Extensions

RevitLookup allows you to add new methods from the API and other libraries using extensions. Extensions are usually used to add additional functions to the Revit user interface, which simplifies working with the API.

Note: The available extensions may vary depending on the version of RevitLookup you are using.

The table below lists the extensions that are available in RevitLookup:
