from an external application such as content studio?
Question: How can I access Revit information without opening the Revit application, e.g. On accessing Revit data without opening Revit: This question was raised again shortly afterwards in the Revit API discussion forum thread If you have a serious need and a clear vision of what you would like to see, please contact Jim Quanci and let him know. Regarding the question you raise on full access to the RVT file contents without a Revit session up and running, we recently published a request for wishes concerning that area: There is a little bit more data that can indeed be accessed from family definition RFA files without running Revit using the Application ExtractPartAtomFromFamilyFile method: On programmatically generating Revit family RFA files. Since they are standard Windows properties stored there. So-called custom file properties on RVT and RFA files, One additional aspect of the structure storage format is that it also enables access to It is based on OLE structured storage, COM Structured Storage and the Compound File Binary Format. However, I got the impression that this provides very limited and that it would not enable to extract, say, specific wall properties.Īnswer: Yes, the method that you refer to is extremely limited in the scope of information that can be accessed.
The closest I was able to find is your discussion I'm thinking something similar to RealDWG for AutoCAD? Question: Is there any way that I can read a Revit model without having Revit installed on the users machine?
Here is yet another variation on this query:
A huge number of developers have requested a possibility to read or even write an RVT file without running Revit, similar to the possibility to read and write a DWG file without AutoCAD installed.įor the latter, one option that has been around for ages is to make use of the RealDWG library for reading and writing DWG files.Ī more recent and future oriented option is provided by the cloud-based AutoCAD I/O web service.
