Get image into Revit family with file path

[Anonymous]

Hello everybody!

I would like to know how is it possible to create a Revit family which get automatically an image from a file path (Revit family will be an Generic annotation family for example).

I tried several ways to do it but i didn't find a solution.

The goal is to obtain an automatic title block. For each project, the title block will get the image contain into the folder (the revit family and the image must be in the same folder i guess...).

If someone has an idea or a solution for this i will be very happy to hear it!

Sincerely,

No, this is not possible. As Revit is based upon that everything is contained inside a single file it means that thing like images will be loaded into the family/project. You would need a script for this (e.g write add-in, dynamo).

However for title block you would normally have at the start of a project your standard title block, then edit the titleblock, add images and load it back into the project and you will be set for the rest of the project. So usually not something you would automate

Thank you Louis for this information.

I suspected I will obtain this kind of answer but now I'm sure it's not possible with Revit alone. I will try with a Dynamo script...
