Revit API Docs - Code Samples

Code Sample Repository for RevitAPIdocs.com/code

This repository allows the Revit API Community to contribute to the Code Samples section of Revit API Docs.

How does it work?

The Code Samples page uses the Github API to read this repository and inject the files into the browser. [Note: for performance reasons, the code is Cached and will only be refreshed every 6 hours]

Contriutions

Who can contribute?

Anyone who writes Revit API code and would like to share them with the community.

What languages are accepted?

Python, CSharp

One off contributions

1. Fork this repository

2. Add / Modify the scripts on your fork

3. Create a Pull Request

   (More info on how to Create a Pull Request from your fork here)

Regular contributions

Once you have made a few contributions, feel free to request to be added as a Repository Contributor:

1. Create an Issue Requesting to be added as a Contributor in the Issues Page
2. Once you have been added as a contributor, you will be able to Push directly to the repository.

Notes:

1. Scripts should be placed in the appropriate folder, and have the expected extension for that language.
2. The filename should be {Category}_{Name}.{ext}, for example: Snippets_CreateDraftingView.py
3. The categories are only loosely defined, and can be revised as the code base grows.
4. Scripts must include the license and information described below.

Open New Folder For Dynamo

Dear Gtalarico,
Can we open a folder for the dynamo python scripts?

CS Samples Contribution

Would you be open to hosting .csx files? I have a project that reads .csx (CSharp script) files and executes them inside Revit similar to how revit python shell works. See here https://github.com/sridharbaldava/Revit.ScriptCS/tree/master/samples
