# Visual Studio Revit Add-in Templates
[](http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)
The Visual Studio Revit add-in wizards provide Visual Studio templates for generating C# and VB .NET Revit add-ins.
They enable the instantaneous and automatic generation, installation and debugging of a new Revit add-in skeleton with one single click.
Ample documentation is provided in [The Building Coder](http://thebuildingcoder.typepad.com) topic group
on [Visual Studio Revit add-in templates](http://thebuildingcoder.typepad.com/blog/about-the-author.html#5.20).
## Installation
Installation can be accomplished by cloning this repository and running the installer batch
file [install.bat](install.bat) as described in The Building Coder discussion of
the [Revit Add-In Wizards on GitHub and Installer](http://thebuildingcoder.typepad.com/blog/2015/08/revit-add-in-wizard-github-installer.html).
```
install.bat [Visual Studio Year - 2022, 2019, 2017, 2015]
```
### User Project Template Location
Ensure that the destination path specified in `install.bat` matches your user project template location.
You can change the known location for user templates in Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions > Locations, cf.,
[how to locate and organize project and item templates](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/how-to-locate-and-organize-project-and-item-templates?source=recommendations&view=vs-2022):
## Alternatives
Several alternative Revit add-in templates have been published.
They are all more complex and full-fledged than this minimalistic one, taking advantage of .NET configuration functionality, providing support for multiple Revit releases, WPF, languages, build systems, installers, Autodesk AppStore support, etc.
Here are some of them:
