Version Compatibility

Previous versions of the VARevitLink may work with newer version of Autodesk Revit by following the steps below. Note that because the VARevitLink works as an AddIn within Revit, there is no guarantee this will work in all circumstances and with all versions of the VARevitLink.

  1. Install the VARevitLink that works with the version of VisualAnalysis you have installed and would like to use. For example, if you are using VA 22.0, install the VARevitLink 22.0.
    • Example - If you are using VA 22.0, install the VARevitLink 22.0 on your computer.
    • The VARevitLink can be downloaded from www.iesweb.com/downloads, and is listed under the Supplementary Downloads midway down the page.
  2. Navigate to the directory: C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Revit\Addins, and select a folder for a version of Revit that the VARevitLink is said to work with.
    • Example - If you are using VA 22.0, select C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2024
  3. Copy the VARevitLinkXX.addin file from the directory above.
    • Example - Copy the VARevitLink22.addin file within the C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2024 directory.
  4. Paste the .addin file into the folder of the version of Revit you would like to use with your version of VisualAnalysis.
    • Example - If you would like to use VARevitLink 22.0 with Revit 2023, paste the VARevitLink22.addin file within the C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2023 directory.
