COBie Plug In for Revit 2015

[Anonymous]

Hi, I have asked our IT department to install the COBie plug in for Revit 2015 on my machine and when they completed the installation the plug in does not appear. Does anyone know what is happening here so i can point the IT department in the right direction to fix this? Thanks, Chris.

It sounds like they might have installed it under an admin account, but then did the "JUST FOR ME" installation on it. Easy fix for them might be to go find the "COBie Extension.addin" file under the admin user account folder which is usually here:

C:\Users\<<admin login>>\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2015

and move that .addin file to the spot for addins for all users which is usually here:

C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2015

I say "usually" just in case you have some PC configurations that are not right. Also, not the "2015". Just change the year for the version of Revit.

As a side note - I would also make sure you got the latest version from here:

The link on the autodesk.com page seems to be out of date.
