note: the plugin from that very script won't work straight away as it does from the Interactive Python Shell. To make it work add this to the top of the script. doc = __revit__.ActiveUIDocument.Document
It's not included with the public installer. You can clone the pyRevit repo to get it. It's mostly for developers that are working on the pyRevit itself
@@pyRevit I actually found out I don't need it, as I needed it for running Dynamo scripts through an added button. I saw that it works when Dynamo script files are placed in the .pushbutton folder. Great work!
Thank you so much! I programmed my own tools where i declared some values like K=6, B=6.9 in the end i have a ERROR message Non ASCII caracter, no encoding declared
To others running into the same issue, make sure that you are not using a non-ASCII character, for example typing m³ for cubic meter. VS Code and other IDEs will warn you.
Hello Ehsan, It noticed that when im going to your Pyrevit blog the section Anatomy of a pyRevit script isnt there anymore. did you delete it or can i find it somewhere else? Your videos are really helping understanding the revit API and how to make tools, so thanks for that and hopefully the information of that page is still somewhere.
Remove both of them and install fresh :D Run a `pyrevit env` on command line and share the results in the github issue tracker if you still see problems with installer
Thank you, Ehsan :) I found just the pyrevit-Master(not pyrevit) file and placed the folders exactly as you explained. However, when I try to reload it, I encounter an error indicating that my files cannot be found. Additionally, it only displays the extension name, and I am unable to see any files. Do you have any insights into what might be causing this issue?
not sure if anyone can help -- trying this now in Revit 2022. Button doesn't show when I refresh pyRevit to update the extentions. The link in this comment section is broken. anyone know where I can go to fix this? Thanks!
Hello Ehsan, Great work thank you. can you please specify where exactly we should put our python script because it I not appearing in the Revit toolbar
How did you learn programming? school, self thought? and how long have you done it? Im an Electrical Engineer using revit and i find programming and dynamo intresting, the problem is that i know nothing of this. Im starting and trying too learn. Do you have any recomendations on how to go forward too learn and use this in Revit? do i need years of experice too do things or? Btw Love your Videos keep it up! Proly not the last time you will hear from me :P
Hey sorry for the late reply. Yeah I've always loved machines and started learning programming when I was very young. But my exposure to Revit programming is only about 4 years. It's definitely something you can slowly dive into and learn. Dynamo is great for visual programming and python more for prototyping your tools ideas and test them out easily in production environment. I'd suggest learning python very well and then slowing dive into Revit API (C#, IronPython) and learn by creating simple tools. Good luck.
It's in Cubic Feet. You can use google to convert and find the conversion multiplier. www.google.com/search?q=cubic+feet+to+liters&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-1-ab
Mr. Irannejad, the content of this video helped me a lot. 👍
Thank you so much! you really made a difference for me in large scale project handling in Revit.

I cannot find the pyRevitDevTools in my extensions. Were they taken out for the newer version? Or do I need to do something special?

I can't tell what is wrong without seeing the script
Problem solved, thanks a lot!!!

I’ve moved all documentation to the pyRevit docs pages. The link is on the side bar on the blog.
Hi there! I have two folders on my PC \pyRevit and \pyRevit-Master. I tried to put the folder in both but it doesn't work. where could the problem be.
Remove both of them and install fresh :D Run a `pyrevit env` on command line and share the results in the github issue tracker if you still see problems with installer

Add _script at the end of the python file.

it is telling me , python script is not found, does have to do with which python version ? i downloaded python 3.9
Hello Ehsan,
Great work thank you.
can you please specify where exactly we should put our python script because it I not appearing in the Revit toolbar
Take a look at the docs: pyrevit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/articles/creatingexts.html
I am getting an error "Does not have a script file", even though it has the script file in the folder. What could be the issue?
Add _script at the end of the python file.

Hey Henrik, If you give 2 hours a day you cna learn python in 1-3 months even if you are self-thought. Try sololearn.com
Then try examples.
how to adding python in revit 2019 of pyrevit version 4.7.6
You can go to pyRevit settings and activate Revit 2019 under "Supported Revit Versions" section
@@pyRevit thank you!
Hello Ehsan,
What is the unit of volume value? If it is not Metric, please let me know how I can convert it to metric.

Hello! Revit does not show the final window If I write instead of "Volume" "Объем" . How to fix it?
You need to add '# coding=utf-8' in your code.
