The future wish I was saying about the VA tab. I was reffering to this button on the image
@Leo13 do you mean to create some icons that import Revit objects by type? that’s something that could be done tweaking a bit the GH file and running it with the Grasshopper Player.
No, not specific from revit. A general one, for blocks the user can create.
Example: I could have a blue button for bathroom blocks, a red one for kitchen, yellow for eletric and so on… That would be nice for personal organization. Today, all blocks keep nested in the same button, and sometimes it could be using a lot of memory (i dont really know but seems logic) when clicking in this button with all the things together.
@Leo13 It would indeed be a great feature - not just for blocks, but for GH styles in general.
@fsalla For example, I have a few GH scripts that generate roof gutter systems. If I could create my own icon, add it to the VaToolbar, and assign my own VA command to it (e.g., VaGutter), I would be very, very happy.
It could behave just like a customizable container for any kind of VA styles, (without strict rules - now it is limited to just Walls, just Windows and so on…) with an option to share the toolbar and “style containters” setup with the team.
Currently, I use my gutter scripts directly from GH, but I encounter problems when sharing them with my non-GH colleagues. The only option is to use GH Player, but it’s not very user-friendly either. Another possibility is to assign my gutter scripts under VaWall or VaBeam, but I don’t like this workaround as it creates unnecessary clutter.

Hi @Leo13 and @MichalKrizo, I understand the request now (I’ve moved this conversation from the old post to do not mix it with the Rhino.Inside topic).
We will discuss this internally if it’s possible to achieve. I’ll keep you posted.

It is possible to create a button in rhino that runs a command, so this is very doable using standard rhino functions. You would just need to add a button and then run the appropriate command. If it is possible to pass along with a command a variable for a certain style you could add these parameter or create a little macro. I see that the command line doesn’t give a lot of options, and most of the parameters and style selection needs to be done from the panel?
Is there anyway to run a VA command and then add style information and set the default parameters that go along with that style? Ie I want a wall of style Basic with height of 9’?
