In 2009, while you
are in Family Editor, you have no access to API at all, not possible to
create or modify family geometry or types using the API and had limited
ability to query contents of a family like solids, voids and basic volumes,
basic read only possibility. IN 2010,
we have a whole new world using Revit API, we can run API commands while in
Family editor, we can create and modify geo, types and parameters of family
just like we have it in UI. Better possibility to analyze the contents of
family and work with it. |
