The Align tool allows you to align, distribute or organize selected elements, annotations, tags and text along the axis you specify. Furthermore, the Arrange feature will automatically neatly place your tags around the current view.
The Align plug-in for Autodesk® Revit® can help to save time while producing complex drawings with large sets of annotation.
Just select a few elements and the Align tool will sort them for you.
Edit AlignTag.csproj, and make sure that the following lines a correctly pointing to your Revit installation folder:
- Line 27: $(ProgramW6432)\Autodesk\Revit Preview Release\Revit.exe
- Line 37: $(ProgramW6432)\Autodesk\Revit Preview Release\Revit.exe
- Line 42: $(ProgramW6432)\Autodesk\Revit Preview Release\RevitAPI.dll
- Line 46: $(ProgramW6432)\Autodesk\Revit Preview Release\RevitAPIUI.dll
- Line 140 to 143: ...
Open the solution in Visual Studio 2017, buid it, and hit "Start" to run Revit in debug mode.
There is two ways to install this plugin in Revit:
Download the installer on the Autodesk App Exchange
You install Align just like any other Revit add-in, by copying the add-in manifest ("AlignTag.addin"), the assembly DLL ("AlignTag.dll") and the associated help file ("AlignHelp.chm") 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 Framework 4.7 and Visual Studio Community
- The Visual Studio Revit C# and VB add-in templates from The Building Coder
