So which final 2011 SDK version should we be using ?

DevCtr Web SDK -> 104 MB (110,098,139 bytes) v4.1.0.0

Revit DVD SDK -> 105 MB (110,416,595 bytes) v?.?.?

Dear Richard,

It does not really make any difference. The SDK really just provides information and samples. The actual PI is completely defined by and contained in the Revit API assemblies which are provided with the Revit product, in the Program subdirectory of the main installation folder where Revit.exe also resides. On my system they are

2010-03-26 20:27 15,494,656 RevitAPI.dll
2010-03-26 20:28 711,168 RevitAPIUI.dll

I have not compared the two versions that you mention. Have you? What dates do they have?

On my system I installed the one coming with the product, which is the 110,416,595 byte version, and I have not noticed any problems with that. I must admit that I was not aware that there was another different version out there.

Cheers, Jeremy.

good point.

I haven't gotten to installing either product yet but I hope to soon.

Dear Richard,

Ok, good luck to you exploring both the product and the exciting new API!

Cheers, Jeremy.

Hello Jeremy Tammik,
I have a question regarding...How to make the document not read only? I would appriciate a fast response...


Thanks,
Ramesh Rajamani

Dear Ramesh,

The document is writeable within the context of an external command that either uses automatic transactions, or manual transactions and opens its own transaction. There are many other contexts as well, but that is the most common one. Look at the getting started material and any one of the hundreds of sample commands provided in the various sample on this site.

Cheers, Jeremy.
