I’m very interested in where Paul is heading with this:
The QR Code pictured below, when scanned, will pull up the website, triggering the data in it to be sent to Revit. Picture a QR Code with info on a HVAC Unit, you scan it and the data is passed to Revit for when it was installed or serviced.
This project fits into the larger scope of connecting our desktop Revit content creation with actual site information and making all of this accessible to entire teams on the cloud.
Read the whole post:
Revit and RabbitMQ: Passing Data in to Revit from Outside Applications | Architecture and Planning
EDIT: Paul provided the code in the comments below:
I found the code for this example. It is not pretty, but should be very simple. There are two files: the Revit Plugin and the Website.

var connectionFactory = new ConnectionFactory();
IConnection connection = connectionFactory.CreateConnection();
IModel channel = connection.CreateModel();
BasicGetResult result = channel.BasicGet(“hello”, true);
if (result != null)
{
msg = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(result.Body);
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(msg, “Status”);
}
else
{
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(“No Messages Waiting.”, “Status”);
}
return Result.Succeeded;
}
}
