BIM automation

Hi,

I intend to automatically extract data from Schedules as a service(without GUI)

I am aware that Revit API is able to perform this operation as a macro natively within Revit software environment.

I would like to consult with the following questions

1.)Is there any solutions, methods to run Revit API from shell?

2.)Can Revit API operate outside of Revit software?

Many thanks in advance

Hi,

1. No, not really. There are workarounds, cf. below.

2. No.
