Highlights

  • All versions of Revit, 2025 up and down, are supported, YES!
    It has been the case for 6 months, but we were greedy and tried to fix as much as we could before releasing. Huge thanks to @dosymep
    and @sanzoghenzo :pray:
  • New Iron Python Engines:
    • Default is 2.7.12
    • 3.4.2 available (expect bugs as this version dropped some of the modules used by some of the tools)
  • Cpython is still not fully supported, the task at hand is way too big for our current manpower
  • New Code Signing Certificate with Azure Trusted Signing

Kudos.
Worth crossposting over on the DynamoBIM site…(?)

I won’t but you can if you feel like it.

Great work!

In a bittersweet way the release delays also encouraged me to learn C# and migrate my companies tooling from pyrevit to inhouse addins, so an awkward thanks there also.

A lot of hard work and no doubt learning went into this process. Well done.

RE Dynamo forums i would only post it if the dyn capabilities of pyrevit are functional currently. We struggle a bit with taking some of the traffic there that should be coming to pyrevit forums lately.

which one, the one on this page does.
Oh I see, the links in the release description.
Fixed
Please do try again

That’s good, right ;p
Kind of the way forward for any computational designer (to give it a name)

We could not put any energy into this one. This will be something that will be resolved in the coming weeks eventually, if so, this will be a dedicated release.
I got access to the wealth of knowledge of autodesk devs through ADN not long ago. I will try to leverage it as much as possible to get it fixed.

A valuable contact for dynamo via python and/or c# in netcore8 is likely John Pierson. He has a similar project called Relay which runs Dynamo scripts from command buttons:

He recently joined the dynamo team officially.

I’m going to try and install PyRevit new version now. The previous version didn’t work in Revit 2025. I hope this one will ! Fingers crossed !

13

Unfortunately it still doesn’t work.

Revit 2025 crashes. I will open a thread hopefully someone can help me

It works for many of us.
You may want to check revit’s journal files

15

I really hope we can make it work too. We are baffled as to why it just refuses to work on our Revit 2025. Tested on 3 machines in our company, Revit 2025 crashes everytime, even when disabling all other plugins. We currently have 2 IT people looking into it + our Revit guy + myself. I really hope and pray the gods that we can make it work ! I’ll send the journal files tomorrow

is the crash only related to 2025? or on every version? If it is a company-wide I have a feeling that it may have something to do with security platforms such as Sentinel-one

Yep, hard crash = probably sentinel one
