There are different ways installing reviTTools on a single computer or on a complete network environment.

Standalone installation

1. Download the latest reviTTools build from www.reviTTools.info
2. Install reviTTools on your computer. (The installer automatically updates your revit.ini file.)
3. AFTER PURCHASING, copy your key file to the reviTTools program directory. (Typically C:\Program Files\reviTTools 2009)
4. Start your Revit application and enjoy the fully functionality of reviTTools!

Network installation - Manual publishing

If you are distributing reviTTools on your network, you should publish the reviTTools program directory on each user's computer. (AFTER PURCHASING you should include the key file there.)

Additionally you have to publish the revit.ini file from the Revit program directory as well, including the part with the reviTTools section pointing to the right local location. (You find additional information about editing the revit.ini file here.)

Network installation - Server usage

Optionally you can place the reviTTools program directory on your server. (AFTER PURCHASING you should include the key file there.)

In this case you have to update and publish only the revit.ini file from the Revit program directory on the user's computer, including the part with the reviTTools section pointing to the right server location. (You find additional information about editing the revit.ini file here.)

Network installation - Security settings for .NET applications on shared drive

If you try to run reviTTools from a shared or mapped drive but the reviTTools ribbon doesn't appear in Revit please ensure the proper security settings for .NET applications. You should grant rights to use DLLs on shared or mapped drives.

1. Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Configuration

2. In the configuration window go to: Runtime Security Policy > Machine > Code Groups > All_Code

3. Right-click on All_Code and select New

Create a new code group
Name: reviTTools
Condition type: URL
URL: T:\reviTTools 2010\* OR similar
Permission set: FullTrust

3. After it restart Revit and you can access the reviTTools ribbon

Notes

.NET 2.0 is used for reviTTools 2010 and earlier
.NET 3.5 is used for reviTTools 2011
You can use CasPol.exe or other methods to modify security settings
