CAN I CREATE MY OWN OBJECTS WITH CUSTOM PROPERTIES IN REVIT?

[Anonymous]

I wanna write plugin for Revit that can create custom pipes, ducts, cables with some properties different from Revit's own objects. Can I do it with Revit API 2014?

Dear Nursultan,

You can add custom properties to the pre-defined Revit BIM elements, e.g. using shared parameters of extensible storage.
