Does Revit2015 Platform API Developers Guidelines exists?

OR_AND_NO — Thu, 27 Aug 2015 08:52:38 GMT

To coding for revit2014 i used Revit2014 Platform API Developers Guidelines.

A few weeks ago I upgrade to revit2015 and discover that some examples from pointed above guidelines don’t work and parameters of some methods were changed.

For example (Code Region 29-14: Adjusting the analytical model in relation to another element) don't work in revit2015 exeption - “An internal error has occurred.”

public Result Execute(Autodesk.Revit.UI.ExternalCommandData commandData,ref string message,ElementSet elements)

{

m_application = commandData.Application;

m_document = m_application.ActiveUIDocument;

try

{

Selection sel = m_document.Selection;

Reference refAnalytical = sel.PickObject(ObjectType.Element,"Please Pick the source analytical line to adjust to");

Element el = m_document.Document.GetElement(refAnalytical);

AnalyticalModel aModel = el.GetAnalyticalModel ();

// in original example wasAnalyticalModel aModel = doc.GetElement(refAnalytical) as AnalyticalModel;

Curve aCurve = aModel.GetCurve();

// Get the reference of the start point

AnalyticalModelSelector aSelector =new AnalyticalModelSelector(aCurve);

aSelector.CurveSelector =AnalyticalCurveSelector.StartPoint;

Reference refSource = aModel.GetReference(aSelector);

// Pick the source analytical line to be adjusted

Reference refAnalytical2 = sel.PickObject(ObjectType.Element,"Please pick the source analytical line to be adjusted");

el = m_document.Document.GetElement(refAnalytical2);

AnalyticalModel aModel2 = el.GetAnalyticalModel();

// in original example wasAnalyticalModel aModel2 = doc.GetElement(refAnalytical2) as AnalyticalModel;

// Get the reference of the start point

Curve aCurve2 = aModel2.GetCurve();

AnalyticalModelSelector aSelector2 =new AnalyticalModelSelector(aCurve2);

// aSelector2.CurveSelector = AnalyticalCurveSelector.StartPoint;

// Can be adjusted to the middle of the line if WholeCurve is used

aSelector2.CurveSelector =AnalyticalCurveSelector.WholeCurve;

Reference refTarget = aModel2.GetReference(aSelector2);

// Adjust the analytical line

bool res=aModel.ManuallyAdjust(refSource, refTarget);

//in original example aModel.ManuallyAdjust(refSource, refTarget, true);

return Result.Succeeded;

}

catch (Exceptions.OperationCanceledException)

{

// Selection Cancelled.

return Result.Cancelled;

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

// If any error, give error information and return failed

message = ex.Message;

return Result.Failed;

}

I try to find Revit2015 Platform API Developers Guidelines without success, Does it exist anywhere?

Hi,

Are you looking for this documentation?

http://www.autodesk.com/revitapi-help

If so, could you try visit the latest version, following the above link, then try replacing version number in the url. e.g.,

http://help.autodesk.com/view/RVT/2015/ENU/?guid=GUID-F0A122E0-E556-4D0D-9D0F-7E72A9315A42

It should bring to the older version most of the time (There is a slight chance that if the page is newly added, it may not hit older one. Should work from the top basic pages.)

Thank You very mach for soon answer.

In Your reference the example (Code Region 29-14: Adjusting the analytical model in relation to another element http://help.autodesk.com/view/RVT/2016/ENU/?guid=GUID-92AF0D57-2E97-4F42-8DE0-F308F89900C4) do not work in revit 2015 and 2016 without recoding so several examples from old version (2014) are not correct and i am looking for correct examples beacouse it's very dificult to understand api using uncorrect examples.

Have you downlaoded the SDK package for Revit 2015 and 2016?
