RDBlink

[davidfink6724]

I have seen the RDBlink in the Revit SDK sample files. Unfortunately, I have no programming experience though. Is there a RDBlink plugin that is ready to use or how can I get the sample to function? I am very interested in have bi-directional database functionality. If I need to learn to make my own what is the best place to start?

First you will need Visual Studio to compile the dll... or you can download an equivelant and free program to do so at:

Then you will need to add the information to your Revit.ini (included in the sample)...

The path to the DLL will need to match what you have in yout ini file...
