3. © 2012 Autodesk Creating a Company standard – REVIT Ribbon Autodesk Revit software is a robust application with a feature-rich API. There are currently hundreds of add-ins available for all of the verticals of Autodesk Revit. As a result, it becomes a challenge to deploy a standardized set of add-ins to all of your users across the organization. Using the API, we will show how you can use an add-in to help deploy, administer, and maintain one set of add-ins that can be applied or deployed to all your Revit stations across your organization.
