Is there a way to create a Revit macro/add-in that will be running constantly. My employer is curious if I can write a program that makes a piece of equipment (for example a lighting fixture) a different color if it is not circuited/not connected to a circuit.
Let me know if there is a way or if there is a completely different method I could use to achieve this task.
Be straight with me, because I am willing to make an add-in that you still have to run every time to check the parts for circuitry. But obviously, the background running add-in would be nicer... Thanks!
Possible a couple different ways. Best way is probably Updaters. Fall back would be Idling/External Events.
But generally if you want to update something dynamically based on when things change, Updaters are the way to go. I believe that there are samples in the SDK.
