    Default Visual studio/Revit Dynamically reload an add-in for debugging purposes

    Hi,

    I am new in the world of programming and especially in the API-Revit.
    I would soon start developing an add-in to fullfill my company expectation in extracting quantities throught Revit model.
    Using Visual Studio, i wonder if there any plug-in that permit testing the adding each time that i will implements changings in the code without restarting Revit?
    Because otherwise i think that it will become very time-counsuming no?

    Thanks for u help!!

    Anyine knows about RvtUnit Addin? that might help me ( i read about it in the blog the building coder) but i can t find the addin in internet.

    From what I understand this isn't possible. Adopt a more regimented development procedure and the problems will be minimal ie. there should be minimal code changes by the time it gets to live testing. Get everything outlined and organized at the start then add the code to suit it, rather than the "hack'n'slash" style of adding/fixing code a bit at a time based on run-time feedback. When it comes time to live test it should be a pro-forma confirmation with perhaps a few bugs to squash.

    Hello,

    With a addin it is possible.
    When scripting custom addins for revit I find it useful to use the Add-In Manager which is included in the SDK by Autodesk.
    if you google it, you will find multiple sites with an explanation
