Structural Connections API

[Anonymous]

The about page for structural connections mentions new connections can be created and loaded with the API. Can anyone help me find some resources on modifying the existing connections and creating new ones?

There is a new example in the Revit 2017 SDK: GenericStructuralConnection.

It looks pretty comprehensive.

Example is very basic.

How about info o work with xml scheme of build-in steel connections?

And is there way to make you own of connection's behavior?

It has a basic interface, but it's not basic.

Once you have connections in your Revit 2017 model, you should be able to do a lot.

I would suggest writing some code and asking a more specific question.

(As I've been told:) The way the API is written these days, is if a new feature is added to Revit, the API is automatically created.

So if you can create the structural connections you want using the standard Revit interface, I'd be very surprised if you can't create them using the API.
