Hello everyone,
I know this is a long shot but I'll try anyway. I'm a PhD student developing a constraint-based CAD program. Naturally, I'll need a geometry engine, but this is not a particularly interesting part of the research. The idea therefore was to use the API of an existing CAD program to handle that, i.e. using a command like BIM.addWindowTo(wall) and then being able to query the new geometry of the wall (e.g. as an array of triangles) so I can render it in my program. Ideally it would be possible to do this without starting the CAD program so I don't have to wait 20 seconds every time I run the program during development. However, from what I've been able to gather through watching the tutorial video and some experimenting, the only API use supported by Revit seems to be through ExternalTools and ExternalApplications, and I haven't seen a function for finding the actual geometry of an object yet.
Would this be even remotely possible or do I have to look for a different solution?
