Workshop Description

 Join me on Thursday, November 16th, for an enlightening journey in my upcoming workshop, "3 Secrets to Creating Your Own Revit Add-ins." I'm Michael, a registered architect who has turned my career around by diving deep into Revit add-in development. This session is tailored for fellow AEC professionals eager to leverage the potential of custom tools in Revit. It doesn't matter if you're new to programming or have some coding chops; this workshop will steer you through the intricacies of creating efficient and user-friendly Revit tools. These aren't just any tools—they're tools that can save you time, reduce costs, and significantly enhance your professional abilities.

During the workshop, we'll explore the world of custom tool creation in Revit. You'll gain insights into the crucial role of essential tools and templates, demystify the complexities of the Revit Add-in Framework, and learn to utilize a unique model for mastering C# effectively. By sharing my personal story — from my initial struggles with programming at Gehry Partners to becoming a skilled developer — I hope to show you how tackling real-world challenges can be an incredibly effective catalyst for learning, innovation, and personal growth in our field.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:

1. Identify Key Tools: Understand and acquire the four essential tools needed for successful Revit add-in development, including Visual Studio Community, Revit add-in templates, Revit Lookup, and the Revit API website.
2. Navigate the Revit Add-in Framework: Learn to distinguish between Application and Command add-ins, comprehend their components (like .addin and .dll files), and grasp how to organize and locate files for efficient use.
3. Apply the OSF Ratio for Learning C#: Utilize the Optimal Sources of Learning (OSF) ratio to balance hands-on experience, social interaction, and formal training for a more effective and holistic approach to learning C# programming.
4. Understand Real-world Applications and ROI: Recognize the tangible benefits of custom tool development in Revit, including time and cost savings, through real-world examples and return on investment (ROI) calculations.
5. And a whole lot more!
