The Architect's Foundation​

My journey started 20 years ago as an Architect from Addis Ababa University. I have always loved the tools of our trade; I just wanted to find ways to use them even more effectively.

• 2005: I was introduced to Autodesk products (AutoCAD, 3ds Max). I was fascinated not just by modeling/rendering, but by the programming concepts hidden underneath.
• 2011: I moved to Revit. I loved the parametric power and wanted to do more with automation.
• 2017: I started learning programming concepts (Python, C#, C++) seriously—not to master them all, but to understand what was possible.

Overcoming My First Workflow Challenge: Tracing (2023)​

A common task in my practice was bringing AutoCAD designs into Revit. While both are powerful in their own right, the specific task of manually tracing layers was time-consuming for my particular design workflow. I built SH_Tools (SynCad) to automate this conversion layer-by-layer.

Refining the Automation Journey (2024)​

Building SH_Tools opened my eyes to the potential of Dynamic Execution. I realized that having an additional approach—one that allowed me to interact with the API through expressive, on-the-fly C# scripts—would be a powerful addition to my toolkit, satisfying my evolving architectural needs.

Today, we at Paras Codarch are thrilled to announce the official launch of Paracore, a desktop application poised to revolutionize the way you approach Revit automation.
