The journey of driving Revit externally (6)

Revit as a Component: Create a new family document.

Today, let's go one step further — not just opening existing models, but creating a brand new Revit family document directly from a specified template file, all outside Revit.

Loading...

Yes, that’s it.

Behind this simple command, Revit is launched silently and visibly, the new family document is created and ready for further manipulation — all via the unified drvt_pybind API.

No manual clicking. No Revit plugin. Just direct automation.

This is not just automation. It’s a new way to embed Revit as a programmable module in any workflow, any platform, any service.

🛠 Example use cases:

• Batch-generating parametric families from specs
• Automating template-based family creation pipelines
• Integrating Revit as a programmable module in broader software workflows

🔗 drvt_pybind turns Revit into a callable module in your Python ecosystem.

Think of it as: "Revit-as-a-Service" — no new plugins needed inside Revit, just Python + API.

Let’s keep pushing what’s possible.
