Revit 2024 API Platform Changes and Additions 3

1. API changes
1.1. CefSharp upgrade
Revit and Autodesk add-ins use the CEFsharp library internally for several features. Some third-party
add-ins do so as well. Occasionally, when different versions of the library are used, it leads to instability
issues for Revit. In order to avoid version conflicts, we are clarifying what CEFsharp version is being
used, and loading it prior to all add-in initializations.

• In this version, Revit uses CEFsharp version v105.3.390

1.2. Upgrade ElementId Storage to 64-Bit.

The internal storage of Autodesk.Revit.DB.ElementId was updated from a 32-bit integer to a 64-bit size
value (long long in C++/CLI, long in C#).

This resulted in changes to the ElementId class and members and some other tools.

Deprecated member(s) Replacement member(s) Notes

IntegerValue
will throw an
exception if
called on an
ElementId
whose value
is high
enough to
need more
Autodesk.Revit.DB.ElementId.IntegerValue Autodesk.Revit.DB.ElementId.Value
than 32 bits
to describe it.
It is replaced
by the new
Value
property that
returns the
full 64-bit
value.
Replaced by
a constructor
Autodesk.Revit.DB.ElementId(System::Int64
Autodesk.Revit.DB.ElementId() that takes the
id)
full 64-bit
Value.

The new property:

• Autodesk.Revit.DB.ElementId.Value

Revit 2024 API Platform Changes and Additions 4

allows users to provide the value of the ElementId as System::Int64

The new constructor:

• Autodesk.Revit.DB.ElementId(System.Int64 id)

allows users to create an ElementId handle with the given Int64 id.

1.2.1. Changes to pre-existing enumerated types

To support storage/conversion of Autodesk.Revit.DB.BuiltInCategory as an
Autodesk.Revit.DB.ElementId, the underlying type size of the enum was upgraded from 32-bit to 64-bit.

• This requires little to no code changes, however, code built against pre-2024 versions of the API
may experience type cast and other type related exceptions when run against the 2024 versions
of the API when working with the enum.
• In order to run successfully, code needs to be rebuilt against the Revit 2024 API.

1.2.2. Binary breaking change to the

Autodesk.Revit.DB.BuiltInParameter enumeration.
To support storage/conversion of Autodesk.Revit.DB.BuiltInParameter as an
Autodesk.Revit.DB.ElementId, the underlying type size of the enum was upgraded from 32-bit to 64-bit.

• This requires little to no code changes, however, code built against pre-2024 versions of the API
may experience type cast and other type related exceptions when run against the 2024 versions
of the API when working with the enum.
• In order to run successfully, code needs to be rebuilt against the Revit 2024 API.

1.2.3. Changes to other APIs

Support was added for System.Int64 types to Extensible Storage.

• Updated Autodesk.Revit.DB.ExtensibleStorage.SchemaBuilder.AddSimpleField() now accepts

System.Int64 as a valid type for the fieldType.
• Updated Autodesk.Revit.DB.ExtensibleStorage.SchemaBuilder.AddMapField() now accepts
System.Int64 as a valid type for the keyType and valueType.

1.2.4. Changes to decal properties

The decal asset properties named decalelementId and materialId are changed from type
AssetPropertyInteger to AssetPropertyInt64.

The code that would find these properties and then use them as AssetPropertyInteger/
AssetPropertyType.Integer type should be changed to use them as AssetPropertyInt64 /
AssetPropertyType.Longlong type. For example:

• AssetPropertyInteger decalElementIdProp= (asset.FindByName("decalelementId") as

AssetPropertyInteger);
• if (decalElementIdProp.Type == AssetPropertyType.Integer)

Revit 2024 API Platform Changes and Additions 5

should be changed to

• AssetPropertyInt64 decalElementIdProp= (asset.FindByName("decalelementId") as

AssetPropertyInt64);
• if (decalElementIdProp.Type == AssetPropertyType.Longlong)

1.3. Replacement of TopographySurface with

Toposolid
TopographySurface and SiteSubRegion elements have been superseded as of Revit 2024 by a new
element (Autodesk.Revit.DB.Architecture.Toposolid) and related classes. It is recommended that all
newly created elements and modifications operate from the new Toposolid class. The
TopographySurface element remains in the API for backwards compatibility and upgrade.

