Revit API Integration

  • Key API Components: ImportInstance and CADLinkType auditing. Collects external file paths and view specific placement records in the model database.
  • 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: Avoid imported CAD instances. Always link CAD files instead of importing them, as imports bloat the file size and corrupt styling variables.
