speckleworks / specklerevit Goto Github PK

First draft is just a floating form. I've not even handled the logic for it to stay on top of Revit.

Please advise on the proper way to set up a Revit Addin.
For example:

• How to best integrate into the Add-In Ribbon?
• How to distribute the addin? Is there such as a thing as an addin installer, or do we have to make one?
  ...

Set up the Revit plugin so it creates its own Speckle ribbon tab and any required panels inside it.

Is there such a thing as user data for a rvt file? How to save client senders and receivers in a revit file like we do in SpeckleRhino?

This projects needs some love.

Step 0:

• I've read the contribution guidelines!

Important questions raised on the speckle slack by @ksobon & @fraguada on how to deal with incoming stream data in revit.

Summarizing the thread:

• Important point that we all should never ever forget: @ksobon: [11 hours ago] i see speckle as a conduit for getting data that will drive revit elements 👍
• auto updating is never gonna cut it (fair enough)
• potential hack for previewing simple geometry in revit via the analysis display framework or DirectShape (maybe this though can auto update if enabled?)
• a series of speckle tools that help you map data from a stream into revit elements, eg. line + params => wall, brep + params => chair . question here: wpf or more vue/cefsharp uis? Most probably wpf, as revit for mac ain't gonna happen, so if we don't have a cross platform dev imperative, why bother?

Add this to appveyor.

• Deal with Revit dlls in some manner. Are they on NuGet? Yes.
• Add to appveyor.
