Title: Diary of a Wimpy BIM Manager: Tales of In-House Revit® API Development for Architects

Instructor: Iffat Mai

Course Description: To meet the demands of her custom tool-thirsty, boundary-pushing Revit users, a wimpy (ex-CAD) BIM manager dives into the cryptic scrolls of the Revit API Bible, and emerges gloriously with a set of tools that are handy for her most demanding Revit users. She will share her story of relearning a new "foreign" language, VB.NET and C#, discovering the unfortunate limitations of the Revit API, cartooning her solution logic, and translating English into the secret language of Revit API. Learn how you can take advantage of the sample programs that came with the SDK kit, and develop your own tools to meet your firm's BIM project needs. If a wimpy BIM manager can do it, you can do it too!
