We have demonstrated how to generate Revit ribbon creation code automatically in either C# or VB.NET with the assistance of the Ribbon Creator of Revit Addin Wizard (RevitAddinWizard) many times before. The Revit Ribbon Creator provides a cool user interface to help collect necessary data for all available ribbon groups and items, assign images big or small to them, and set up associations between Revit ribbon buttons and external commands.
The Ribbon Creator has been enhanced dramatically to facilitate the Revit .NET API ribbon creation work much better. The most noted new features are the Revit Ribbon Definition schema invention and the ribbon creator row/item edition.
When the tools menu is clicked, we will find the Options command. The Ribbon Creator Options only contain one option currently, Always Save Ribbon Definition Before Creator or not.
If the option is checked off as above, from next time on whenever the OK button is pressed to create the Ribbon Creator code into the External Application as chosen, the current Revit Ribbon Definition will be saved first. The same name as before if it had will be used to save the Revit Ribbon Definition, otherwise, the RRD file Save As dialog will show up to collect a new name for the current Revit Ribbon Definition.
The new Ribbon Creator of RevitAddinWizard makes Revit programmers’ life much easier for both C# lovers and VB.NETers.
