Hi @Ali.sadeghi.h1994 ,

 

Did you create an add-in file and load the add-in into Revit?
Please take a look at Writing an AddIn Manifest topic from the below link

I found solution. @longt61 advice helped me.

 

I did not put the add-in file in the correct folder. The assembly (dll) file can be any where you want, but the addin file must be in the 2 special folders for Revit to detect it. By default, these folders are:

2.1. C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\your_revit_version

2.2. C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\your_revit_version
