AUTOMATING REVIT 1: Create- Simple Scripts for Beginners to Speed up your REVIT Productivity

Making Revit friendly to use is a Challenge
In trying to make Revit more user friendly I have been down the rabbit hole of programming trying to use Dynamo, write Add-ins in C# & VBA, PyRevit and tried to interpret the Revit API documents. With all of those efforts I found I had to think like a programmer to understand the API make things work.
I think like a designer, I want code that works the way I think
I think as a drafter, designer or modeller. I needed a tool that would behave like me.
I turned to using scripts that mimic actions you do in Revit by combining multiple Revit Keyboard Shortcuts into far fewer actions. I was pleased with the result.
Make your Productivity Measurable
In this book I try and show how you can create your own scripts to do mundane and common tasks in Revit, speed up your productivity & also be able to accurately measure your increased productivity.
Easy Scripts, videos & downloads to get you working and developing quickly
There are script samples in the text, downloadable script files & also short videos demonstrating the scripts working.
There is also a Bonus Setup for all the scripts and more all in a main script file with support files at the end of the book.
I hope this is a useful tool in your arsenal of becoming a better designer.
