Revit Based Installation (Ribbon/Toolbar/Location)

Description:

Greyed out options in the Addin Assistant and ribbons do not appear in Revit

Solutions:

Cause:

When opening Revit, the HydraCAD, HydraCALC and HydraLIST ribbons do not appear. 

When opening the Addin Assistant, the options to add / remove them appear greyed out. 

Solution:

The greyed out options in the Addin Assistant indicate Hydratec for Revit software is not installed, or not installed correctly.
.
If a Hydratec for Revit install is needed, log into your companies Hydratec ShareFile account and download the latest Hydratec for Revit Install file. You can distinguish the latest file by which has the highest version number. (Example: v23 vs v24, v24 being the latest)

 

If you need the permission of your company's IT department, etc. in order to install Hydratec for Revit, contact them before proceeding and downloading the file.
