Plug-in that displays Revit's 3d window content

jerrud — Wed, 02 Oct 2019 13:19:04 GMT

Similar to how Forge (not too familiar) or Dynamo can display Revit content in their own window:

Could a Revit plug-in display a copy of what the Revit current 3D view window is displaying?
- example: you rotate the model in revit, the plug-in's 3d view rotates its model view just the same
Could a plug-in display a 3d view from the 3d views in a project?
What kind of viewer would be required, or is more of a Forge thing?
- Could I use Helix toolkit as a viewer or another 3rd party or am I way off base here?

Thank you, thank you

Looks like Dynamo uses Helix and could be a source of sample code.
