I already described how I installed Revit 2019, compiled the Revit 2019 SDK samples and migrated RevitLookup to the new version.
I now migrated some of the other basic samples and utilities and have some Forge news to share:
AdnRme MEP HVAC and electrical samples for Revit 2019 The migration of The Building Coder samples to Revit 2019 was just as trivial as RevitLookup.
No code changes were needed.
That does generate six warning messages about deprecated Revit API usage.
They all occur in the module CmdGetMaterials.cs and concern the use of the AssetProperties [] operator taking integer and string arguments, e.g.:
I will ignore them for the time being.
The flat migrated version is release 2019.0.138.0.
The diff between the last 2018 version, 2018.0.138.4, and 2019.0.138.0, shows the minimal changes I made.
To add the final finishing touch, I also updated the readme file with new Revit and .NET framework version badges.
The current version is 2019.0.138.1.
Similarly, I updated the AdnRme MEP HVAC and electrical samples for Revit 2019.
The flat migration is captured in release 2019.0.0.0, and I added badges here as well in release 2019.0.0.1.
Next, I migrated the AdnRevitApiLabsXtra with similar ease.
No code changes required – again, just updated the .NET framework version and the Revit API assembly DLL references.
The current version is 2019.0.0.1.
Looking toward the future making use of web-based component technology, Simon Moreau of Bouygues Immobilier, author of the BIM42 blog, shared his nice new RevitToIFC web app.
Revit To IFC is a web application using the Autodesk Forge web services to convert Revit file to the IFC format. You can use it to upload a Revit file to Forge and download back the resulting converted file.
Does this inspire you to want to get started with Forge yourself?
An easy way to do so is to attend a Forge accelerator.
The upcoming ones are here:
Two upcoming Forge webinars are dedicated to more bleeding edge technology, HFDM – High Frequency Data Management – and the new app framework:
