Is there any way to use RevitAPI to pull/push revit files into BIM360?

[juanquis_avila]

Hi everyone.

I'm wondering if there is some kind of method inside revit api which I can use in order to pull/push revit files into BIM360 and setting our own worksets in BIM360.
I would like to execute my revit plugins within 360. is this possible?

thank you very much 😄

Quick answers:

• You can upload to and download from BIM360 using the Revit API, afaik.
• You cannot run your Revit add-ins directly in BIM360, only in Revit itself.
• You can also make use of your Revit add-in code to create a work item and run that in the Forge Design Automation API.
