Revitpythonshell does not appear in Add-ins tab #34

Closed boesiii closed 8 years ago

The Revitpythonshell does not show up in the Add-ins tab under my typical username but if I run Revit using the administrator account the tool appears in the Add-ins tab. What can I do to get the tool to appear for my tyical username which does not have admin rights?

This question was also raised in the RevitPythonShell forum, here is an answer I thought looked promising:

Hello,

You probably installed RPS not for all users. By default RPS addin file is installed here : >%AppData%\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2016 (Usually C:\Usersname>\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2016) This path refer to one user path, you should check this path under your admin account. >RevitPythonShell2016.addin should be there.

Doing one of the following should work :

  • copy RevitPythonShell2016.addin in the non admin %AppData%\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2016 it will >install it only for the specific user you copied the file in.
  • copy RevitPythonShell2016.addin in %ProgramData%\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2016 It should install it >for all users.

Cheers
