You must close all local files, open and click do not warn on your central, and then recreate locals. Otherwise the locals will continue to write the tag back into your central and from your central into the locals.

I don't think the API programmers should get scared just yet, but is there a day coming when visual programming will completely replace custom code?  Julien seems to think so:

"I firmly believe Dynamo could be used for many many purposes, and addin-like behavior is one...
Definitions are easy to share and update. Users can tune them with only some basic Dynamo skill. It is not the same with addins. It is a lot of work to manage and deploy. And users will not be able to tune things. Same thing for macros."

I recently posted about converting Topography to massing forms using a somewhat "manual", yet lofted and smooth, method:
Convert Revit Topography into Massing Forms

Harry provides some code to do a similar thing with triangulated flat faces over here:

You may want to know how to set up access to the public macro repository.  Here is a bit of a step by step:

1. Install SourceTree
2. Follow prompts to install additional packages
3. Login to the BitBucket Page in a web browser (register if you haven't already)
4. Click on the arrow and Check out in SourceTree
5. Clone New -- Make sure the path is set exactly to this (make folders if you have to):
   C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Revit\Macros\2014\Revit\AppHookup\Public_2014
6. After fetching, restart Revit.

Its important that it looks like this in SourceTree:
Upon restart, you should see the Public_2014 tree in your Macro Manager.

To ensure you have the latest version:

1. Do a Fetch and Pull in SourceTree
2. Edit one of the macros
3. Do a Rebuild by hitting F8 - any new code or extra macros should now show up

(thanks to Troy Gates for above tip)

Note:  Make a sample macro and it will populate files and folders in:
C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Revit\Macros\2014

You can also carefully follow the images at :
A public Git repository for sharing Revit Macros at BitBucket | Boost Your BIM - making Revit even better

If you want to submit Revit API code and macros for public review and use, check out:
https://bitbucket.org/BoostYourBIM/revit_api_public

Now, we just need someone to make an API add-in that hooks into BitBucket (somehow), and downloads and installs macros automatically into the Revit session :-)  We would essentially have an unlimited store of easily accessible plugins in an open source repository ... cool, huh?

To submit code, you should login or register for Bitbucket, then send a message to:
https://bitbucket.org/BoostYourBIM

Harry can give you write access.

Boost Your BIM has been posting some awesome stuff.  One older post shows you how to quickly purge your Revit model of Imports:
a FilteredElementCollector, a bit of LINQ, a transaction, and Document.Delete to get the imports (but not the links) out of the model.
