Revit kernel - geometric modeling kernel / geometry presentation

[Anonymous]

Dear community,

in my master thesis I am dealing with geometry representation in Revit - CSG, Sweep, B-Rep....
Unfortunately, in my research I could not find any further information on the topics of geometric modeling kernel and geometry representation, except for a post on @jeremytammik 's blog: The Building Coder: Revit Geometry Kernel and Cylinder Faces

What kernel does Revit use? Does Revit use its own kernel? Where can I find more information about it, especially about geometry representation?

I have been using and learning Revit for a few years now, but have never "looked into" it.

I thank you in advance for an answer!
Chris

I have no reliable further information on that.

Here are some bits and pieces from the blog that may or may not shed some light:

• Geometry Library
• Birthdays and Gaps in Shells
• Wishlist, Blogging, Smartgeometry, Dynamo and FormIt
• Revit Geometry Kernel and Cylinder Faces
• AU Keynote and Revit API Panel
• Forge Design Automation and DesignScript

Here is some pure speculation on where things might be heading:

Thank you! It helps to get further into it.
