Hi all,
I am working on a plugin which exports and imports Electrical System Data in xml format. Exactly like it is shown in this video. It would be helpful if somebody guide me to learn the basic things which are to be learnt before starting developing plugin.
Thanks & Regards,
Basava
Electrical API is probably the most sparsely documented with lots of quirks. Make sure you read through the Revit API.chm file as you go to familiarize yourself with the classes and available methods and what they return. That is the biggest effort.
Second, you will be dealing mostly with the ElectricalCircuit Class since that is where all the info is stored (don't think about it in terms of wiring/equipment/fixtures).
Third, read through Jeremy Tammik's blog http://thebuildingcoder.typepad.com/ for an excellent source of knowledge about Revit API. I read it every day.
Last, Practice. Practice. Practice. Debug. Debug Debug. Make sure you try and fail and try until you get what you want out of it.
Thanks kmoring for ut reply.
Oops!. Going through complete RevitAPI could take a couple moths to learn. Let me start with "ElectricalCircuit" but I dont find the Class with "ElectricalCircuit" in help file. Could you please point me to online help resource.
Thanks in Advance,
Basava
