Revit Integration

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I'm new to Revit, can you please help me with the below queries to understand Revit better,

1. Is it possible to integrate Revit with a Middleware like (SAP NetWeaver, Oracle SOA, Dell Boomi)? To transfer BIM model and Metadata from Revit to third party application (Ex, ERP).
2. What kind of protocol Revit supports for integration? (Ex. SOAP, REST)
3. Is there web services readily available in Revit to transfer BIM model (or files) and Metadata from Revit to third party application?

Thanks,

Sheik

Welcome to the Revit API!

Revit is an end user desktop application and does not integrate with web development in the manner you suggest.

Maybe you are thinking of Autodesk Forge and the Forge Design Automation API for Revit?

Hi Jeremy,

Thank you very much for your reply.

Sorry I am new here, I just want to download BIM Models and BIM data using API services, is it possible with Revit or Revit+Forge?

And does Forge has pre-built application to do this functionality on Revit? or do we have to do the development on Forge for enabling the Revit API?

Thanks,

Sheik

Download from where?

We use data from IFC files to exchange data to and fro between a BIM model and a Facility Management software. We display the BIM model using xBIM viewer in the Facility Management software. Now we want to provide bi-directional integration with REVIT files and use AutoCAD A360 viewer instead of xBIM viewer. Please suggest the best way forward.

I would say it is very easy. Ensure you can identify and retrieve your BIM elements in all your environments. Manage their data. Personally, I would put as much data as possible, or at least everything that I really care about, into my own database somewhere. For that, I am a fan of NoSQL, but anything modern and scalable will do fine. I did lots of research connecting desktop and cloud that should come in handy for this task:
