There is two ways to install this plugin:
Download the installer on the Autodesk App Exchange
You install bimsync® just like any other Revit add-in, by copying the add-in manifest ("bimsync.addin"), the assembly DLL ("bimsync.dll"), its dependancy (here, "RestSharp.dll") and the associated help files ("bimsyncHelp.html" and the "bimsyncHelp_Files" folder) to the Revit Add-Ins folder (%APPDATA%\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2018).
If you specify the full DLL pathname in the add-in manifest, it can also be located elsewhere. However, this DLL, its dependanties and help files must be locted in the same folder.
Futhermore, the Visual Studio solution contain all the necessary post-build scripts to copy these files into appropriates folders.
- .NET and Visual Studio Community
- RestSharp - The .NET REST client
- The Visual Studio Revit C# and VB add-in templates from The Building Coder
