How to open a file that i just downloaded from a360 into Revit?

[Anonymous]

Hello,

Question 1: I wanted to know if it possible to open a revit file in revit using c#?

My idea is to create a web app that will make a user able to: 

Step 1:  list all projects on A360 using Forge data management Api (Done)

Step 2: Download a revit file that is present on the A360 (Done)

Step 3: extract some quantities using Revit API.

Step 4: display those quantities in my Web App using dashboards

Question 2: I wanted to know if it possible to do those steps using c# and without opening Revit (However, Revit should be installed on every computer with an individual licence) 

Question 3: Are those steps the best way to do what i'm planning to do (Display some quantities on a web app)

Thanks a lot

I don know if it was clear, but the idea is directly when i click on button "download", my c# opens the revitFile and launch the commands that will make me able to extract quantities (Revit API), and when the extractions is done, display the dashboards.

Thanks
