DynamoBIM using Python Getting started setting up Visual Studio Code and Revit API IntelliSense.

Setting up Visual Studio Code IntelliSense with Revit API. This is from a conversation on the Dynamo BIM form. I thought I would add it to YouTube. We continue to miss the Dynamo dll, but this is a start.

Here is the discussion on the DynamoBIM form:

Danny-
The VSCode reporting the pre-load modules are deprecated- now there is something called Jedi?

Hello Danny


my probleme is that i can't find the .vscode folder thank you

[maximechenier]

So if we don't use "python.autoComplete.preloadedModules", how can we insert Autodesk.Revit.UI/DB?
I used "python.jediEnabled" to replace it, but when I type Autodesk or Revit, I don't see intellisense working...


Thanks,

[wojtek]

Thanks for the video - it's great! I have one question. I downloaded the same extension as you, but there isn't function: How can I link modules Revit.DB and Revit.UI to vs code?

[olatunjifelix]

please how can i use vs code ide in dynamo (as my python script)

[ErwinMeulman]

Is there a way to run python scripts in VScode with a live connection to de dynamocore.dll API or RevitBatchProcessor or RevitPythonShell?

[ricardozepeda]

Thanks for the video Danny, any reasons why you didn't use the community version?

Just a quick question.
Did they somehow manage to integrate CPython into revit? Cos, you were linking a 3.5 python into the python intellisense?

If so I'd be very happy because IronPython is like.... very very old. Can't even use numpy :/

thanks for this great tutorial, I've done the instructions step by step, but when I create a new python project I CAN NOT IMPORT "CLR",
is there any suggestion?
