Do you have to be a mathematical genius to program macros using the revit API? If no then how do i get started on this... I want to write a macro to add more parameters to the sheet families, that can be controlled through sheet schedules.

thanx,

the desperado...

Gandalf: Your treachary has already cost many lives. Thousands more are now at risk, but you could save them Saruman. You were deep in the enemy's council. Saruman: So you have come here for information. I have some for you. [he reveals his palantir] Saruman: Something festers in the heart of Middle-Earth. Something that you have failed to see. But the Great Eye has seen it. Even now he presses his advantage. His attack will come soon. You're all going to die. But you know this don't you, Gandalf? [sneering] Saruman: You cannot think that this Ranger will ever sit upon the throne of Gondor. This exile, crept from the shadows, will never be crowned king. Gandalf does not hesistate to sacrifice those closest to him, those he professes to love. Tell me... what words of confort did you give the halfling before you sent him to his doom? The path that you have set him on can only lead to death. Gimli: I've heard enough." [to Legolas] Gimli: "Shoot him. Stick an arrow in his gob. [Legolas goes to do so] Gandalf: No. Come down Saruman, and your life will be spared. Saruman: Save your pity and your mercy; I have no use for it! [he fires at Gandalf, who emerges unscathed from the flames] Gandalf: Saruman, your staff is broken.

I ended up reading the bottom part of your post and not understanding your actual post. Check here for some insights on macros: http://wikihelp.autodesk.com/Revit/enu/2012/Help/Revit_User's_Guide/2921-Customiz2921/3112-Creating3112/3116-Using_Ma3116/3119-Creating3119
