Revit API Integration

• Key API Components: JoinGeometryUtils.JoinGeometry priority checks, elements splitting via curve division, and wall base profile modifications.
• Transaction Handling: All modifications are packaged into a single Revit API transaction. If any error occurs, the changes are rolled back automatically to preserve model integrity.

[!TIP] Best Practice Tip: Run Auto Join rules to automatically clean up structural concrete columns intersecting with drywalls, keeping materials schedules accurate.
