I’m working on a class that loads families and types into a project. This is part of a program that compares the engineers analysis model element shapes to the Revit model element types. The firm I work for has saved the families in different directories for every office around the world. SF has X drive NY has U drive etc..
I want a user to map his or her families in a project and store the directory location. I’m trying to think of the best possible solution for this. I could keep it in an extendable storage in the Revit project, but this would mean a person would need to create one for every project (might be ok). I thought about creating a .txt file which the program reads and is easily editable. Has anyone had this problem come up and what direction did you take? I would like start this part of my code in the right direction if you have any lessons learned that would be great.
Thank you.
