I have an external application (VB.NET) that copies a central model from a server location to the local computer and renames it per our Revit/CAD standards. I need to open that local model in the current open session of Revit. I seem to be hung up on the easiest part of the code. Documentation includes this function, but I’m not sure how to implement it.

My impression is that OpenDocumentFile will open the document programmatically (giving you access to the document object) - however, it does not change the "ActiveDocument". There is no API at present to modify the ActiveDocument within Revit.

Matt is right , OpenDocumentFile and CreateNewProject etc all open documents in
the background and aren't suitable for your requirements. You need to use other
win32API solutions for opening as the active document.
