revit | Experimental plugin for Autodesk Revit

I am trying to query some information from an IFC file by reading out the rooms (IfcSpace) and their connectionsurfacegeometry. I am using a simple example, modeled in Revit and exported in IFC4:

3D view of the Model in Revit with some added information regarding to my question

I am kind of confused about the way the planes of the connectionsurfaces are defined in the IFC file:

I have a revit file in which there are a few doors. When i try to extract the bounding box of the door then the sweep of the door is also included in the bounding box which i dont want. I just want the bounding box corresponding to the door itself. I am very new to revitAPI and C#. I would really appreciate if you guys can write some piece of code which can help me.

I have two Revit model files, A and B, where B is linked into A. I want to upload the files to BIM360 Docs via the Autodesk.Forge API and keep them linked, so I can see the combined model in the Forge Model viewer when I subsequently view model A.

I have the two files in a zip file, but from what I understand, I shouldn't upload the zip file, but rather upload A and B separately, then create a relationship between them.

I can upload the files without problems, and I've then tried to link them via this code (using the NON-encoded version ids for A and B):

One of the queries we run in our plugin requires a lot of memory. Would it be possibe to start up RCE and get more memory allocated for this run?

I am a Civil Engineering student and I have been building add-in programs for Autodesk Revit using the Revit API which is written in C#. My Visual Studio Project is organized into classes that I have created for my program. What is the best/proper way to visualize and present/explain the overall framework/structure/architecture of my program? I want to explain how my code is structured along with their functionalities and interaction between classes.

Thanks in advance

I would like to run my winForm through the button I have created in Revit API, but I am new in this field and I am a bit stuck at the moment.

Here in my Command.cs I am stating what button does after clicking on it. Where instead of displaying "Hello World" I would like it to open my winForm.

Is there any way how can I do that? Do I need to somehow link my winForm application to this one?

docs = ['Consumer discretionary, healthcare and technology are preferred China equity sectors.', 'Consumer discretionary remains attractive, supported by China’s policy to revitalize domestic consumption. Prospects of further monetary and fiscal stimulus should reinforce the Chinese consumption theme.', 'The healthcare sector should be a key beneficiary of the coronavirus outbreak, on the back of increased demand for healthcare services and drugs.', 'The technology sector should benefit from increased demand for cloud services and hardware demand as China continues to recover from the coronavirus outbreak.', 'China consumer discretionary sector is preferred. In our assessment, the sector is likely to outperform the MSCI China Index in the coming 6-12 months.']

model = Top2Vec(docs, embedding_model = 'universal-sentence-encoder')

while running the above command, I'm getting an error that is not clearly visible for debugging what could be the root cause for the error?

Before jumping straight to the problem, I will shortly describe what I am trying to code. Basically, I am trying to do a Revit Add-In which opens a WPF Dialog, shows the id and categoryName of the elements in the active view and when double-clicked on a cell containing the id, the dialog closes and the element with that id is selected.

The problem arises after I double-click. Because the Execute() command ends after the dialog is shown, I am no longer able to perform the Selection.

We are using SQLite properties database from Model Derivative API for properties processing. Previously we were using it with IFC, Revit and Inventor models, it was ok. But with DWFX format we faced with a problem that SQLite database structure is different (images attached). 'display_precision' column is missing in the '_objects_attr' table and '_objects_ercv' table additionally presented. The question is how to handle data from '_objecta_ercv' table and is it possible that we'll face with another structure for some specific file format?
