"Can we AI this?" is a statement that’s being thrown around a lot of late. This may bring to mind something else: "They were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.” Frequently, the solution being sought can be achieved through more-traditional Automation, Integration, & Customization. So, this leads to the question: When is it better to automate and when is it appropriate to seek AI solutions? A panel of industry experts will discuss their thoughts on the benefits of AI solutions versus those of more-traditional Automation, Integration, & Customization for your BIM and design workflows. When is each appropriate? And what is the best way to spend your limited development hours.

Traditionally, firms have developed and deployed Revit Add-ins using C# to implement Automation, Integration, & Customizations and custom capabilities in Revit. Autodesk now offers the  Automation, Integration, & Customization API, part of the Autodesk Platform Service (APS), which provides access to the Automation, Integration, & Customization capabilities of Autodesk’s core products, including the Revit API. This session will assist developers in transitioning from the Revit API to the Automation, Integration, & Customization API. The Automation, Integration, & Customization API introduces a new workflow that allows developers to access the full Revit DB API without needing a Revit desktop installation. This enables seamless creation, extraction, and modification of Revit data. This workflow facilitates the creation of custom Revit families, data extraction, and more, without the need to open Revit models. We outline from start to finish how to convert a Revit Add-in to Design Automation, Integration, & Customization. This includes using Postman, managing References, Access Tokens, AppBundles, publishing, and running WorkItems.
