I want to say that I feel actually excited. a very strange feeling indeed.
Iā€™ll do my best to contribute to this effort.

Nice initiative! :tada:

Would it be possible to include check-scripts located in custom extensions?
I.e. placing a checks folder in the extension, like we do with hooks now.

I tried to find a way to iterate over the extensions and add scripts in a ā€œchecksā€ folder in lib or extension root, but I have limited understanding of the pyrevit master code.

It would be great for those that develop company specific QA/checks, and woukd make it easier to develop new checks to be added to pyRevit, since we dont have to change/add to the main pyrevit repo code.

this is already implemented (from day one)
in your custom.extension folder you just have to add your folder named checks and put your script.py in here.

Thank you for explaining :+1:

quoting myself in the docs: preflight checks documentation

The ā€˜checksā€™ are all located in a ā€˜checksā€™ folder at the root of any extension folder (meaning even in a custom extension folder). The basic ones that comes with pyRevit as well:

I have made a PR to share my preflight script. Itā€™s my first time on Github, so hopefully you can see it.

Beautiful check, and works really nice,
Is there a way for getting CAD links placed on ACC Docs to show up? I couldnā€™t figure out a way of getting this to work within the API.

If you manage to create a library to report, reload CAD links from ACC Docs, this will be a huge addition to pyrevit.

Thanks Tay!
Iā€™m not sure about how this works with ACC projects. I would have to investigate, but I donā€™t often have active projects in ACC, so I donā€™t have a subscription. If someone could invite me for a period I could do some tests.
I like your idea of adding the option to reload a link.
