Dear Justinjustin,

Great project, sounds super cool.

First, get a spell checker to run over your questions before submitting them 🙂

Then, get started using the Revit API. Here is one overview of the ample available material:

This same topic came up just recently here on the Revit API discussion forum, and some additional suggestions were made:

Thanks a lot 🙂
I also want to ask if revit can do wireless simulation?

Dear Justinjustin,

For that question, you should turn to a Revit product related forum, not this API programming forum.

In general, the Revit API supports everything that the user interface and underlying product does, no more, no less.

Best regards,

Jeremy
