Beyond Dynamo: Python manual for Revit

I wish so bad I had this when I started. I could have saved countless hours sifting through forum threads to find what I was looking for.I would say I only have 2 complaints:1. As shown in photo some text in code blocks are printed too light and hard to see.2. Although logically organized you will still some times spend time trying to find what your looking for, a searchable digital copy would have been awesome. It's already pretty thick book so I guess a good index would have added to that.Otherwise, well done and many thanks to the author for this as it was much needed, as the API docs are all in C#, the big curve for me in the beginning was being able to read the docs and translate it to python, on the plus side I was able to pick up C# real fast later.Cheers.

The book contains a wealth of information about the RevitAPI, no question about that - it's the only one I know of, and a real recommandation !a few of my 'problems' I have encountered :- quite a few times, there's not enough 'framing' of when code works (ex. : page 161 .FamilyCreate is only working when you have a Conceptual Mass Family Editor open, which is not mentioned and finding out what the problem was took a while)- sometimes the code is not working because not every codesnippet has been fully updated to Rvt2022...*I guess the author would say that this is 'on purpose' to activate your software developer-mode (= searching why something isn't working, and with trial & error getting the code to run correctly). This is sometimes frustratingly and painfully hard work, because not many resources on this specific subject are found on the internet.* Admittedly : There are some additions where changes to even Revit 2022/2023 are mentionned, but those are scarseI do however have a rather big issue with the print quality : this is clearly a print on demand (great for updating the code and adding remarks, for sure) but the paper is rough and- 'sucks' up the ink : so the code(in light grey fields) is barely readable for whatever is not in bold- you can't use a roller pen to add your own corrections or comments because it goes right throu and is in mirrorwriting visible from the verso (and messing up the code on the verso side rendering it totally unreadable in the process).- there should be a website (protected by a personalized usercode or so for legitimate buyers) with access to a digital version. Documenting for on the go (one can't remember everything) is a lot of typing (Digitalising the index alone took me about 3-4 hours, and only after that could I start making detailed notes (I use Upnote) with codesnippets to it. )I would however recommend the book (with some alterations maybe) to everyone interested to looking under the hood of Dynamo and want to leverage it wiht PythonNodes.

Heb het boek in een slechte conditie ontvangen...

The book has a clear structure with a leading Table of Contents. The layout of the pages allows you to distinguish between the code and explanations, the added pictures facilitate quick understanding of the text.The book meets my expectations as a compendium of knowledge.
