Using eTransmit API in Forge

qd

We are currently developing an application with the Forge Platform.
The input file should be a Revit file and the output should be the result, as if a project was converted with the Revit addin eTransmit.

The classes eTransmit, TransmissionOptions and TransmissionGraph are used.
Unfortunately the function of the eTransmit class "TransmitFiles" always returns the value "False". The output file remains unchanged.

To get the app running, the eTransmitForRevitDB.dll also had to be uploaded to Forge with the compiled addin dlls.
Because eTransmit does not run on an open Revit project, I used the example of "learn.forge.designautomation" to implement the Revit file input/output.

I searched in the forum and found nothing.
Is it possible to use the eTransmit dll in Forge?
What could be the problem?
Here below is the code.

Thanks a lot!

I would be rather surprised if the desktop version of the eTransmit add-in works in the Forge Design Automation environment just like that out of the box. 

 

I am pretty sure that it would be possible to implement similar functionality to what eTransmit provides yourself, but I am not sure how complicated that might be.

 

If that is too hard, you could raise a wish to provide eTransmit in the Forge DA environment.

 

However, please also note that this discussion forum is dedicated to programming desktop Revit using the desktop Revit API.

 

For all Forge-related questions, you will receive more competent support through the dedicated Forge help channels:

 

https://forge.autodesk.com/en/support/get-help

 

I would suggest raising this question there or by email to forge.help@autodesk.com

 

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

 

Best regards,

 

Jeremy
