We wanted to create a QR code that links to our online product database so that contractors in the field could take a drawing, and scan the code for a particular product to see information regarding the current specifications, and track the shipment of that product to the site.
I have a site that dynamically generates QR codes from a URL, so I can generate an image from a URL given a set of parameters already within my Revit model.
I see that I can insert images into an annotation but I have two challenges:
1) converting the URL into an image, ie getting revit to download the image
2) creating an image that is not based on a type parameter, ideally the image would be based on a field, so I could create a calculated shared parameter in the family that generates a URL and then have the annotation family display that image.
There might be another way to approach this maybe with a dynamo script?
Best,
