaction of Creation6:53
Learn to perform the creation transaction in a Revit API plugin by selecting and activating a family symbol, matching element types, and instantiating family instances at points.

Requirements

Basic Knowledge of Revit any Version
Had taken the course Step by Step C# for Revit API for Plugin Creation
A computer with Revit, Visual Studio, Revit Lookup and AddIn Manager installed

Description

This course is an amazing opportunity to excel your Revit API plugins creation with user interphases.

We will build technical foundations to interact with users while running the addin.

We will pick where we left on the previous course From Zero Step by Step C# for Revit API for PlugIn Creation and start by reviewing object visibility furthermore introduce some basic functionality for form creation to set some emerging windows.

All of this content has been curated to be easily understood and implemented to your project requirements.

This course is fully oriented towards architects, engineers, and constructors who have seen that automation and programming not out of their scope if they plan to succeed and increase their full potential in areas that always require their attention.

Help subsequent training agendas to be released as soon as possible by recommending, reviewing, and buying this type of content. Join me in bringing all of these capabilities to reality and transforming your BIM skills, and enjoy the freedom of possibilities to make technology work the way you need it to.

And with all my hopes, I will do my best to ensure that this content will change your way of working for the better moving forward.

Who this course is for:

BIM Modelers who want to spice the game by automating their workflows and create addins
Dynamo Enthusiasts that want to go deeper into automation and the creation of hard coded solutions.
BIM Managers and Coordinators that need to have that extra set of skills to improve their work aproaches.
Enginners that want to fasten modeling by automation and programing
