PostableCommand Example

This is the complete macro to run a Postable Command. To recreate this example, do the following:

• In Revit, open the macro editor.
• Create a new C# module named Pcommand.
• Create a new C# Macro named Pcommand (make sure it is created within the Pcommand Module).
• Inside the macro editor window, copy and paste parts of the code below that aren't automatically created. Your AddInID will be different.
• From the build menu, choose Build Solution. Fix any errors and rebuild.
• Once it builds without any errors, go back to the Macro Manager box, and run the macro from there.
• Note that if you select an object before running the command, it will place the same family and type as selected. (I tested it with an electrical device.)
