The file is not downloadable yet

The plugin file has not been uploaded anywhere yet. This page is ready - once the file exists, the button above turns itself on with no change to the page code.

Installation steps

  1. Close Revit first

    Revit reads its plugin list once, at startup. If Revit is still open, a file you copy now will not be picked up.

  2. Copy the plugin folder

    Open the downloaded file and copy the Ansta folder, contents and all, somewhere permanent - not Downloads, which tends to get emptied.

  3. Copy the .addin file

    Copy Ansta.addin into the Revit add-ins folder. Paste the path below into the Windows Explorer address bar and the folder opens straight away.

    %AppData%\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2025
  4. Point the .addin at the right file

    Open Ansta.addin in Notepad. The Assembly line must hold the full path to Ansta.dll on your machine. Get it wrong and Revit says nothing - the Ansta tab simply never appears.

    <Assembly>C:\...\Ansta\Ansta.dll</Assembly>
    <AddInId>8D83A6F7-1A41-47E5-84F2-2371F392D850</AddInId>
  5. Start Revit

    The Ansta tab appears at the far right, after the Modify tab.

How to be sure it worked

  • A tab called Ansta sits at the far right of the ribbon.
  • It holds 8 panels: Auto Dimension, Smart Annotation, Door & Window, Sheets, Publish, Compliance, Visual, and Info.
  • Open Info > Tentang. The version number shown there must match the version number on this page.

If the Ansta tab does not appear

  • Revit was not closed and reopened after the files were copied.
  • The Assembly line inside Ansta.addin points at the wrong path - check it character by character.
  • Ansta.addin landed in the folder for a different Revit year. The year in the path must match the Revit you run.
  • Windows blocked the downloaded file: right-click Ansta.dll > Properties > tick Unblock > OK.
