通过命令行打开 Revit BIM360 模型

Question

Has anyone successfully opened a cloud model via the command line? I can open a non-cloud model by passing the file path, but I'm not sure how you would open something non-local.

Answer 1

The Revit 2020 API introduced the possibility to open a cloud model hosted in BIM360, cf. Open/Save/Modify cloud models on BIM 360 in What's New in the Revit 2020 API .

Another aspect of this new functionality is discussed by The Building Coder on the IOpenFromCloudCallback and the DefaultOpenFromCloudCallback class .

You could use the new functionality in your own add-in implementing a handler for the ApplicationInitialized event to open a cloud model by passing in information to it either via the command line or by other means, eg, reading an input file specifying the cloud model path to open.

Answer 2

I found that if I pass path to BIM 360 project's local cache, Revit treats it like I open BIM 360 project itself:

# powershell

& "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit 2020\Revit.exe" ^
    "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Autodesk\Revit\Autodesk Revit 2020\CollaborationCache\<id>\<some guid>\<another guid>.rvt

But apparently it seems to be working only if BIM 360 project had been opened at least once and therefore cache is present in given folder.
