Generic add-in error on HTML generation

Anonymous — Thu, 07 Nov 2013 18:05:26 GMT

I have been playing around with the Revit API recently in order to provide alternative pipe pressure loss calculations for some of our users. Much thanks to the code provided by Jeremy Tammik or this never would have been possible for me. I have made the necessary code changes for our calculation needs which is working.

My problem is really more of an annoyance. We cannot export a pipe pressure loss report to HTML. See attached error. It is complaining the the required .xslt file it is looking for is not at the specified location but it is. I have done what debugging and code checking I know how to do but can't fix it.

We can export to .csv just fine. I just don't like a fully working piece of code.

Thanks!

Dear ,

I answered your query as well as I could on The Building Coder blog:

I hope that helps.

Cheers,

Thanks Jeremy. Your detailed post on your blog was great help. I totally missed that the code was expecting a folder 'output' where the .xslt file was to reside. And because the error didn't show the full path and my programming skills are lacking (I couldn't debug the class and had just started looking into creating an .exe or unit test to do so) I assumed it was looking in my addins folder.

I edited the code to expect a folder name meeting company standards where the .xslt will reside. The HTML generation now works.

Thanks again.
