  BIM-Project2-API application on Eden Project Modeling Introduction Building Information modeling is a powerful tool for different parities including the owner, architectures, engineers, and contractors. Information can be transferred more accurately, fast, and completely by using BIM technology. Autodest Revit is typical and wide-used software for utilizing BIM. Revit Architecture is one member of Revit big family. It allows users to design a model in 3D, and apply materials to different component of the model. By using parameter design, and API tools, Revit Architecture is able to offer multiple designs in a very efficient way according to users’ needs. Users can easily get various designs without too much effort once they can utilize the API efficiently. For design purpose, users are able to get random colors, or dimensions, or materials for each instance, like windows, and panels easily by using API connecting C# language and Revit. Without API, users need to change each instance
