Revit API 2012 provides a new Performance Advisor Rule API with which we can access to all the existing native Revit peformance advisor rules, execuate any of them, and create our own ones when necessary and hook them up into the system.
We have created a CSV file before to dump all Revit native Performance Advisor Rules (PerformanceAdviserRule) previously, but its content does not look cool at all. In this article, let us create a nice table for all those rules. Here you are.
| Name |
View clipping is disabled |
| GUID |
b37b2ae0-6eab-423d-bec7-59c5598d1c82 |

| GUID |
5d4c01d2-a2c7-40aa-a29e-f9669cf5aeaa |
| Description |

| Check element |
True |
| Filter type |
ClassFilter |
| Name |

| GUID |
10c1bac3-9b90-4772-8731-92ee7b9aca7b |

| Check element |
True |
| Filter type |

Multiple non-overlapping loops |
| GUID |
3410389d-7ae7-4f04-9183-69cd9ef0df48 |
| Description |
Skectch that contain multiple non-overlapping loops produce complex elements with multiple disjoint solids, that can be ususlly replaced with few smaller and simpler elements. |
| Check element |
True |
| Filter type |
ClassFilter |
| Name |

Sketch with more than 500 elements in it may take signifiacant amount of time to solve |
| Check element |
True |
| Filter type |
ClassFilter |
| Name |

| GUID |
90f0eae9-1840-436a-83fb-260f07d809db |
| Description |
Sketch with area greater than 200 000 square feet may slow down selection, drawing and geometric computations. |
| Check element |
True |
| Filter type |
ClassFilter |
| Name |
Host contains too many inserts |
| GUID |
b85b3b89-d2a3-415a-b289-258a21d58da1 |
| Description |
Host objects containing too many cutting inserts may take long time to update. Consider splitting such host objects into smaller pieces or using stacked walls. |

True |
| Filter type |
ClassFilter |
| Name |
Overlapping walls |
| GUID |
cbb14baa-a57c-48ee-aab4-4137fcad779e |
| Description |
Overlapping walls may slow down autojoin and geometric updates. Use embedding of walls or other ediditn tools (elevation profile, wall extent) to avoid overlapping. |
| Check element |
True |
| Filter type |
ClassFilter |

| Name |
Duplicate instances |
| GUID |
b341a0f3-a468-4fad-8b26-39237d8486e7 |
| Description |

| Check element |
True |
| Filter type |
ClassFilter |
| Name |
In-place family contains disjoined solids |
| GUID |
