Create Revit file with Revit families using DA4R API - autodesk-designautomation

Please can you advise on the below questions?
Read 2D entity data stored in CAD dwg/database such as WDH, Position etc and create 3D entity associate with Revit family using DA4R API on the cloud?
Assemble all the entities and generate and save revit file using DA4R API on the cloud?
Thanks,
Suresh

If you are talking about the general idea, Yes, you can achieve that with Design Automation for Revit API, you can refer the sample for creating Revit family. And we can talk more if any detail questions.

Metadata extraction from Revit/ IFC models

I am a new user and may I ask any suggestion!!!
How could I extract metadata information of a Revit objects (like Column / Beam / Wall) from Revit and IFC models ?
I search the metadata topic in this forum, but I could not find.
My desire metadata information is Extruted Direction XYZ, Object Shape Information (like Clipping / CSG / Brep / Swept solid).
PLease instruct me any sources and information. Thank you very much!!!
Welcome to the Autodesk Platform Services and Revit API!
You have two options:
Install Revit on your Windows desktop PC, run it locally, implement a Revit add-in and use the built-in .NET Revit API
Make use of the cloud-based Autodesk Platform Services (formerly Forge) and their Design Automation API for Revit

UI5 OData for a flat structure

In my company we started using UI5 and I've already done 2 simple reports.
When I created the OData for the report I imported it from a function that exported a table type.
Now I've created a Function that imports 2 RANGES and exports a flat structure and I have no idea how to create the OData for it.
I've looked up in the internet and here in stack overflow and couldn't find any resource regarding this.
How do I make the OData so the UI5 developer can consume the data in the flat structure.
I'm sorry if its too general, if it is let me know and I will try to add more info.
Thank you.
EDIT: Do I need to just export the fields instead exporting the structure?
Its a 4 fields structure right now.

How to create a table in an Aspose.words Word template?

What's the best/easiest way to create a data table using Aspose.words templating engine? I know one way is to use the API to build the table. I am interested in knowing how to do it using a MS Word (.docx) file (or a .dot) file. An example snippet would be really helpful.
The best an easiest way to create or fill table with data is Mail Merge with Regions. Please flow the link to learn more about this feature and this link to learn how to fill template with data using mail merge.
Disclosure: I work at Aspose.Words team.

Are there mapping/graphing front ends that can call the Socrata API?

How complex a project would this be?
There is the issue of integrating the dataset specific API.
I.e. dataset column names, dataset metadata perhaps
There is the issue of integration higher level APIs.
I.e names of datasets available, information about the specific portal, ...
Am I missing the point here with my question? Or would this a major coding project?

There are a couple of options you might take a look at:
You can actually create maps from Socrata data right from within our data exploration tools. Here's a support article on how you can do so
Using the GeoJSON output from our API, you can pull data into tools like CartoDB without needing to download it first
You could create a map mashup using a library like Leaflet or the Google Maps API. Here's an example of how to do it with the Google Maps API

Is there any news feed (event/activity stream) engine?

I'm looking for an open source news feed engine to use in an app I'm developing.
The engine needs to be able to aggregate news (items) from multiple sources a user is following and also optionally group them by news source or news type. A scalable solution in Java or with Java interface would be great.
I have already developed a very simple one, but I would prefer to use a robust and reliable solution instead.
Do you have any suggestion?
I created a backend for this in Java builing on neo4j: It is independent on the number of users and news sources one follows but depends just linear on the amount of items you want to display
