The Revit API Workshop is a hands-on workshop for experienced Revit users with little to no programming experience. During this workshop, you'll learn how to automate Revit by coding your own time-saving macros using the C# programming language. Tedious tasks that once took you hours can now be accomplished in minutes with a little programming know-how and some lines of code.

Over the course of two days, you'll dive deep into the Revit API and the C# programming language. You'll learn the basics of the C# programming language and work through a series of hands-on examples to build programming knowledge and proficiency.

At the end of this workshop, you'll know what kinds of tasks can be best automated in Revit, how to break down a complex workflow into a series of manageable steps, how to confidently navigate the Revit API, and how to write C# code to develop your own time-saving Revit macros.

Here's the agenda for the workshop:

• Introduction to C# and the Revit API
• Using the Revit macro editor
• Variables, loops, and arrays
• Connecting to Excel using C#
• Creating Revit geometry
• Working with Revit families
• Building a user interface
• Creating add-ins using Visual Studio
