I am curious about the idea of exporting a .scz file through the Revit API and sending that straight to the Hoops stream chache rather than sending my revit files to the hoops converter. Anyone know if that is possible? thanks.

Hi,

this workflow is definitely supported through our libsc authoring API (that is also used by converter under the hood by the way). Of course, in this scenario you are responsible for creating the individual mesh geometry, and any other attributes and any associated model tree information.

Below is the relevant programming guide entry to get you started with authoring:
