Development Routine of a Zero Touch Node

Hi community,

Just want to know how you would test a node made from Zero Touch?

Mine is like: Build => Opens up Revit => Dynamo => (import library if it’s the first time) => Run => Close out Dynamo & Revit => Debug => Build…

It’s tedious to me to close out Dynamo & Revit every time re-building is required. What is your practice on this?

Thx~~

In visual studio, put Revit as external application when you finish build and press start to check your code Revit will pop up and work to test.

Thanks @ingenieroahmad

I don’t really mind to launch Revit myself or set it as an external app in VS to save the extra click. I’m working with a large model. Even if I simplify it into a smaller test model, very likely to miss some of details. Forcing me to that routine above, close, modify code, build and waiting model kicks in…

I don’t know if there’s any tools like Add-in Manager in Revit SDK, avoid exiting Revit every build.

I just found out there was discussion about this:
