This repository contains material used for Revit 2015 API Training.

Tip: For easiest set up for the labs exercises, extract to the following folder:

C:\Revit 2015 API Training

Training Labs - a set of hands-on exercises during the class.

Slide deck used for the training.

Sample .RVT Revit models used for labs.

If a Revit Application is built with "Any CPU" build configuration, you will receive a warning similar to the following when and the RevitAPI and RevitAPIUI assemblies are referenced:

There was a mismatch between the processor architecture of the project being built "MSIL" and the processor architecture of the reference "RevitAPI, Version=2015.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, processorArchitecture=x86", "AMD64". This mismatch may cause runtime failures. Please consider changing the targeted processor architecture of your project through the Configuration Manager so as to align the processor architectures between your project and references, or take a dependency on references with a processor architecture that matches the targeted processor architecture of your project.

To overcome the above warning, we modified the Labs .csproj and .vbproj files to add the following lines.

<PropertyGroup>
  <ResolveAssemblyWarnOrErrorOnTargetArchitectureMismatch>
    None
  </ResolveAssemblyWarnOrErrorOnTargetArchitectureMismatch>
</PropertyGroup>

For more information on this, please look at this blog post:

• Materials provided here are from our two day classroom trainings. You can also use this for self-learning.

• This is to introduce you to the fundamentals of Revit API to get you started. (Not meant to provide a complete coverage of Revit API nor .NET Framework.)

• Materials are in C# and VB.NET. Labs exercises are provided in two languages. Powerpoint presentation is mixed.

• Disclaimer: We are aware that materials is not free of errors. We intend to correct them as we encounter. We hope this will be still useful for you to get started with Revit API programming.

Good luck!
