Initialization

Custom Revit Ribbon Tab

  • Objective: Create a new tab named "AdibZailan-DEV" in the Revit UI.
  • Components:
    • Ribbon panel for File Synchronization
    • Push buttons for Sync Details and Sync Notifier

Sync Details Functionality

User Input Collection

  • Inputs:
    • Symbol
    • File name
    • User
  • Process:
    • Open a Windows Forms-based input dialog
    • Capture and validate user input
    • Store input in ConfigurationStore
    • Update button tooltips with new information

Sync Notifier Functionality

Synchronization Process

  • Steps:
    • Retrieve sync details from ConfigurationStore
    • Send initial webhook notification
    • Subscribe to Revit synchronization events
    • Monitor synchronization process
    • Send post-sync webhook notification
    • Display completion notification

Resource Management

Handling Resources

  • Images: Load and manage images for buttons using ResourceLoader
  • Configuration Data: Use a JSON configuration file (RibbonConfig.json ) for UI setup

Error Handling and Logging

Conclusion

This add-in showcases how we can leverage the Revit API, handle events, and implement asynchronous programming while integrating with external services via webhooks. It's a great example of how we can apply best practices in modular design, configuration management, and user interface development within the Revit ecosystem. I'm particularly excited about how this streamlines our workflow and enhances our team's productivity in the Revit environment.
