    About this series

    Extending scripts to generalize for better sharing

    In this book I look at extending the work in book 1 from specific to generalise the scripts so that other users can modify them to suit their needs, thus making the scripts more shareable

    Keyboard Shortcuts like in Revit for your Script Commands

    I introduce how to make Keyboard Shortcuts for triggers similar to Revit Keyboard Shortcuts so that triggering your scripts feels as if they are part of Revit

    GUI's & Bubble Notes

    We look at GUI's and how to build them so that you can make User Inputs easier and effective as well as Bubble Notes with Schedules.

    First Book Specific, this book extends scripts for sharing

    In the first book I try and show how you can create your own scripts to do mundane and common tasks in Revit, speed up your productivity & also be able to accurately measure your increased productivity.


    I hope this is a useful tool in your arsenal of becoming a better designer.

      Making Revit friendly to use is a Challenge  In trying to make Revit more user friendly I have been down the rabbit hole of programming trying to use Dynamo, write Add-ins in C# & VBA, PyRevit and tried to interpret the Revit API documents.   With all of those efforts I found I had to think like a programmer to understand the API make things work. I think like a designer, I want code that works the way I think   I think as a drafter, designer or modeller. I needed a tool that would behave like me.  I turned to using scripts that mimic actions you do in Revit by combining multiple Revit Keyboard Shortcuts into far fewer actions.  I was pleased with the result.  Make your Productivity Measurable  In this book I try and show how you can create your own scripts to do mundane and common tasks in Revit, speed up your productivity & also be able to accurately measure your increased productivity.  Easy Scripts, videos & downloads to get you working and developing quickly  There are script samples in the text, downloadable script files & also short videos demonstrating the scripts working.  There is also a Bonus Setup for all the scripts and more all in a main script file with support files at the end of the book.    I hope this is a useful tool in your arsenal of becoming a better designer.
