Can I pull/push a file out of Revit and into an environment like Miro?

Hello!

Does anyone know if I can pull or push a file out of Revit and move it to a different place, like Miro for further collaboration?

Is it possible to move your file from Revit and does anyone know which Revit API would need to be called?

(The question is less about miro and more about, "am I able to pull/push a file out of Revit? If it is possible to do that, I'm wondering what API I would leverage).

❤️

Thank you ☺️☺️☺️

Sure you can. The Document class provides a number of different methods to save a file to hard disk:

You can push and pull the resulting binary file as much as you like.

Hi @n64battle,

It sounds to me like you are looking for a possible way to allow collaboration on your Revit model among your team members (correct me if am wrong). Revit provides such capability using Revit Cloud Worksharing: a cloud-based service that allows any Revit users inside or outside a network to collaborate on a Revit model.

Revit provides EnableWorksharingMethod : https://www.revitapidocs.com/2023/7c29717e-1d8c-4e02-20ad-65c53ea8eaaa.htm

Revit document also provides Document method : SaveAsCloudModel Method (Guid, Guid, String, String) to initiate cloud collaboration for non-workshared or workshared model.

You may refer to this previous forum thread that touches a bit on the issue.

Let me know if this information helps or I have totally missed the point.