As a result of this change, the following methods are marked as deprecated:

Deprecated member(s) Replacement member(s) Notes

Toposolid.CreateFromTopographyS
Toposolid.Create() (from urface() is also available to convert
TopographySurface.Create()
points or curve profiles) an older element to its more modern
replacement.
TopographySurface.AddPoints()

TopographySurface.DeletePoints()

TopographySurface.MovePoint() Use the SlabShapeEditor to query,

Toposolid.GetSlabShapeE
add, modify and delete individual
ditor()
TopographySurface.ChangePointElev points
ation()

TopographySurface.ChangePointsEle
vation()
Toposolid.CreateSubDivisi
SiteSubRegion.Create()
on()
Edit the sketch of the
subdivision Toposolid
SiteSubRegion.SetBoundary()
element using
SketchEditScope

1.3.1. Point Visibility Settings

The new class:

• Autodesk.Revit.DB.SSEPointVisibilitySettings

Revit 2024 API Platform Changes and Additions 6

offers tools to control the point visibility for SlabShapeEditor based elements (floors, roofs and toposolids)
on a per-category basis.

1.4. Family API changes

1.4.1. Placement of Level based instances in family documents
The API for placing new family instances for level based families was available in previous releases but
could only be used in the project environment.

The method:

• NewFamilyInstance(XYZ, FamilySymbol, Level, StructuralType)

has been moved to the Autodesk.Revit.Creation.ItemFactoryBase class and can now be accessed in both
family and project documents using the appropriate version.

• Autodesk.Revit.Creation.Document.NewFamilyInstance()
• Autodesk.Revit.Creation.FamilyItemFactory.NewFamilyInstance()

1.4.2. FamilyManager

Deprecated member(s) Replacement member(s)

FamilyManager.AddParameter(ExternalDefinition, FamilyManager.AddParameter(ExternalDefiniti
BuiltInParameterGroup, bool) on, ForgeTypeId, bool)
FamilyManager.AddParameter(string, FamilyManager.AddParameter(String,
BuiltInParameterGroup, Category, bool) ForgeTypeId, Category, bool)
FamilyManager.ReplaceParameter(FamilyParameter, FamilyManager.ReplaceParameter(FamilyPara
ExternalDefinition, BuiltInParameterGroup, bool) meter, ExternalDefinition, ForgeTypeId, bool)
FamilyManager.ReplaceParameter(FamilyParameter, FamilyManager.ReplaceParameter(FamilyPara
string, BuiltInParameterGroup, bool) meter, ExternalDefinition, ForgeTypeId, bool)
FamilyManager.IsUserAssignableParameterGroup(Buil FamilyManager.IsUserAssignableParameterGr
tInParameterGroup) oup(ForgeTypeId)

1.5. FamilyInstance API changes

The behavior of the following methods has changed. When the Phase does not apply to the
FamilyInstance (e.g., FamilyInstance for annotation), they now return null instead of throwing
InvalidOperationException.

• FamilyInstance.Room()
• FamilyInstance.Room(Phase)
• FamilyInstance.FromRoom
• FamilyInstance.FromRoom(Phase)
• FamilyInstance.ToRoom

Revit 2024 API Platform Changes and Additions 7

 • FamilyInstance.ToRoom(Phase)
• FamilyInstance.Space
• FamilyInstance.Space(Phase)

1.6. Removal of Open ADSK workflow

Open ADSK functionality has been removed from Revit, including the associated API:

• Application.OpenBuildingComponentDocument()

1.7. ImportExport API changes

The base class

• ATFExportOptions

was renamed to BIMExportOptions to better reflect the purpose that it serves in the export options
hierarchy. No functionality was changed.

1.8. Copy/Paste API changes

The Copy/Paste API has been improved to support several new scenarios in Sketch Edit Mode. Method
signatures remain unchanged.

The method:

• ElementTransformUtils.CopyElements(View, ICollection(ElementId), View, Transform,

CopyPasteOptions)

can now be used to copy sketch members from a sketch to the main document.

Additional supported copy/paste cases:

• Copying within one Sketch - If there is an active sketch edit mode, you can now copy sketch
members of the active sketch. The copied elements will be added to the active sketch.
• Copying between Sketches - Allows you to copy sketch members from one sketch to another. To
do this, sketches must be parallel and the destination sketch must be in edit mode.
• Copying ModelCurves from the Document to a Sketch - Allows you to copy ModelCurves from the
document to a sketch, if the sketch is in edit mode. To do this, the sketch plane must be parallel
to the WorkPlane that ModelCurves are based on.

1.8.1. Additional validation for Copy and Mirror API

Revit 2024 API Platform Changes and Additions 8

The methods:

• ElementTransformUtils.CopyElements()
• ElementTransformUtils.MirrorElements()

have had additional validation added to handle copying within or between sketches. All copied elements
must come from the same sketch. Also, to paste elements into a sketch, that sketch must be within sketch
edit mode.

Additionally, copying between two sketches is only allowed if the sketches are parallel. This validation has
been applied to all copy methods.

1.9. Correction of deprecation of Mass Level Data

API
The class:

• Autodesk.Revit.DB.Analysis.MassLevelData

was mistakenly marked for deprecation in Revit 2023, but the class is still applicable, so it is now no
longer marked for deprecation.

1.10. Schedule API changes

Deprecated member Replacement member
ViewSchedule.ImageRowHeight ViewSchedule.RowHeight

1.11. UI API Changes

The DefaultTheme property allowed users to read or write the theme type from .ini file. The new property
CurrentTheme has been extended to have similar function, so deprecated DefaultTheme to avoid the
functional overlap.

Deprecated member Replacement member

Autodesk.Revit.UI.UIThemeManager.DefaultThem Autodesk.Revit.UI.UIThemeManager.CurrentThem
e e

1.12. Structure API changes

Revit 2024 API Platform Changes and Additions 9

The following members will now throw InvalidOperationException if the load is un-hosted:

• AreaLoad.SetLoops()
• LineLoad.SetPoints()
• PointLoad.Point { set; }

1.13. Fabrication API changes

Some flow-related parameters are renamed.

Original parameter name Renamed value Notes

Covers all design and
RBS_PIPE_RELATIVE_ROUGHNESS_PARAM RELATIVE_ROUGHNESS
fabrication elements.
Covers all design and
RBS_PIPE_FRICTION_FACTOR_PARAM FRICTION_FACTOR
fabrication elements.
Covers design and
RBS_CURVETYPE_ROUGHNESS_PARAM DUCT_ROUGHNESS
fabrication ducts.
Covers design and
RBS_PIPE_ROUGHNESS_PARAM PIPE_ROUGHNESS
fabrication pipes.

1.14. DirectShape API changes

You can now provide an external tag to reference geometry. There is a change in behavior for the
following methods:

• DirectShape.AddReferencePlane()
• DirectShape.AddReferencePoint()
• DirectShape.AddReferenceCurve()
• DirectShapeType.AddReferencePlane()
• DirectShapeType.AddReferencePoint()
• DirectShapeType.AddReferenceCurve()

Methods which accepted an Autodesk.Revit.DB.DirectShapeReferenceOptions argument will now

associate an external ID with the added reference object, if the options specify one. An exception is
thrown if the DirectShape or DirectShapeType already has reference geometry with the specified external
ID.

1.15. Parameter API changes

1.15.1. Element.Parameters

Revit 2024 API Platform Changes and Additions 10

The method Element.GetOrderedParameters() is compiled as the current description but the order of the
parameters have changed. The parameters are returned in the order in which they appear in the Revit UI
within a given group but order of grouped is changed. It is not defined in documentation.

1.15.2. Shared Parameters

Deprecated member Replacement member

LabelUtils.GetLabelFor(BuiltInParameterGroup) LabelUtils.GetLabelForGroup(ForgeTypeId)

1.15.3. Parameter Definition

Deprecated property Replacement member

Definition.ParameterGroup Definition.GetGroupTypeId()
