Revit 2011 Custom Ribbon Tab

by Guy Robinson 9. April 2010 00:14

At the beginning of the year I showed you how to add your own tab to the Revit Ribbon. I’ve updated this now for Revit 2011.  However, I’ve taken the chainsaw to my code for 2 reasons. The API wasn’t very elegant and the 2011 ribbon seems to behave itself a lot more than the ribbon in Revit 2010.More...

Bit of a mess but then again so is the ribbon and I’m sure there will be many happy customers if they give us a choice until the messribbon is fixed.

Revit 2011 - the most significant release EVER

Yes I have taken my medication and no, I have no crystal ball or prior knowledge ;-) I’ve generally stayed out of the debate over the ribbon UI in Revit 2010. However, this post says too much about Revit development within Autodesk to go unchallenged. No, I’m not saying “if they don’t fix the ribbon in Revit 2011 the world will end”. The issues I’m going to discuss are considerably more fundamental than that…More...

Images and the Ribbon in Revit 2010

by Guy Robinson 23. March 2009 12:45

Compared with the path only option previously available, passing the Button data an ImageSource is a vast improved in the Revit 2010 ribbon implementation. However, manipulating Image objects in .NET3.5 is quite different to Images in .NET2.0. More...
