3. Troubleshoot

Q : I cant see the Add-ins tab or Twinmotion button in Revit.
R : Make sure that PlugInTwinmotion.addin is in your Revit addins folder. You can find it at those locations :
In a non-user specific location in "application data"
o For Windows XP - C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2013\
o For Vista/Windows 7 - C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2013\
In a user specific location in "application data"
o For Windows XP - C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2013\
o For Vista/Windows 7 - C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2013\
If PlugInTwinmotion.addin is missing, you can find the original file in the plugin folder and copy it to the addins location.




Q : I can export and see the progress bar finished. But no document is written on the disk.
R : Revit needs some Twinmotion *.dll to write a .TMCont. So make sure that you have installed the latest version of Twinmotion and that you
have those *.dll in Revit.exe folder :
- KaRa.Framework.dll
- KaRa.Framework.Medias.dll
- TwinMotion.Common.dll
- TwinMotion.World.dll
- KaRa.Plugins.Contents.ItemData.dll
If they are missing, you can find them in the plugin folder and copy them. This task is automatically done if you have done the step 3 of the
installation guideline.
