Clockwork 1.0.3 not showing in packages library in Revit 2016

Packages

@Andreas_Dieckmann I’ve recently updated Clockwork to 1.0.3 but I realised today that this package isn’t coming up in my packages library in Revit 2016 however it’s showing up in Revit 2017. Dynamo version is 1.3.1

Wondering if v1.0.3 is not compatible with Revit 2016?

Did you download it from the package manager within Dynamo or as a zip from the packages site? If its the latter then it is possible you have saved it in a different location than where your packages path is pointing to.

I initially downloaded them within Dynamo and then copy pasted it to a location on server. Then edited xml file to point to the path on server. But how is this relevant to it showing up in Revit 2017 but not in Revit 2016?

I only made mention of the possibility of Dynamo not pointing to the correct path because it seemed as if it was the most substantial explanation, since I have no issues with using Clockwork 1.x appearing in both 2016 and 2018. I recommend checking your package paths within a Dynamo window itself opened in Revit 2016 (in Settings, I believe… unfortunately not on a computer with Dynamo at the moment) rather than modifying the .xml. Particularly because you’re pathing to a server location.

Can you post your package path settings?

This could be due to the settings for the various Dynamo versions on your system. If you download an updated version via sandbox but not plugin it can sometimes only show the package at the previous location in the other version. It’s crazy complicated but basically if you ensure it looks to only one location for the packages and that the list there is clean, then a lot of these issues clear up really quickly.

Thanks @jacob.small, I’ve upgraded Dynamo by downloading exe file and installing it on windows & the list of my packages paths only contain two folders.

This is a screenshot of my Dynamo in Revit 2016. As you see the package doesn’t exist in Library but shows in list of installed packages.
