Add-ins are software programs that provide additional functionality for Autodesk software.
Some add-ins are provided to Autodesk subscribers. Other add-ins are available free of charge or can be purchased from a third-party vendor.
When you create a Revit deployment, you can include add-ins as part of the deployment so they are installed on target computers with the Revit software.
You can use command line options to control how an add-in is installed, which may be useful when scripting for automation. The options that are available depend on the method used to install the add-in.
To install an add-in from your Autodesk Account page
- Go to manage.autodesk.com.
- If necessary, sign into your Autodesk account.
- In the left pane, under Products and Services, click All Products and Services.
- In the list of products, locate the desired
Revit add-in, and click
Download.
Note: If the desired add-in is not listed, you may have already downloaded it, or your account does not have access to it. Contact Support for help.
- After the download completes, click or double-click the file to start the installation process.
- Follow the prompts.
When you start Revit, the Add-in tab displays between the Manage tab and the Modify tab.
If you encounter problems with the add-in installation, go to the Revit user forum for help.
Install an add-in with an EXE file
For these Autodesk-provided add-ins, you can use the options that are available when installing Revit from the command line. See Options and Parameters for the Revit Installation Command Line.
