In the last 3 Posts, we explained what is API, some information about UIApplication, and finally What is IExternalCommand. in this post we will explain how to install IDE.

Install an IDE

Integrated Development Environment (IDE), is a program that assist developers to generate different types of applications. There are many IDE available in the market where some are free. I will use Visual Studio 2019 community Version (which is free of use, but limited to some features).

IDE Pre Setup Configurations:

Depending on your Revit version you are using to develop your plugins, it is deemed necessary to install the right package of .NET versions or higher version. 

Revit 2018 : NET 4.5.2
Revit 2019 : NET 4.7
Revit 2020 : NET 4.7

I will be using Revit 2020, Windows 10.

Download Visiual Studio IDE from here
