share add-in

[Anonymous]

I'd like to share a simple Revit 2014 add-in that I've created with a friend of mine in another company accross town.  What is the best way to zip or send him a file that he can double click and install it?  

Could someone send me a website or place that I can do this? 

Thank you.

Dear Danny,

All you need to send him is the compiled .NET assembly DLL and the add-in manifest.

They have the filename extensions DLL and ADDIN, respectively.

They need to be placed in the appropriate Revit add-in folder.

More on this in the developer guide:

help.autodesk.com/view/RVT/2016/ENU > Developers > Revit API Developers Guide > Introduction > Add-In Integration > Add-in Registration.

This is explained in detail in the getting started material:
