The Python for Revit – Building Custom Tools course is designed to bridge the gap between programming and Building Information Modelling (BIM). By integrating Python scripting into Autodesk Revit, you’ll learn how to create intelligent automation tools, streamline project workflows, and boost your design efficiency. Whether you’re an architect, BIM coordinator, or computational designer, this course gives you the technical edge to customise Revit for your unique project needs.

You’ll start with an introduction to Python fundamentals and how scripting works within Revit. From setting up the RevitPythonShell environment to exploring the Revit API, you’ll quickly learn how Python interacts with Revit’s data structure. You’ll practise writing scripts that access project elements, parameters, and properties while learning key functions such as FilteredElementCollector, unit conversion, and task dialogs — the building blocks of Revit automation.

In the practical sections, you’ll develop real scripts that automate common BIM tasks, such as deleting unused elements, calculating wall areas, creating worksets, and even generating new levels automatically. You’ll also learn how to add custom tools to the Revit Ribbon, making your scripts accessible to your entire team. By following along, you’ll gain the skills to develop efficient, reusable Python scripts that improve productivity and maintain consistency across Revit projects.

Throughout the course, you’ll explore how Python simplifies complex workflows, improves model accuracy, and enhances collaboration between design teams. By the end, you’ll have hands-on experience using Python to control and extend Revit’s capabilities, enabling you to become a valuable contributor to any BIM-focused organisation.
