Insert RVT to coordinates

[rapoport.3d]

My apologies for a novice’s question. How do I write a program to link an RVT file in given coordinates relative to project base point?

Have you worked through the My First Revit Plug-in tutorial, or read through the documentation about macros ?

I would start there if you haven't. After that, you'll need to look through the API documentation to find which functions need to be called. Here is the documentation on the RevitLinkType class, and the RevitLinkInstance class, which I think would be good starting points for what you're looking to achieve.

good luck!

Thanks so much for your reply. Actually, I am not a programmer and I do not intend to delve into the Revit API.  I am planning an application for my architecture firm, and I would like to be sure that I can do two actions automatically: 1. Link Revit files into specified coordinates. 2. Move named reference planes by specified distances. Once I know that these actions are feasible I will assign the job to a programmer. Thanks again.

Sorry for the late reply, just noticed your open question. Yes, I can confirm that these two tasks can be achieved programmatically via the Revit API.
