Pyrevit: pyrevit tab does not show up

[sharkmullet]

I have Revit 2017 installed with PyRevit. I just installed Revit and Revit LT 2021 versions. The PyRevit tab doesn't show up in the 2021 versions. Can I not have PyRevit installed in both 2017 and 2021?

[eirannejad]

I don't think Revit LT loads third-party addons

[sharkmullet]

Ok, but it is also not loading in full Revit 2021

[eirannejad]

Okay then. Please open a command prompt, run pyrevit env and share the results here so I can take a look.

Seems like you have another installation of pyRevit under C:\ProgramData\pyRevit\pyRevit-v45\pyRevit

Open a command prompt and run:

pyrevit attach master 277 --installed

This should attach pyRevit to all your installed Revit versions. If you see any more errors send me a pyrevit env again so I can see the changes

[sharkmullet]

Ok great. This will not disable my revit 2017 pyrevit will it?

It will. Use this command instead for Revit 2021

pyrevit attach master 277 2021

this will attach to 2021 only

Or run these:

# registers the old clone you have
pyrevit clones add oldpyrevit "C:\ProgramData\pyRevit\pyRevit-v45\pyRevit"
# attaches the new installation to all Revits
pyrevit attach master 277 --installed
# reattaches the old clone to 2017
pyrevit attach oldpyrevit 277 2017

[sharkmullet]

I ran the first one. It works! Thank you

Can I re-open this?  I cannot print, the dialog looks like below.  Should there be a list of drawings? The index is not empty. I tried repairing pyrevit with a fresh download, but it removed the tab again. After running the CMD from before, it loads, but I still cannot print. I need to have pyrevit 2021 & 2017 because I have projects in both, but if I can't I will update the 2017 version.

I have the same issue. I installed the latest in Revit 2021 and it does not show as a tab in the menu bar. I tried the instruction above and still not show. Is there another way to make it work and show up in Revit 2021?
I uninstalled and deleted the pyrevit folder. And installed fresh.
I also tried installing it in the main C folder & created PyRevit folder.
Any suggestion, is much appreciated.
Thanks.

@sharkmullet Would you mind exporting your sheet index to a text file and share that here? (Export using the Revit export to CSV option)

[eirannejad]

@Rocky-EA Would you mind running pyrevit env in your command line and share the report please?

[Rocky-EA]

@eirannejad I found out that for some reason I'm missing "pyrevit.addin" in the C:\Users\name\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2021 folder. I copied one from my other laptop and use that. I just modified the drive letter & name.
But it works in pyRevit_4.7.6, which is what the laptop has. So I used that install for now. The 4.8 beta3, I'm getting errors. So I uninstalled that and installed 4.7.6. I'm afraid to install 4.8 as it might mess up my system and couldnt make pyrevit work.
I'm a BIM manager and have zero programming knowledge.

[eirannejad]

@Rocky-EA You can use the pyrevit attach option of the pyRevit CLI to create the necessary .addin files and attach pyRevit to your installed Revit versions

See this for more info on the CLI: https://www.notion.so/pyRevit-CLI-c50de95259114db795db5bd3f19f8e2a

Thank you so much. Just want to express my sincere appreciation.

[eirannejad]

@Rocky-EA @sharkmullet So I just updated the hosts file information (has information about all revit versions) on the repo. Please open a command prompt and run pyrevit update. This will grab the most recent versions of these info files and places them under %APPDATA%/pyRevit/Cache. Then you can run pyrevit revits --installed to list the installed Revits. If it shows the correct Revit versions listed, then it is finding the data correctly.

Now you can re-attach pyRevit to all installed Revit versions using pyrevit attach master 277 --installed

Let me know if this works.

And like magic pyRevit has returned to my Revit. Thank you for your assistance.
