Rhino.Inside Revit

Hello, friends

  1. I’m trying to create a custom Lighting Fixture that has a “Power” option.

  1. In Revit the only way to do this is to go edit the Family file and manually place/draw a “Electrical Connector” Geometry (As signified by blue circle)

  1. Is there a way to do this all in grasshopper using the New Component Family node?

Thank you.

The New Component Family places a Family Type, the Electrical Connection is a System Element and doesn’t have a Type.

There are Methods to add via the Revit API

Thanks Japhy, but I don’t really know how to code yet. Can you give me a starting point example? or at least specific instructions.

We have a great guide on getting started with python in Revit.

I also recommend the Python for Revit course on PyRevit’s youtube channel.
