As I look through the Revit 2017 documentation it looks like C++ has become nearly a first class citizen. I am mostly familiar with starting AddIn Revit AddIn projects using the AddIn Wizard for C#. Is there something comparable for C++? And/or is there sample code or a tutorial on implementing a Revit 2017 AddIn using C++ instead of C# or VB?
C++ has always been a first-class citizen in the .NET world, just like any other language supporting .NET, which was added to C++ with the introduction of managed C++ over a decade ago.
The Visual Studio C# and VB .NET wizards are very easy to create from scratch, and so is a C++ Revit add-in and a wizard for it.
The files that you create manually through these steps can be packaged into a ZIP file and reused to create a Revit C++ add-in wizard.
Look at the descriptions of creating, modifying and updating the C# and VB wizards to see how the same can be achieved for C++:
Here is an old description of a C++ Revit add-in and some other discussions on related topics::
I wish you lots of fun and success making use of C++ with the Revit API!
Please let us know how it goes and what you find out.
Thank you!
Cheers,
Jeremy

Let's scrap this one and continue in that thread instead.
Please do not post anything further in this thread.
Thank you!
