Revit Project Setup Automation

Set up the Revit model for:

"$ARGUMENTS"

Before writing code

Ask (one question if ambiguous):

1. What project type? Residential, commercial, mixed-use, infrastructure?
2. Which components? Worksets, levels, grids, view templates, standard views — or all?
3. Any specific names/numbers? (e.g. level heights, grid spacing, workset names from BEP)

Each script below is standalone — run only what's needed.

Script 1: Create worksets from a list

import clr
clr.AddReference('RevitServices')
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager
clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *

    "Structure",
    "MEP",
    "Site",
    "Interiors",
    "Shared Levels and Grids",
    "Linked Models",
    "CAD Links",
]
# ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

try:
    if not doc.IsWorkshared:
        OUT = "ERROR: This model is not workshared. Enable worksharing first (Collaborate > Worksets)."
    else:
        existing = [ws.Name for ws in
                    FilteredWorksetCollector(doc).OfKind(WorksetKind.UserWorkset).ToWorksets()]
        created = []
        skipped = []

        TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)

        for name in WORKSET_NAMES:
            if name not in existing:
                Workset.Create(doc, name)
                created.append(name)
            else:
                skipped.append(name + " (already exists)")

        TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()
        OUT = {"Created": created, "Skipped": skipped}

    TransactionManager.Instance.ForceCloseTransaction()
    import traceback
