Add SwichDesign automatic dimensions extension

[Swichllc]

automatic dimensions extension

Description

Added SwichDesign.extension with automatic dimensioning for Revit. Includes three main library modules (geometry, revit_io, standards) providing pure geometry algorithms, Revit API integration, and US architectural dimensioning standards. The main button implements exterior (multi-tier wall/opening dimensions) and interior (room-driven) dimensioning modes with support for angled buildings via frame transformations, core/finish face selection, and opening dimensioning modes.

Pull request overview

Adds a new SwichDesign.extension button under the main pyRevit tab to automatically place exterior and interior dimension strings in Revit floor plans, backed by a small internal library split into geometry (pure algorithms), Revit API I/O, and dimensioning standards.

Changes:

• Introduces the Automatic Dimensions pushbutton script with exterior (multi-tier) and interior (room-driven) modes plus a WPF configuration dialog.
• Adds autodimswichdesign helper modules for geometry processing, Revit element/reference discovery, and US-style dimension spacing/formatting rules.
• Provides a localized bundle.yaml tooltip/title describing usage and behavior.

Project Brief was used for internal developing process and is not required for plugin operation

"Dry run" feature the testing and the ability o run the code without populating the model - testing for issues with the model geometry that might lead to failure

General opinion:

• I wouldn't add a new extension folder to the repo, either find a place or have it a separate repo
• as it's US only, it may be too specific for the general tools?
• as all other tools are translated by now, the resource dictionaries for other languages should be in there. Don't know if it's US only though.
• if there's an actual issue like this title indicates def pyrevit_config_broken(): I'd try to fix that instead of some workaround
• as this is a new tool, I wouldn't leave stuff like saved by older versions which indicates iterations during development in there
• if libs aren't actually reusable by other tools, just place them in the same .pushbutton folder
• I'd rely on internal tools DB.UnitFormatUtils instead of custom stuff like this def format_ft_in(value_ft):

@Swichllc I agree with @Wurschdhaud comments and more importantly on

• if libs aren't actually reusable by other tools, just place them in the same .pushbutton folder
