We are exploring possibilities with the Revit API to automate the creation of a family for a mechanical product to be used in a building.
We have scanned the material for the Revit API and have concerns about it's ability to control the Revit application without launching an instance of Revit and using the menu extensions.
So our question is, is it possible to use the Revit API to automate the process from an external source and not perform these functions through a menu command?
I would appreciate any guidance that you might offer.
Thanks.
