Extensible Storage
Hello, welcome back from the break. My name is Jeremy Tammik, and just like Saikat I work in the AEC workgroup of the ADN Devtech team.

One of the main purposes of the BIM model is to store data, and obviously a custom application will often need to store custom data. Depending on circumstances, this data may or may not be visible to and modifiable by the end user. Until now, the only possibility to add custom data to a Revit model involved the use of shared parameters, which was limited in various ways. The new Extensible Storage API changes this in Revit 2012.
