revit-addin-publishing
Configure an Autodesk Revit add-in project to copy the add-in, .addin manifest to the local Revit or a `bin/publish` folder, using the Nice3point.Revit.Sdk publish targets. USE FOR: setting up a project for publishing, bundling extra content into the output, and relying on per-version manifest patching. DO NOT USE FOR: launching and debugging the add-in from the IDE (use revit-addin-debugging), dependency isolation or repacking (use revit-dependency-isolation), or packaging a versioned App Store bundle (use revit-addin-bundle).

# Revit Add-in Publishing
The `Nice3point.Revit.Sdk` targets copy the built add-in and its `.addin` manifest to one of two destinations and patch the manifest per Revit version.
`DeployAddin` copies into the local Revit add-ins folder (`%AppData%\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\<version>`); the running Revit loads the add-in on its next start.
`PublishAddin` copies into `bin\publish` (like `dotnet publish`) for distribution or the installer.
Enable them only in the project that owns the `.addin` manifest.
## When to use
- Setting up a project to copy its add-in to the local Revit for testing, or to `bin/publish` for distribution.
- Bundling extra content (families, resources) into the add-in output.
## Workflow
### Step 1: Deploy or publish
```xml
<DeployAddin>true</DeployAddin> <!-- to %AppData%\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\<version> -->
<PublishAddin>true</PublishAddin> <!-- to bin\publish for distribution -->
```
`DeployAddin` implies publishing.
Override the targets with `AddinDeployDir` / `AddinPublishDir`.
### Step 2: Include extra content
```xml
<Content Include="Families\**" PublishDirectory="Families" CopyToPublishDirectory="PreserveNewest" />
```
### Step 3: Rely on manifest patching
The SDK removes the `ManifestSettings` node for Revit versions older than 2027 during publish.
### Step 4: Verify
Build, and confirm the add-in and manifest land in the deploy or publish folder and that Revit loads the add-in.
## Validation
- [ ] Deploy/publish is enabled only in the project holding the `.addin` manifest.
- [ ] Extra content is declared with `PublishDirectory` / `CopyToPublishDirectory`.
- [ ] The manifest works across supported years via SDK patching.
## Common Pitfalls
| Pitfall | Correct approach |
|-------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Enabling deploy in a class-library project with no `.addin` | Enable it only in the manifest-owning project. |
| Copying families with a raw `<None>` item | Use `<Content … PublishDirectory=… CopyToPublishDirectory=… />`. |
| Hand-editing the manifest per Revit version | Let the SDK patch `ManifestSettings` on publish. |
