Model Review Plugin Help

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone. I have the development guide (all 4 pages) and am struggling snapping a form into the window. I'm reasonably new to C# so I am working through the issues but I can't seem to find how to make my dialog appear. I have checked the SamplePlugin and that doesn't even work!

Code Sample:

        public class WallCheck : IPluginCheck
        {
            public void Configure(System.Windows.Forms.IWin32Window window, ICheckData data)
            {
                frmWallCheck oWallCheckForm = new frmWallCheck();
                oWallCheckForm.ShowDialog(window);
            }

....}

I have a form frmWallCheck that I would like to "snap in" to the interface. Any guidance?

It looks like you're on the right path.

What happens when you try that? Does it not pop-open the window?

The sample plugin does work for me (at least I tested the configuration, and it did pop open the config window).

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the reply. I was under the impression that when I used that portion of the code it would appear as a tab not be a part of the configure button (I'm a noob). I have that working. Now I am investigating passing parameters from the form back to the check. I'm sure I will have more ????'s.

looks like Model Review API was available before? still available now?

It appears to still be there in the latest version (2014).

thanks Mat, i didn't notice that, so where are the related files like guideline, etc., in Revit SDK?

I think if you look in the Autodesk Revit Model Review 2014 installation folder, there's a folder called "Plugin-Source".

In there is a Sample Plugin as well as a document called "Developing_ModelReview_Plugins.pdf".

Of course, you'll also need the Revit SDK (because any interaction you have with Revit will be through that).

Best Regards,

Matt
