Hi @kapitalaudio1234 

Welcome to Revit API, Autodesk has provided proper documentation on the Geometry so you can start by referring the below link which is exactly like Dynamo Primer

Help | Geometry | Autodesk

Once you gone through all the concepts, you must practice it and visualize it. To do that you can use the Revit API SDK Samples, Open samplecontent.html doc from the samples.

In-Between practice if you got any queries you can refer to the Jeremy Tammik blog

The Building Coder: Geometry

Hope this will Helps 🙂
