Autodesk.Revit.UI.IExternalCommand
Autodesk.Revit.DB.BRepBuilder
Autodesk.Revit.DB.DirectShape


Project Files: 
Application.cs
It contains the class Application which inherits from interface IExternalApplication and implements OnStartup and OnShutdown methods.
CreateCube.cs
It contains the class CreateCube which inherits from interface IExternalCommand and implements the Execute method.
CreateNURBS.cs
It contains the class CreateNURBS which inherits from interface IExternalCommand and implements the Execute method.
CreatePeriodic.cs
It contains the class CreatePeriodic which inherits from interface IExternalCommand and implements the Execute method.


Description: 
This sample provides the following functionalities:

-       
Let user create simple cubical solid using BRepBuilder.

Geometry created by BRepBuilder then set in DirectShape element to make it visible in Revit views. 

Instructions: 
Open Revit application. Open empty architectural template.and create 3D View.
Notice the extra Ribbon Pannel named 
Create Geometry
. It has three buttons:
1.      

CreateCube
. Press it to create simple cubical solid using BRepBuilder.

2.      

CreateNURBS
. Press it to create Nurbs surface (open shell) using BRepBuilder.

3.      

CreatePeriodic
. Press it to create two solids (cone and cylinder) with periodic face surfaces using BRepBuilder.
