Matterport plugin

[carolinaP8MJ3]

Hi,

I installed the free trial version of Revit today and would like to add a plugin from Matterport. The plugin is free, you need to be an active Matterport user to access it. However, when I go to the "Add-ins" tab in Revit, I don’t see the "Import" option to install the plugin.

Could someone please advise on how to proceed?

Many thanks

With Revit closed, run the installer. After it installs restart Revit. You may see a warning about loading the add-in. Accept it. The Matterport add-in should either be its own tab, or part of the Add-ins tab

Thanks for your reply! This is probably the solution, but how can I reinstall a trial version? I mean, I need to uninstall it and then install it again, but it’s a TRIAL... Am I allowed to download it again?

You don't need to reinstall it, restart it.

Oh! Thanks...however, I restart it but nothing happened 😞 and the  warning about loading the add-in did not appear. Another suggestion? I need to install that plugin in Revit...

Some plugins are installed and added to the menu without any popups or warning. You will have to contact the plugin developers.

I would not recommend tampering with revit installtion everytime you have an issue with a pluging. if the plugin installation was not successful the first time, it is preferable that you unistall the plugin itself and reinstall it....NOT Revit!

To uninstall a Revit plugin, Autodesk recommends the following steps:

1. Use the Control Panel (if the addin offer such a feature):

   • Navigate to Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features.
   • Locate the specific plugin in the list of installed programs.
   • Select it and click Uninstall.

2. Remove Add-In Files Manually:

   • If the plugin isn't listed in the Control Panel, you can manually remove its add-in files:
     • Open Windows File Explorer.
     • Navigate to the appropriate add-ins folder for your Revit version:
       • For all users: C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\[Revit version year]\
       • For the current user: %APPDATA%\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\[Revit version year]\
     • Locate the .addin file associated with the plugin you wish to remove.
     • Delete or move this file to prevent Revit from loading the plugin.

Thanks! but I just realized what's happening: the plugin is available for Revit 2024, not yet for Revit 2025... So I hope I can get a trial version for Revit 2024... and try both products together
