Revit WPF Template

Template in visual studio for creating Revit C# .net addin with WPF

WPF in Revit API maybe make some difficulties for the first times to work with it. As a beginner and a selt-touch developper, I waste many times to understand how does it works. So, I create this template to using in my future other projects.

About this template

In this template, I show how I use:

Organize project with MVVM pattern
Create and raise external event of Revit API with modeless form WPF
Binding command totally, not using event in code behind
Fix some problem with modeless forme: topmost, Window owner, minimize Window
Integrate type Window, Usercontrol in this template
Utils for image of icon of ribbon constrol Revit
Work with Json settings file

How to use it?

Clone/download this repository and open the .sln at the root of the repository with Microsoft Visual Studio.
Re-link references to RevitAPI.dll and others which may be missing and restore package from nuget package manager
Build the solution - Building the solution will automatically create and copy the add-in files to the folder for Revit 2019. Location -- C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2019\TD.Bundle You can change it in Post-Built Event Command Line (Project --> Properties --> Build Event)

In order to use this as a starter for your application, make sure you first refactor the content in the application files (namespace, assembly name, classes, GUID, etc.).
You can create a template visual studio like the template Revit API of thebuildingcoder. Follow the guide: Create item template in Visual Studio
