i installed the education revit 2016 for student, and can't find external tools in add-in tab, can anybody help me?? and how to download more family templates (*.rft files)??
I am not familiar with the student version so if it will be available to you. Exteranl Tools is not installed by default. During installation you will have to install “Install Tools and Utilities” and then Revit Software Development Kit". You also could go tot he ADN site and download the SDK there. I expect during installation of the SDK it will be installed.
You will not find more families templates. Revit has all the templates installed for the different categories (hard coded). You have to use one of the family templates to create your family. What other family templates would you need?

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.
regardless if it is student version or not (mine is a paid subscription) the External Tools is missing in Revit 2016 with fully downloaded and installed and updated 2016 Revit SDK.
Can you please let us know how to fix this. This is a big Autodesk caused issue so can you please respond asap. thank you.
Have you installed the Navisworks NWC Export Utility? There is a version available for 2016.
Thank you for your reply however I have managed to fix the issue since I posted.
How did you fix it in the end?
I am stuck with the same problem (no 'external tools' button) and i don't know what to do! I want to export my REVIT 2016 model to vico office and have no clue how to solve this problem...please contact me if possible!
Thanks a lot!

Hi there!
I have the same problem and I'm still unable to solve it, although I tried all instructions ...
I installed Revit 2020 and Visual Studio 2019 and I follow the instructions here:
the addins directory in my computer seems to be :
D:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit 2020\AddIns
so, I put the manifest file there, but I can't see External Tools in add-in tab,
I'm really frustrated:-( , Can anybody help ?
