Revit API Interface Skill

Purpose

The Revit API Interface Skill provides programmatic access to Revit models for element extraction, creation, schedule generation, and automation of structural workflows.

Capabilities

• Extract element properties
• Create structural elements
• Generate schedules
• Apply structural parameters
• Export to analysis software
• Rebar detailing automation
• Family parameter management
• View and sheet automation
