How is Revit database structured?

I was looking for a conceptual structure of Revit models. I found the following graph which seems to be from 2009. I wonder if it is still valid.

revit project structure

Solution

  • Yes, that is still a (very nice and) valid representation of the main Revit database structure.

    Thank you for sharing that!

    Here is a Revit 2010 API class diagram:

    However, it has not been officially updated since then. You can use the built-in Visual Studio tools to navigate through and explore the class structure at need:
