Automatically Generate Element Based on PDF

Revit API

Would it be possible to generate an element like a pipe layout if it were uploaded and “scanned” by a link in an app such as Blue Beam? The scan would obviously be reading the JavaScript generated by Blue Beam but that makes me wonder if there is a bridging app like Flask that can integrate the two code bases together.

This is more of a Sci-Fi fiction approach to something but I was just wondering if it is possible… Any addition to this post helps! Thank you!

It is possible, but you would really have a hard time doing this in python. I have done this in C#, well actually a full plugin talking 50k lines of code to do that from dwgs and pdfs. I can tell u ive spent over a year and a half doing that though.
