Insert Raster Image

[drdanielfc]

How could I insert a Raster Image using the Revit API? In other words, the equivalent of doing Insert>Image

[yann.h]

Wow there are some good ideas here !

Thanks !

Hi Konrad,

several years ago, I stored multiple images as a base64 coded string in a text parameter (Extensible storage was not available yet at that time).

An approach similar to the one drdanielfc suggests.

One thought:

Just take in account that storing data inside the project file may inflate it.

I now migrated EstoreFile from Revit 2014 to Revit 2015:

https://github.com/jeremytammik/EstoreFile/releases/tag/2015.0.0.1

I then migrated it from Revit 2015 to Revit 2016:

https://github.com/jeremytammik/EstoreFile/releases/tag/2016.0.0.0

I hope you find this useful.

Cheers,

Jeremy

Revitalizer, 

Of course, you are right, file size is always a concern. I would only say that sheer file size is usually not a big deal and not always an issue with "performance". I am usually concerned about other things when encountering poor performance. On the other hand I would not recommend storing everything inside the model "just because we can", so I just trust that OP realizes the pros and cons of using Extensible Storage.
