Autodesk Revit plugin project organised into multiple solution files that target versions 2020 - 2025.

• C# 12
• .NET Framework 4.8
• .NET 8

Before you can build this project, you will need to install .NET, depending upon the solution file you are building. If you haven't already installed these frameworks, you can do so by visiting the following:

• .NET Framework 4.8
• .NET 8

After installing the necessary frameworks, clone this repository to your local machine and navigate to the project directory.

We recommend JetBrains Rider as preferred IDE, since it has outstanding .NET support. If you don't have Rider installed, you can download it from here.

1. Open JetBrains Rider
2. Click on File -> Open and choose the solution file that you want to open.
3. After the solution loads, you can build it by clicking on Build -> Build Solution.

Also, you can use Visual Studio. If you don't have Visual Studio installed, download it from here.

1. Open Visual Studio
2. Click on File -> Open -> Project/Solution and locate your solution file to open.
3. Upon loading the solution, build it via Build -> Build Solution.

To build the project for all versions, create the installer and bundle, the project uses NUKE

To execute your NUKE build locally, you can follow these steps:

1. Install NUKE as a global tool. First, make sure you have NUKE installed as a global tool. You can install it using dotnet CLI:

   dotnet tool install Nuke.GlobalTool --global

   You only need to do this once on your machine.

2. Navigate to your project directory. Open a terminal / command prompt and navigate to your project's root directory.

3. Run the build. Once you have navigated to your project's root directory, you can run the NUKE build by calling:

   Compile:

   nuke

   Create installer:

   nuke CreateInstaller

   Create installer and bundle:

   nuke CreateInstaller CreateBundle

   This command will execute the NUKE build defined in your project.

Publishing the release, generating the installer and bundle, is performed automatically on GitHub.

To execute your NUKE build on GitHub, you can follow these steps:

1. Merge all your commits into the main / master branch.
2. Navigate to the Build/Build.Configuration.cs file.
3. Increase the Version value.
4. Make a commit.
5. Push your changes to GitHub, everything will happen automatically, and you can follow the progress in the Actions section of the repository page.
