Revit 2024

You're welcome!

I will record a few more lessons in the future about WPF for TH-cam. It's on pause until I clear my schedule a bit for that. P.S. You can access way more lessons in full WPF Course if you want it right away. There are 5 modules of lessons where I go deep into WPF for pyRevit.

What's the end result you want to get from the modeless form? Can you describe the workflow or the form functionality.

@@ErikFrits Thanks, I found myself a few times wanting to interact outside of the form for modifying the selection, and more recently, though not related, wishing it had a "dark mode"

Just while I'm at it, it would also be super helpful if you do a tutorial on those notoriously difficult zero tough node for dynamo

That's a good suggestion. I will be updating this UI in the future, I will drop it in as well. Thanks for suggestion.

Oh multi-line editing in pyCharm can be achieved different ways. In this specific example I used ALT + J shortcut to select the next selection match (=) and once I selected all of them I could use [Arrow Keys] + [CTRL] for quick navigation and [Arrow Keys] + [CTRL] + [SHIFT] for full word selection. once you copy multi line you can also paste it as multi-line. You can also use the middle Scroll Button to select multiple places you want to multi-edit. I've learnt it by accident so I hope that my explanation makes sense. Start with [ALT+J] shortcut and over time you will do far more than what I did. Happy Coding!

Should be possible. What Revit Version did you use? I might need to check it.

Noted! Might make videos on Excel with Revit APi in 2025.

Thanks Claus, happy to help! Have any suggestions for next videos?

Yes you can use EF-Tools in all Revit versions, however you would need pyRevit WIP version to use it in 2025. Check my pyRevit 2025 installation video.

Hi, I don't speak Spanish. There are some AI tools that might allow me to translate it in the future, but not any time soon.

@@ErikFrits I will be on the lookout for any news in the translation

😂

No. Install on top of it and everything will be fine and you will also keep all your additionally installed extensions like EF-Tools and so on...

Happy to help

Happy Coding on this path! Journey of thosand miles begins with a single step 💪

Happy to help! You are welcome to join my community on LearnRevitAPI website. You will also find a contant form on the landing page on the bottom right corner.

Yes, that's right. I've recently made a video on that too

It's EpicPen. That's the best one I found for Windows, not so many options out there.

Adopted the dark? I am the night 🦇

Chat GPT is a game changer! So many people create their first tools before they even start learning to code. Amazing time to be alive. Happy Coding!

Happy to help! Hope it saves lots of time for you

Thanks tay. I found it useful for myself to make orange icons, so decided to share with others.

Do you want to put this data in parameters or you mean dimensioning?

Yes, Check the playlist on my channel Or go straight to learnrevitapi.com/free-lessons for better navigation

oh that's a neat little fact ! Thanks for sharing

Do you have any issues with that? I had previous version of pyRevit for Revit 2021-2024 versions and then I installed pyRevit WIP on top like I showed in the video. Now I have pyRevit that works in all Revit versions. I've recently made a tool and tested it in all versions (22,23,24,25)

@@ErikFrits I have been unable to get the WIP to work for all the versions but I'll follow the same steps you did and test. Thus far, WIP breaks in all versions aside from 2025

Exactly! Haven't had any trouble so far

Yes, I will release a tutorial today on pyRevit 2025 because you need a WIP version. Also keep in mind that Revit 2025 has a bug for installing additional extensions. But if you install EF-Tools in any previous Revit versions, it will also show up in Revit 2025.

Thanks, enjoy the tool!

I think it's best to install EF-Tools using previous version of Revit, since pyRevit in Revit 2025 seem to have some issues with the GitHub Installer. You can also install EF-Tools manually. - Go to EF-Tools GitHub - Download the project - Rename root folder to to EF-Tools.extension - Place it in pyRevit extensions - Or place it anywhere but then provide path in pyRevit settings That would be an easy workaround. P.S. I need to update EF-Tools installation guide, it's been a while since it's out

Enjoy EF-Tools!

Do you mean like create a rectangle that would represent the title block and then move views around on it inside the form?

At the moment it only creates sheets if you added views on the 'SheetCard'. How do you want it to work with Excel? Would you want to define all view names in the Excel manually? I feel like it might be tricky, since you would need to be very precise as any typo would result in a wrong view name. I think It's quicker to drag views with my form than write them in Excel. Also keep in mind that in Revit you can have identical view name for different ViewTypes. So you can have: AreaPlan: 'Level_10' FloorPlan: 'Level_10' CeilingPlan: 'Level_10' .... It's rare, but might cause some confusion sometimes.

To be able to add sheets cards from excel schedule with import button. And the names and numbers of the sheets cards to be imported from that excel schedule

Oh no i didnt mean of adding the views by excel sheet I only meant about an excel sheet for the sheet names and numbers since all projects already have it And to use it for creating the sheet cards I still will add the views to the created sheets cards manually So its not fully automated but a small nice update since adding views in the excel would be a pain to make it work I tried to create a similar example of this script in dynamo but its goal not to add already made views to sheets Its actually will create the sheets and their views

aah got it now. I thought you wanted to add SheetNumber, SheetName, and then all view names that goes on them inside the Excel. It sounded like a lot of pain to me as well. Now it actually makes a lot of sense how you want to create a lot of SheetCards with the Excel. Right now filling all SheetNames and Numbers does fill a bit boring. That might solve the issue. I will make a note of this for future update of the tool. Looking forward to more feedback about this tool.

Is there a way to fetch paths for External resources (CAD + Keynotes) placed on ACC ? I tried EF's DWG:OpenReload and it fails as it is likely requiring a dive into Autodesk's Forge API, this issue is on my radar and I am planning to dive into it sometime in the holidays as this seems to be a limitation for my current workflow.

nice video btw

Further research - I do not have a ...\AppData\Roaming\pyRevit\pyRevit.ini file. That may be my problem, and I don't know how I would create the missing file.

This is something new. Never heard of that issue. Can you share more details. As I understood: - You Open Settings - Add Path to Custom Directiories - You can see it in the box. - Then you Reload pyRevit - Nothing Happens - Open Settings again - Custom Directories are empty? Is that what's going on? Can you also share Revit Year and pyRevit version you use? That might help me brainstorm.

@@ErikFrits That's exactly what's happening. Revit 2023, pyRevit v4.8.16

Solved! Uninstall. Go to %appadata% & delete any folder that starts with "pyRevit". Reinstall. It works!

Visual Studio doesn't support IronPython anymore. I code with pyCharm and debug live in Revit by running my tools and seeing error messages. It's quick and easy
