Revit - Robot interface

Can an addin work in both Revit and Robot? Can it perform actions in Revit and collect results from Robot?

Dear Pnacht,

Please take a look at the REX. It is included with the Revit SDK and can be used to create add-ins that works for both Revit and RSA - it can work in multiple contexts:

Thank you for the reply.

However, REX seems to be a form of creating addins that work in each of the programs (Revit and Robot). I see now my question was unclear. What I meant is if it is possible to create a persistent addin which, when run in Revit, performs certain actions within that framework and, when the model is transmitted to Robot, the addin then performs actions on the analytical model found in Robot.

Another solution would be to subscribe a second command to the "Send to Robot" event. Can that be done? I've done some searching in the documentation, but can't find such an event.
