Tutorial: Create Revit elements with Python. Access the Revit API to make a wall with Dynamo.

A very basic tutorial on creating a wall with the Revit API via python. This is useful for creating any Revit element if the existing ways don't exist or don't work the way you would like.

Structured Parametrics provides practical, accurate and time saving services to building design professionals specialising in structural engineering.

We help engineers:
- Translate between structural models formats online without the need for software.
Convert ETABS, Revit, Spacegass, SAP2000, Rhino, Grasshopper, AutoCAD, Sketchup and others.
- Navigate structural BIM and analysis models in a quick and easy way with a detailed block explorer.
- Use Architectural information (Revit or Rhino) to directly create analysis models, structural BIM or visualisations.
- Convert reinforcement from analysis files or spreadsheets to 3D models
- Create 3D animated or static presentation material from analysis models, sketches or BIM.
- Learn more about parametric tools with video tutorials and/or download the free scripts.

Thanks for explaining each line of code in an easy, simplified way.

Thanks for the video. Indeed you can't do more than one output directly on dynamo but that's easily fixed: in the Python node you can write "OUT = output1, output2" and then have a code block to unpack the list

Any pointers to where I could learn.. Textbooks, Videos courses or seminars. Thanks

interesting your work!!

May i ask you if you can create a window or door with the Revit API via Python and Dynamo?

I just learned that "ConvertToInternalUnits" had been deprecated in 2021.
There is also something wrong with the TransactionManager line 30.
Anyways, I could not make this work in Revit 2023 and gave up.
