You have to show your efforts trying to solve this task. SO is not a "we will write your code for you" site. If you then have specific questions on your code, you can come back and the community tries to help you. — croxy, Nov 26 '15 at 10:38
@croxy read the description properly I am not asking for code, I just changed the title but you should have read the descrption too. previously I created the title 'how to create....' because i wanted it to be easy to the developers who are searching for the same. — Programmer, Aug 09 '18 at 05:14

Your first port of call should definitely be the official Revit Developer Centre:

http://www.autodesk.com/developrevit

Work through the DevTV and My First Revit Plugin tutorials. That will provide all you need.

The Building Coder provides a comprehensive overview of the Revit API getting started material for self-learning:

Revit does have PDF, but DWF is best for engineering files.

You can check the ImportExport sample, first download the SDK then check the C:\Revit 2016 SDK\Samples\ImportExport\CS folder. Ideally the DWF export will work best.

There are also some alternatives, like A360 Viewer.
