Revit and Dynamo Interface

[kes.sidagis]

I’m just starting with VIKTOR, been going through the sample apps and all makes perfect sense and it looks great - I love the geometry wrapper. I would like to use VIKTOR platform to bring in our Revit models with global parameters to allow user interaction within ViKTOR. I would also like to utilise model building from Dynamo within a platform.

I assume that I will need some “worker” nodes to interact directly with Autodesk Forge or Revit APIs, however I could not see anything in the docs about it. Could you please let me know if this is possible and if it is, do have some guidance notes or simple sample code that I could use?

Hi Kes,

This may be a rather late reply, but better late than never I guess.

Regarding Dynamo, extensive documentation has been made since you posted this topic:

• A guide for working with Dynamo through its sandbox
• The same for working with Dynamo through a custom Node (BETA)
• A Dynamo tutorial
• Technical SDK documentation

Next to that, when it comes to integrating with Revit directly, my colleague @ThomasN has recently created an example of how to intergrate with Revit using pyRevit which he also wrote a post on in the forum and generated an example from which can be found on our github.

Hopefully that helps!!
Happy coding
