Implementing IUpdater

[elina.hyvamaki]

I'm new to Revit API, and I'm trying to learn it through examples. For some reason I can't get this code example to work: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/search-result/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2015/ENU/Revit-API/files/GUID-...
I added using directories and transaction mode, build the solution, and created an addin manifest file for application (to the addins folder) according to these instructions: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/search-result/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2017/ENU/Revit-API/files/GUID-...

There is no error message, I just don't see the addin anywhere in Revit. I must be missing something...

Hi,

nobody will be able to help you by giving such little information.

As you can see in the code, there is no button created in the OnStartup method, so of course you will see no difference in the GUI.

It may be that the addin is loaded in a proper way, so no warning or error message will be displayed at all.

If you look at te IUpdater's Execute method, you see that it changes the WallType of newly created Walls to a given one, "Exterior - Brick on CMU".

But only if this one is existing - so the IUpdater will only do something if your project file has a WallType of that name.

If that does not help, it would be a starting point to post the content of your *.addin file...

I created that Wall Type, and the addin works. Thank you Revitalizer!
