Hi @Marko Thx for sharing your code. How to acces ActiveUIDocument into your FamilyManagerDockPane? You do a registration when Application started, and make a dp.Show() on ExecuteCommand, but, when or how to pass the commanddata? Thx.

[@CesarCADfull]

Hello Marko, thank you for your Videos. I have a questionis, is possible to change the parameters of a Workset using C# API?

[@nasimnaji9405]

thank you so much for the great tutorial, but I have a problem, it builds with no problems, and revit asks me whether I want to load in the plugin which makes me believe that the plugin is being recognized by revit. but the problem is no tab, ribbon or buttons show up inside of revit. thanks in advance. any help is greatly appreciated

[@MarkoKoljancic]

Thanks for kind words Nasim Naji. Can you share your code on my email so I can take a look. [e-mail]

[@arkplato2186]

hello Marko, is there a way to select multiple elements from linked model of the same type though. Please shed some light on this, have been struggling for a very long time.

[@suneilnevgi8386]

is there any facility to create our own buttons & menus inside Revit ? pl guide

[@TheGivers]

Hi, I also followed and doesn't seem to load into Revit. No error on the build.

[@MarkoKoljancic]

Than probably problem is in .addin file and location if threre is no compile errors. Check .addin file content bitbucket.org/cbb_team/circles-bim-blog/src/178689411b6c6ec88360115b2d810989bdd01ca5/addin/?at=master copy it and paste in appropriate folder that Revit watches for plugin registration. Tell me if works now. If not we'll find another solution.

[@tjugolapp]

''Revit cannot run external application ''...'' please contact proider..'' error, any solutions?

[@tjugolapp]

Does seem to imply that file path for the tooltip image cant be found although its were it should be.. // Create push button data and populate it with information. var TagWallLLayersBtnData = new PushButtonData("TagWallLLayerBtnData", "Tag Wall Layers", Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location, "cbb.TagWallLayersCommand") { ToolTipImage = new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"C:\Users\musa_\Documents\cbb es\tooltip320x320")), ToolTip = "This is some sample tooltip text, replace it later...." }; var TagWallLLayersBtn = panelAnnotation.AddItem(TagWallLLayersBtnData) as PushButton; TagWallLLayersBtn.LargeImage = new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"C:\Users\musa_\Documents\cbb es\tooltip32x32")); return Result.Succeeded; } in Revit it says cant find C:\users\musa_\Documents\cbb es\tooltip32x32 If i add tooltip32x32".png" (IF thats the problem) it says the same thing..

[@MarkoKoljancic]

@@tjugolapp Issue is that you are missing .png extension in file path. Try to change this lines: ToolTipImage = new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"C:\Users\musa_\Documents\cbb es\tooltip320x320.png")), TagWallLLayersBtn.LargeImage = new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"C:\Users\musa_\Documents\cbb es\tooltip32x32.png")); Notice that I added .png extension inside string. Tell if this helped. Stay good. ;)

[@tjugolapp]

@@MarkoKoljancic thanks for quick reply really appriciate it! On the subject, iv'e tried to add ''.png'' but it still doesnt find it. it still refers to the "C:\Users\musa_\Documents\cbb es\tooltip320x320" in revit. Not sure if it matters but when i make an image through photoshop it dosent name it .png it just gives it a name without the .png.

[@tjugolapp]

@@MarkoKoljancic ive solved it! I used the images from your blog! Not sure why mine wouldnt work tho.. Anyways amazing tutorial! Thanks! :)

[@sneffetsd]

I folloed and The app don't load on revit.

[@MarkoKoljancic]

Hello Deivid, should be a strait forward process. Is there some error that you can share here so I can take a look at it. Also check code repository to easier see if you made some typo. bitbucket.org/cbb_team/circles-bim-blog/src/master/

[@马特Matt]

no voice?

[@MarkoKoljancic]

No voice, but I heavily documented code and pushed it to Bitbucket repository. Also you can find LinkedIn article links in video description of almost all videos. Hope this helps.
