Highlights

  • 🟢 We moved the pyRevit repo from @eirannejad user account to the pyrevitlabs org to facilitate the work of maintainers and to release some (if not all ;) ) of the pressure from @eirannejad shoulders. It has been ten years, you know... 🟢
  • Resolved #2188: rpw resources engine update - 🍾 This is major and thanks @jbf1212 for this fix. Now you wont get the LoadComponent 3 args error using the rpw module

Tools

  • Improved #2209: Lines per view counter improvements by @jmcouffin, a new take on @frederic-beaupere tool, with a new shift click option to query lines in linked files views
  • Implemented #2178: Feature/show view range by @thumDer, pretty nifty tool 👏 Next time you will train on Revit, I am sure you will think about Tamas 😄

Config Changes

⚠️ Some fixes has been applied to the way config files are processed relate to recurring #1451 issues. Hopefully this resolves file access issues on pyRevit runtime. If not, please feel free to open #1451 or file new issues:

  • Terms:

    • user config: pyRevit_config.ini file under %APPDATA%
    • admin config: pyRevit_config.ini file under % PROGRAMDATA%

  • For pyRevit

    • When there are no user config but admin config exists and is marked as read-only:
      pyRevit runs in admin mode. pyRevit settings will show a warning that settings can not be changed

    • When there are no user config but admin config exits and is writable:
      pyRevit uses the admin config as a template to setup user config. Then pyRevit runs in user mode and can make changes to the user config*

    • When there is user config:
      pyRevit runs in user mode and can make changes to the user config*

  • For pyRevit CLI

    • If it is running in elevated mode (system user):
      Writes to %PROGRAMDATA%, otherwise to %APPDATA%

    • When there are no user config but admin config exists and is marked as read-only:
      pyRevit CLI runs in admin mode. Any config changes will be discarded since the admin config is readonly

    • When there are no user config but admin config exits and is writable:
      pyRevit CLI uses the admin config as a template to setup user config. Then pyRevit CLI runs in user mode and can make changes to the user config*

    • When there is user config:
      pyRevit CLI runs in user mode and can make changes to the user config*

Changes

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

Screen Shot 2021-04-04 at 2 42 47 PM

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)
