Contains code for Revit plugins made to help with documentation and other purposes. Made for my employers Archi5.
Revit is an architecture and civil engineering software designed to model buildings and their data (contributing to the Building Information Modelling paradigm). It is particularly good at editing graphical documentation as well as spreadsheets and quantity takeoffs from a single model.

The language used for the plugins is C# - it is the most well documented and supported available amongst the compatible languages. The plugins almost exclusively use system libraries and the Revit API - one exception is the WPF (Windows Presentation Format) used for the UI. It is flexible and has similarities with web development. All plugins are modeless : they run in parallel to Revit instead of halting its execution while on. They therefore implement IExternalEventHandler using the RevitEventWrapper class when they need to interact with Revit in a transformative way. All Transaction are wrapped into such a handler. The UI are dynamically populated with the Revit model data. A new Ribbon Panel with all the graphical elements is created using RibbonPanel. Every plugin is compiled to a separate namespace and therefore .dll, for flexibility in the choice of the plugins.
Allows the user to either rename a list of views using the same pattern, or to duplicate them with a modified name and the right setting (with or without details, as a depending view).
