Example: BIM Dashboard with WebView2

Demo: IronPython host plus a React dashboard over the open Revit document Script: dashboard_ipy_script.py

Python Dashboard

What It Demonstrates​

  • A modeless WPF window hosting WebView2
  • Revit collection and commands on the Revit thread through REVIT_CONTEXT
  • A React page that filters, charts, and groups the snapshot
  • Excel export through the dashboard window's Save dialog

The page is the product surface. Behavior lives in revit_dashboard_ui/design.md. Wiring lives in PythonDemo architecture.

dashboard_ipy_script.py only calls show_dashboard(). Python does not chart, aggregate, or build the workbook. The page does that. The host shows Microsoft.Win32.SaveFileDialog and writes the bytes.

There is no PEP 723 block and no third-party Python package. The script runs on the pyRevit IronPython engine.

Run in Revit​

  1. Load the folder samples/PythonDemo.
  2. Execute commands/dashboard_ipy_script.py.

DEV_MODE in revit_dashboard/presentation/host.py chooses the page:

DEV_MODEPage
TrueVite server at http://localhost:5173
FalseBuilt files under revit_dashboard_ui/dist/

For the dev server, from samples/PythonDemo/revit_dashboard_ui:

pnpm install
pnpm dev

Check and build the page with pnpm check and pnpm build. The browser at http://localhost:5173 uses mock data when Revit is not hosting the page.

An already-open dashboard window is activated again and keeps the Python that created it. Close the window and run the script to load host changes.
