pyRevit - The Ultimate Guide (Live) w/Ehsan

pyRevit has been gaining momentum as a solution for many common problems Autodesk Revit users run into daily. From advanced "purging", to colored tabs, sheet creation, and more, pyRevit has become a staple in my Revit Add-In arsenal.

And it should be in yours, too.

On this episode of BIM After Dark Live I will be joined by Ehsan Iran-Nejad. Ehsan is the creator of the pyRevit add-in (among other things) and he will be joining us to introduce pyRevit to you, highlight some of the great built-in features, and demonstrate the power/simplicity of building your OWN custom extensions.

Oh, and of course, we will be taking YOUR questions... live!
