Dear Amith

I see a couple of things in your picture that might be the reason for the cause of the error.

First the DLL's that need to be referenced for the use of the RevitAPI are RevitAPI.dll and RevitAPIUI.dll and both of them to be set to Copy Local = False.

then when being use in your namespace I see a dot before Autodesk in your Picture.

Try something like using Autodesk.Revit.UI;

See attached picture.

Also another great recommendation that I can give you in order to succed in the start of the use of Revit API development is to go through the MyFirstPlugin tutorial.

They should be updated to the latest version of Revit this week so Stay tuned.

I hope it helps and please let me know how it goes.

Cheers,
