Hi everyone,
I’m brand new to pyRevit, I really like it and would like to experiment things with.
I’m used to work with the “Bimlink” tool from Ideate Software, another revit plugin.
I would like to know if it was possible to create a push button with pyrevit that would allow me to launch an export (or import) to excel with Bimlink (but using PyRevit)?..
Maybe I’m not making myself clear…
Anyway, thanks a lot in advance if anyone has a solution!
Unfortunately it’s not possible to access other Revit add-ins, unless they provide a publicly accessible API (and they usually don’t).
There’s a convoluted way to detect the comman launched when you click a button (search for sendcommand here in the forum or more generally revit sendcommand on google), but I suppose you want to add some other automation other than clicking the button…
But it may depend on the addin you are “connecting” to and you have to find the correct command_id.
To find the command_id, check the jorunal after clicking the button you try to “copy”, or check the “KeyboardShortcuts.xml” in %appdata%\Autodesk\Revit\Autodesk Revit [year]
I tried the .invokebutton bundle, but never got it to work.
