Revit API - Window Tiling, Sizing, And Coding

Anonymous — Wed, 08 Jul 2015 04:08:30 GMT

Hello All,

I am very fond of the plugin ACADGraph made and would like to incorporate this kind of tile / screen manipulation into my own ribbon. Does anyone have any code or reference I may be able to utilize to re-create such an application? Thank you so much guys!

Sincerely,

Dear Kevin,

for the default Revit Tile/Cascade/Replicate view commands, you can use PostableCommand.TileWindows etc.

For the rest, use windows API.

http://www.pinvoke.net/

By the way, what do you expect when asking "Does anyone have any code or reference I may be able to utilize" ?

You can get some hints here but do not expect other people to provide full copy/paste sample code.

Best regards,

Revitalizer (who made the App you refer to)

Revitalizer,

Thank you so much for your response!

In regards to my "Code asking/script" request, I was expecting to get a link or so to either Boost Your BIM or The Building Coder. I know many of these are to be hints, but frankly what you send me is enough to figure it out and re-build my own version. Thank you again for your help and great job with that App!

Sincerely,

Kevin
