Create and run CAD/BIM API tests using pytest via RevitDevTool Named Pipe bridge. Use when writing new pytest test files for Revit/AutoCAD/Civil3D API, adding test fixtures for host documents/elements, running tests against a live host instance, setting up conftest.py with PEP 723 dependencies, or asking "how do I test Revit API with pytest". Covers test structure, fixtures, lazy imports, transactions, auto-rollback, dependency injection, and CLI options.
Build and test Revit add-ins with correct configurations for Revit 2022-2027 (NET 4.8, NET 8.0, NET 10.0). Use when building, compiling, testing, packaging Revit projects, or when the user mentions Revit versions, build configurations, testing across multiple Revit versions, or the ModularPipelines build system.
Retrieve and analyze Revit API documentation through the local Revit API Docs MCP server. Use when answering questions about Autodesk Revit API classes, methods, properties, version differences, obsolete or changed APIs, migration between Revit 2020-2027, or when writing/reviewing Revit API code that needs authoritative docs.
Write pyRevit IronPython tools for Revit with correct project structure, coding conventions, and WPF/MVVM patterns. Use when creating or editing pyRevit pushbutton scripts, shared libs, bundle.yaml, XAML views, or ViewModels.
