Unable to view "External Tools" on Add-Ins tab

[davidcalvermace]

Hi I am following the tutorial for creating a plugin locally https://www.autodesk.com/support/technical/article/caas/tsarticles/ts/7JiiE4UoWHaTjxzuF754mL.html and I am on the final step. However, I am not able to see "External Tools" in the Add-Ins portion of the ribbon like the tutorial shows. I tried many things that were suggested on the forum such as downloading Navisworks but that didn't work for me. Any help would be appreciated!

I downloaded the Navisworks exporter from https://www.autodesk.com/products/navisworks/3d-viewers?_ga=2.46138215.1128728288.1621788806-1177203...and now I can see the External Tools! Still unable to see the plugin I created which is placed in Autodesk/Revit/AddIns named MyFirstPlugin.addin.

HI @davidcalvermace 
  

    Kindly check you addin file, And ensure the below contents, If any minor mistakes in the below lines, External tools will not appear and Check by changing the GUID also.

<Assembly>C:\Samples\HelloWorld\HelloWorld\bin\Debug\HelloWorld.dll</Assembly>
<FullClassName>HelloWorld.HelloWorld</FullClassName>

Hope this will Helps 🙂
