Introduction to Paracore

Paracore is a professional-grade C# automation platform for Autodesk Revit. Born from an architect's passion for the Revit ecosystem, it serves as a high-performance Dynamic Execution Layer designed to expand the possibilities of design automation and provide a robust foundation for the future of AI-powered workflows.

🤝 A New Addition to Your Toolkit​

The Revit ecosystem is powered by diverse and essential tools—from traditional Add-in development and Dynamo to pyRevit, RevitPythonShell, and Rhino.Inside.Revit. Paracore is designed to sit alongside these industry standards, providing a unique solution for those who need the power of C# with the speed of dynamic scripting.

Paracore brings the full power of the Revit API into a high-performance, dynamic environment, allowing you to move from logic to execution instantly.

Key Strengths:​

  • Full API Power: Access every capability of the Revit API within a live, dynamic session.
  • Zero-Boilerplate Parameter Engine: Turn C# code into tools instantly. Paracore automatically generates rich UI controls (dropdowns, sliders, validation) directly from your property definitions without any UI code.
  • Professional Authoring: Leverage the full power of VS Code for script development, complete with IntelliSense and advanced debugging, while executing scripts directly in Revit.
  • Interactive Execution: Refine your logic iteratively with a modern UI, real-time feedback, and deterministic results.
  • AI-Native Infrastructure: Built for the AI era, providing the modular "tool" environment needed for agents to safely and effectively orchestrate Revit automation.

🏗️ Architecture at a Glance​

Paracore consists of three primary layers working in harmony:

System Architecture
  1. Paracore Revit Addin: The execution host that lives inside Revit, providing the direct API context and execution engine.
  2. Paracore Desktop App: The modern user interface for script management, parameter configuration, and workflow orchestration.
  3. Backend Sidecar: The local backend service (FastAPI) that manages script discovery, agent logic, and handles communication between the desktop app and the Revit add-in.

Paracore is built for speed, simplicity, and the power of C#. Welcome to a new way of automating Revit.
