All pyRevit plugins start from the folder with the ending .extension. This adds a new tab in Revit to be have separate commands as buttons.

Command Bundles

(name).pushbutton

This is what gets executed when clicked. It Consists of

• A (name)_script.py/cs file that is basically the program to execute.
• An optional (name)_config.py/cs file that can customize the (name)_script.py/cs file.
• An (name)_icon.png file for the logo of the command to be pressed.
• An optional /lib folder that would host all definitions and classes required for the (name)_script.py/cs to run.

A way for having groupings in pyRevit commands.

Types of Bundles
