Innovate. Integrate. Automate
Here is a last-minute reminder to register for the Revit MEP API webcast that we are holding on Thursday August 27th.
You still have 36 hours time until it begins, starting now.
To register, you can visit the ADN or Autodesk Developer Network ADN DevTech API
training schedule,
filter for Revit MEP API, and click on the
register
link.
This webcast is open to all developers, regardless of ADN membership.
I am still very busy preparing the material :-)
Hi Jeremy,
I am interested in watching the webcast – I have registered actually. But there’s no time displayed in the registration site. FYI I need to translate the time to my timezone, Melbourne Australia. Pls let me know the webcast time.
Also, I wonder if the Revit API family (MEP/Architecture) contains API/SDK to Green building studio? To me, GBS still appears as a black box – and it would be great to explore and extend GBS along with Revit Architecture and MEP.
Cheers, Flora
Dear Flora,
Glad to hear you are interested. The time is communicated to you automatically in an email sent to your email address after you register, containing the login details for the live meeting and telephone conference. For completeness sake, I can also reveal that the exact time is 2009-08-27 16:00 GMT :-)
No, I am not aware of any API to Green Building studio included with any of the Revit products. You may want to check the information provided among the Autodesk Green Building Studio white papers at
http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=11261770
It includes a document on getting started with the Green Building Studio web service: This document describes how to access your Autodesk Green Building Studio web-service account and manage projects:

Is that what you are looking for?
Cheers, Jeremy.
Hi Jeremy,
I’m interested with MEP since in my current project I need to incorporate service engineering design into the conceptual design stage.
I’ve received the confirmation email from Autodesk but it doesn’t mention the time of the webcast. It’s going to be 2AM in Melbourne! Or 1AM if it’s following British summer time – just to be sure, is it GMT or BST?
I’ve gone through the papers and tried to setup a project. But what I really need is to be able to customize the information going in and out to and from GBS since we’re in Australia and the context of the simulation is handled quite differently.
So that’s why I’m wondering if there’s any API / SDK / Scripting capability to extend GBS – just like Ecotect has Ecotect / Lua scripting or Revit with its API.
Flora
Dear Flora,
Oops, sorry, right you are, 16:00 BST, I guess, 17:00 CET or central European time, which is where I am at.
As said, the Green Building Studio functionality is accessed through a web service. I believe that if you enter the correct URL in a web browser, the web service methods will automatically provide some rudimentary documentation to you, so you could theoretically discover the API methods and parameters yourself through the browser … at least I used that approach myself when exploring a different web service a couple of years back. I am still exploring whether I can find anything easier to provide to you. But first I have to get this webcast done :-)
Cheers, Jeremy.
Hi Jeremy,
Is the webcast going to be recorded?
I don’t think I am able to be wide awake at that time.
Flora
Dear Flora,
Brilliant question, sorry that I forgot to mention that, I actually had in mind to do so. Thank you for the reminder.
Yes, we definitely intend to record this session. It generally takes a week or so for the recording to percolate through the system.
The recording and supporting materials will be posted to the ADN web site and accessible through the training schedule as soon as they become available, through the links mentioned above.
Cheers, Jeremy.
