    Default Can you modify existing functions in C#.

    I have just begun to program Revit MEP. I wanted to modify a function for the table pointer for information of the panel schedule.
    I have not been able to find the where I can access the function to modify it. Can this be done? Can I copy the function and rename it for modification?

    Any help with this direction would be great.

    Thanks.

    .NET only provides an api, not access to the source code. However, depending on what you want to do, you may be able to use an extension method. Do a search for more info on extension methods.

    Thank you. I have trying to get to the source code, now I know I can't. I am trying to produce an electrical panel schedule in a format other than provided. I would like to omit the part of the body (VA columns) and have a document of a specific size with only the number and descriptions of circuits (NO LOADs).

    I think my best bet would be to make a template and populate the cells in that manner.
    I would like this option to be in the revit ribbon, not exported into excel. This being my 4 th partial day learning the API, I want to thank all again, you have saved me a great amount of time trying to get to the source.

    If you have suggestions on how to accomplish this panel schedule goal I am all eye's.
