Visual C# 2010 Express

Hi all,


Normally I develop my code with Visual Basic 2010 Express. But today, I want to learn something about C#. So I downloaded Visual C# 2010 Express, installed it and open it.


I tried to do it the same as in VB however no luck. After some time I found out what I had to do. And here it is:


On page 21 of the "Revit 2011 API Developer Guide.pdf" you can find the first source code for HelloWorld. I did the steps, copied the code, build the program, created the right .addin file and so on. But still it did not work. The button was there, but when I hit it nothing happens...



Just check the following:
When you open the Properties of your project, the Application tab shows what Target framework will be used. In my situtation .NET Framework 4.0 had been set.

I changed it to .NET Framework 3.5 and now this simple extension works. Finally

Property palette disappears and Project browser part far too large

Hi,

I am working on a laptop and in the office I have two monitors attached to it. This all works fine, but for some reason the Property palette totally disappears and the Project browser palette is so big that I can not see the edge of it....???

So, I tried to use the Repair Software and Reinstall Software functionality, but they did not help.

Therefore, I looked into the Registry (regedit) and here is what I did:
1. Exit Revit 2011
2. Go to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\Revit\Autodesk Revit Structure 2011\Components\Panels

2. Select PropertiesPalette, press Change and Paste this into it:

L,0,0,0,1.000000,220,1721,470,300,300,N

3. Select ProjectBrowser, press Change and Paste this into it:

L,0,0,0,1.000000,220,1721,470,300,300,N

4. Close the Registry
5. Start Revit 2011

Now, both palettes will appear on the left side of your Revit screen. Success!!!

Import coordinates into Revit 2011

I updated the Revit 2010 extension for importing coordinates from a TXT file. You are free to select a family of your own. It should be a Point Based family of course.

You can download the extension here.

(It has been compiled for Windows XP 32 bits)
