# Revit API Interface Skill

## Purpose

The Revit API Interface Skill provides programmatic access to Revit models for element extraction, creation, schedule generation, and automation of structural workflows.

## Capabilities

- Extract element properties
- Create structural elements
- Generate schedules
- Apply structural parameters
- Export to analysis software
- Rebar detailing automation
- Family parameter management
- View and sheet automation

## Usage Guidelines
