*Warning* - It is important you follow all these instructions for instalation to be successful. This is a very early version fo the product and the installer is not automatic.
To Install:
Download and run the installation file ArNxt.exe. Follow the installation instructions.
To Configure:
The first time you install the product, you must configure Revit to recognize nXt as a plug-in. This procedure only needs to be done once. It does not need to be repeated when you update AccuRender nXt. If you are an advanced user and would prefer to manually update you revit.ini file, see the ArRevit.ini file in the installation directory for the appropriate keywords. Otherwise, do the following:
1. Make sure Revit is not running.
2. In the folder where you installed AccuRender nXt (normally: Program Files\AccuRender nXt) locate the program called ArRevitConfig.exe.
-
For Windows XP double click on the icon to start the configuration.
-
For Vista, right click on the icon, select “Run as Administrator”, and select “Allow” when prompted by Vista security.
3. The configuration program will ask you to locate Revit.ini so it can make some modifications. It will automatically backup the revit.ini file for you just in case. The revit.ini file is normally located in “Program Files\Revit Architecture 2008\Program”. Once you find the file and select Open, you should get a message box indicating a successful configuration.
To Run: Open Revit. An additional menu item, “AccuRender” should appear.
On Vista: Revit will likely need to run as an administrator in order to load its plug-ins. You can do this temporarily, by right-clicking on the Revit icon and selecting “Run as Administrator”. You can also change any Revit shortcut to always run as an administrator by right-clicking on the shortcut, selecting Properties…, going to the Shortcut tab, clicking Advanced, and finally checking “Run as Administrator”.
