How I Used AI To Recreate The Iconic Structure in King’s Cross Station With A Revit Macro
Here’s what happened when I challenged an AI to model the complex structure of King’s Cross Station in Revit. No Dynamo, just raw C# as a Revit macro.

How I Used AI to Downgrade a Revit Family From 2024 to 2022
What if Revit families were backwards compatible? Could we use AI and a little C# coding to force Revit 2024 to talk to Revit 2022?

Is Dynamo Dead? Here’s How AI is Bringing Revit Macros (C#) Back To The Forefront.
With the emergence of AI as a coding partner, I’ve found myself leaning back into the Revit Macro Manager. The barrier to entry for text-based coding has nearly vanished, and the results are cleaner, faster, and more robust than anything I could “wire up” in Dynamo.

Revit BuiltInCategory Enumeration (2018.3)
I searched and searched for hours and still have not found a list of all members of the BuiltInCategory enum along with their hashcodes.

Check it out on GitHub: https://github.com/eirannejad/pyRevit There is plenty of example code written in Python that you can refer to when learning to create…

Copy a Legend to Multiple Sheets in Revit
The good folks over at Boost Your BIM have posted a macro for copying a legend to multiple sheets. It works really well, but I wonder if anyone would like to take on the challenge of doing something similar in Dynamo. public void legendOnSheets() { Document doc = this.ActiveUIDocument.Document; // create list of element ids for…

Revit Macro – List electrical panel schedules and the sheets that they are placed on
We found a quick-and-dirty way to show what sheets your electrical panel schedules are on. Essentially, it is a schedule of schedules. We haven’t found any other way to accomplish this as of yet and we welcome any improvements to this code. What this does is simply create a dialog box with all of your…
