Hi Jeremy,
Thank you for the very useful insights. If I were to use APS, would I have to look at Revit API (specifically .NET Revit SDK https://aps.autodesk.com/developer/overview/revit)?
Can you please clarify this for me, since I cannot find a concrete answer:
If I were to develop an application in .Net that interacts with the Revit / C3D API, the only way to make it usable for my team is publishing it as a custom add-in? The only way to access add-in will be actually opening C3D or Revit application. Is that right?
However, my usecase requires not opening C3D or Revit. Run the dynamo scripts on a folder of .dwg or .rvt files without having to open C3D / Revit. Is that possible at all?
Another question as a followup:
Let's say, I write the .Net app and publish it as custom add-in to Revit/C3D and that this add-in will run a given dynamo script on all files in a folder of .dwg or .rvt, is it possible to make the dynamo script take user inputs. Right now the users are using dynamo player to select dyn script, give user inputs that the dyn needs and then execute it on the .dwg or .rvt that is open in C3D or Revit respectively. What will be the equivalent of it when I go through APS approach? Specifically around executing .dyn scripts and provide user inputs to .dyn script.
I have posted this in dynamo forum as well, but have no luck so far.
