Highlights

• pyRevit is now automatically built. This makes my job as maintainer easier and I can merge contributions faster and release pyRevit more often. The automatic build also generates these Release notes automatically. I only end up editing this section to provide more information and context on the important changes. Read More Here

pyRevit v4.8.7

What's New

Changes to Runtime

pyRevit engines now manually load their own DLLs into Revit to ensure that pyRevit is running on its own engine assemblies. This resolved import wpf errors when another Revit addon would load IronPython 277 (e.g RevitPythonShell) before pyRevit loaded and it would cause a conflict. All engine versions were tested against Revit 2017-2021 and they all load

Minor changes have been added to fix wpf and sqlite3 imports under the new load mechanism.

Changes to pyRevit Installer

pyRevit installer now switched to Admin mode when ran "As Administrator" (privileged mode). So the new behavior is:

• When ran as a normal user, it defaults to %APPDATA%\pyRevit-Master for installation and attaches itself to installed Revits for current user only (%APPDATA%\Autodesk\Revit\Addins)

• When ran as a Admin in privileged mode, it defaults to %PROGRAMFILES%\pyRevit-Master for installation and attaches itself to installed Revits for all users (%PROGRAMDATA%\Autodesk\Revit\Addins)

Support for Dockable panels

Support for dockable panels were added to the forms module. The mechanism follows the Dockable panel design in Revit API. See this Extension startup script example that registers a dockable panel on Revit startup:

class DockableExample(forms.WPFPanel):
    panel_title = "pyRevit Dockable Panel Title"
    panel_id = "3110e336-f81c-4927-87da-4e0d30d4d64a"
    panel_source = op.join(op.dirname(__file__), "DockableExample.xaml")

    def do_something(self, sender, args):
        forms.alert("Voila!!!")


forms.register_dockable_panel(DockableExample)

and this pyRevit script that requests opening a previously registered panel

from pyrevit import forms
test_panel_uuid = "3110e336-f81c-4927-87da-4e0d30d4d64a"
forms.open_dockable_panel(test_panel_uuid)

API

Misc Changes

• Attempt at resolving config access error when multiple instances of Revit are executed together

pyRevit CLI v4.8.7

• cli can now add the current clone previt clones add this <clone_name>
• pyrevit cli now knows when it is running in privileged mode and uses the admin settings under %PROGRAMDATA%\pyRevit

pyRevit v4.8.5

New Features, Tools

• Preflight Checks: pyRevit Extensions can now include a checks/ directory with python scripts engine in *_check.py and implementing a Preflight Check type. These checks will automatically show up in the new Preflight Checks tool

  • PRs Merged #1103 #1135 #1129 #1125 #1123 #1014 #975

• Custom IronPython Engine: pyRevit now includes a custom IronPython engine. This engine is NOT the default for this release, so we have a chance to get it tested, but it will be the default soon. All previous engines are still supported. The custom engine provides a solution to all the IronPython conflicts and import wpf errors hopefully. To use this, go to pyRevit settings and switch the IronPython engine under Core Settings to this new custom engine, or use the pyRevit CLI to attach using this engine pyrevit attach master default --installed

• Added New doc-updater hook: This hook is executed every time a model is updated. See example here this example hook, automatically updates the height of new walls to 5 when they are created

• Added New Tool (#883: Tool to Clear BIM360 Collaboration Cache): Find under Wipe tools

• Added ReKey buttons to Keynote Manager (#701: Keynote Manager Needs Keynote-Edit-KEY Button): Both categories and keynotes can be rekeyed now
