Summary

AddinManager

Usually, when developing and debugging an addin with Navisworks API, user has to close & re-open Navisworks each time he/she modifies the addin code and wants to re-compile. But with Add-In Manager, user can modify and run the Addin. directly without closing & re-opening Navisworks again and again.This is a next branch from Revit Addin Manager to support multiple platform API for developer. With current technology, you can use Hot Reload to speed it up.But try this project it will be faster with any Addin.
