Create Family runtime

[devX6MRR]

Hi to everyone,

it's quite difficult to explain what is my aim, but i'll try:

i have to create by code a generic family (it could be a cube or similar) with specific dimension (L, H, D) that will be inserted in my revit project.

I tried to refer to this article by @jeremytammik http://thebuildingcoder.typepad.com/blog/2009/08/the-revit-family-api.html#2

, but it seems it uses old Revit API and it start becoming quite hard to complete my aim.

At the moment i use 2017 API version.

Thanks

Hi.

For a generic family, look at:

In general, for all discussions of this topic, read this:

If you do not really need a family, just a shape in the project, using a direct shape is easier and much more efficient:

Thank you @jeremytammik,

at the moment i tried the directshape solution and it fits perfectly my aim.

I don't know if there colud be problems in the future, but i think it will be all ok.

Thank you again
