Revit API for
Extending BIM Design
There are various methods that developers can use for interaction with building information models. Integration on API Revit basis provides close linking between program apps.
API is an application programming interface that helps to implement new functionality by creating a certain script or program. The Revit API can be used for direct changing the BIM programming (Building Information Models). Also, it allows performing special operations by getting data access.
Experienced users admit the benefits of Revit Autodesk while creating custom tools of their own. This API allows to streamline of the working process and optimizes the tasks of building modelling.
Reit Platform API can be used for the automatization of repetitive tasks in Building Information Modelling software.
How Does It Work
Despite some existing limits,
Revit API can be useful for solving a wide range of issues. To understand if the tool meets your expectations, it’s required to evaluate its benefits.
