Modern projects for complex objects the construction of, structures and entire infrastructures take years and thousands of man hours. This work is filled with routine actions that engages almost half of this time. Article purposes are increasing designing efficiency, simplifies and speeds up a work of engineers in modeling of complex objects such as system of buildings engineering equipment structures. For the implementation of method an integrated development environment Visual Studio and C# programming language was chosen for the creation of the plug-in because of the exhaustive documentation and flexibility of this framework.
Computer-aided design (CAD) systems can be customized using a variety of programming techniques that vary in complexity. Еhe Revit API is the way programmers can work with Revit, and it establishes what functionality a software programmer can use within Revit. Such as the Revit API allows to write instructions for Revit to execute one after the other.
According to the Building Information Model, each and every engineering object, particulary Autodesk Revit object, has its own properties and methods. By opering with these properties and methods, it is possible to automate and speed up designing process with the help of programming.
In modern modelling systems the ability to work with programming frameworks is established at the core level. Computer engineers only need to choose which software development system will be used to create projects in order to manipulate BIM objects.
