Too many tabs creates by Api

randerson — Tue, 27 Jun 2017 06:59:21 GMT

Can any one help me fix this issue? Any other addin that I install, creates either its own tab or a tab under Add-ins but Revit Extensions tab will not?

Hi,

the API documentation says there is a maximum of 20 tabs in a session.

Since you are using many, many add-ins I think you will need to skip one or two.

@Anonymous: on the one hand, you promote the App Store, on the other, there is such a useless limitation.

I don't get it...

hi, thanks for the reply

the only problem I have with that is, any other add-in I install creates its own tab, or a sub tab under Add-ins with no problem, its only the official Revit Extensions add-in that seems to be doing this.

Hi,

add-ins are loaded in alphabetical order:

Presuming that the related *.addin file's name begins with an "R" (RevitExtensions), it is likely that is will be loaded after all the other ones (which reserve their tabs and don't spare any free one)
