This repo hosts the sample code written for the BiLT EUR 2018 Cross-platform development : from Revit/Dynamo to Rhino/Grasshopper and the web hands-on labs.
The lab was accompanied by a lenghty handout that is available on the BiLT website for registered people.
Be a reference, source of inspiration & education for others.
It's a sample of how to build cross-product libraries for AEC apps, with a focus on
- re-using as much code as possible
- demonstrating some SOLID principles in action
- supporting as many apps as possible
The solutions is made of up of 2 things : a common library and specific application implementations.
This is the shared functionality that is product-agnostic & re-usable.
It holds the
- geometry & BIM element definitions
- interoperability/conversion routines
Distinct applications that bring the Crossplatform.Libraryto each platform :
- Revit app
- Dynamo app
- Rhino app
- Grasshopper app
It's a bare-bones geometry-sharing library, with definitions for
- Point
- Line
- Wall
You can converto To & From the Crossplatform.Geometry objects in Revit, Dynamo, Rhino & Grasshopper.
You'll also note that not all conversions are straight-forward : there's no Wall in Rhino, so that conversion shows how to think about translating non-compatible objects.
All has a simple WhoAmI command that has a single implementation for all products, but still manages to be a bit product-specific.
- developed over 2 days before BiLT, so don't expect crazy-good code, I'm aiming for decent here
- this is not in active development, but modifications (pull requests, PRs) are welcomed if they add to the educational value of the repo
