python loader without UI
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The design automation api in forge does not support the UI module of Revit. https://forge.autodesk.com/en/docs/design-automation/v3/tutorials/revit/step1-convert-addin/ I'm interested in exploring using the pyRevitLoader to execute a python script in that environment.
Describe the solution you'd like A loader that does not use the UI, but only executes a script on startup so I can use it in the Forge environment.
Describe alternatives you've considered Not using python in the Forge context haha. Otherwise, someone else also made just a loader a while back (https://github.com/cridder/revitpythonloader). But yours seem much better up to date with engine versions.
Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.
Oh this is very interesting. Let me collect more info on how the design automation API works and I'll get back with you.
very cool! Let me know if I can help with anything. Jeremy Tammik has been posting some useful bits around the approach of an add-in that can be used both in Revit directly and forge (https://thebuildingcoder.typepad.com/blog/2019/02/preparing-a-revit-add-in-for-design-automation.html) and also the folks from Autodesk have been building some tooling around this (https://github.com/Autodesk-Forge/design.automation-csharp-revit.local.debug.tool) more on the C# side of things.
I would love to see this functionality because I have a similar need. Is there any update?
