Paracore v3.0.0 — The "Professional Automation" Update 🏮🏛️🚀

🚀 Paracore v3.0.1 Patch Release (Feb 2, 2026 @ 11:00 PM) A combined stability update addressing post-launch feedback:

  • Critical Fix (Add-in): Resolved unit precision truncation (Floating Point -> Integer).
  • Safety Fix (Desktop): Restored DocumentType validation logic in the Script Gallery to prevent execution in incompatible environments (e.g., Project vs Family).
  • Enhancement (Examples): Furniture_Path_Placer.cs upgraded with high-precision equidistant sampling and advanced distribution modes (Divide, Centered).

Welcome to Paracore v3.0! This release marks our transition into a Long Term Support (LTS) environment for professional C# automation in Revit. This update focuses on Authoring Precision, UI Clarity, and Integrated Industry Libraries.

🚀 Key Features​

1. 🇽 "Hero" Focus Mode​

  • Zero-Scroll Isolation: A premium interface that isolates your selected script into a centered, distraction-free environment.
  • Card-Level Controls: Enter and exit Focus Mode directly from the bottom-right of the script card.
  • Improved Workflow: Provides a "Hero" view with high-fidelity atmospheric effects, keeping the focus strictly on the task at hand.

2. 📁 Multi-File Script Awareness​

  • Visual Differentiation: High-fidelity visual markers to instantly distinguish between Single-File scripts and Multi-File scripts.
  • Gallery Filter Toolbar: A new navigation bar allowing you to filter the gallery by All, Single, or Multi script types.
  • Native Renaming: You can now rename both Single-File and Multi-File scripts directly from the Script Cards in the gallery.

3. ⚓ Hardened Engine (v3.0)​

  • "Ironclad" Scope Isolation: A precise re-engineering of the parameter rewriter. The engine now strictly adheres to the Params class, preventing conflicts with top-level local variables.
  • "Explain & Fix" Hardening: Significant improvements to the AI system instructions used in VS Code workspaces, resulting in smarter automated fixes and explanations.
  • Advanced State Persistence: The "Reset" according to your preference has been hardened to preserve your custom Parameter Presets while clearing current values.

🔋 "Batteries-Included" Libraries​

Paracore v3.0 now ships with a suite of professional industry-standard libraries, available globally in every script:

  • RestSharp: Professional-grade HTTP and REST API integration for connecting Revit to the web.
  • MathNet.Numerics: Specialized advanced linear algebra, statistics, and mathematics.
  • MiniExcel: High-performance Excel reading/writing without the overhead of COM/Office.
  • ImageSharp (SixLabors): Cross-platform image processing and pixel manipulation.

🔒 Proprietary Tool Generator (.ptool)​

Paracore now includes a native compiler that transforms your open-source scripts into protected, binary-compiled tools.

  • IP Protection: Scripts are compiled into binary assemblies (.dll) embedded within a .ptool wrapper. Source code is completely stripped.
  • Seamless Workflow: Build tools directly from the Floating Code Viewer with a single click—no external compilers required.
  • Native Integration: Protected tools appear in the Gallery, support full parameter inspection, and run identical to standard scripts.

📚 Authoritative Demonstrations​

To help you get started, v3.0 includes a dedicated Paracore-Examples repository.

  • ParacoreTiler.cs: The v3.0 Flagship. A high-end computational design tool featuring intelligent gap-filling, rotational pattern logic, and real-time cost analytics.
  • Api_Weather_RestSharp.cs: Connects to a live weather API to fetch site data.
  • Math_Structural_Audit.cs: Performs statistical analysis on Wall lengths.
  • Excel_Level_Export.cs: Ultra-fast, zero-COM export of project Levels to Excel.
  • Image_Asset_Processor.cs: Production-ready image resizing and grayscale filtering.

🎛️ New Rich UI Controls​

Paracore v3.0 introduces a brand-new suite of professional parameter types:

  • Numerical Steppers: High-precision +/- controls for exact iteration counts.
  • Color Pickers: Native visual selection for architectural design overrides and material properties.
  • Segmented Toggles: Modern horizontal buttons for clear, mutually exclusive option selection.

🏗️ High-End Authoring Experience​

  • Unified Run UX: Intrusive modals have been replaced with a silent "disabled + sequential tooltip" validation pattern.
  • Group Validation Hints: Pulsing red indicators on parameter groups proactively guide you to missing fields, even when collapsed.
  • Safety Lock Pattern: A new industry-standard "typed confirmation" pattern for destructive operations is now built-in and enforced for AI generation.
  • "Surgical Reset" Hardening: Significant improvements to the AI system instructions, including a new "Mental Decoupling" that forces the AI Debugger into a Break-Fix ONLY mode, preventing unnecessary refactoring.
  • Backend Hallucination Filter: An automated fail-safe that scrubs unwanted AI-generated namespaces (like Paracore.Scripting) before they reach the workspace.
  • Sync'd AI Knowledge: All Paracore AI touchpoints are synchronized with the latest coding standards and global static property accessibility rules.

Status: Production Ready. v3.0.0-gold 🏮🏛️🚀
