pyRevit 6.0.0 🚀

Tools Showcase
1

This release is huge. Like… really huge.
Architectural improvements, enterprise installer behavior, future Revit support, global UI translations, combobox implementation, and foundational changes. If AI had something to do with it… we won’t deny it :robot::sparkles:

Highlights :glowing_star:

:rocket: Brand New C# Loader (#2647)

Thank the man: @romangolev :backhand_index_pointing_left:

The pyRevit Loader has been fully rewritten in C# - the biggest architectural change in years:

  • Faster startup and improved stability
  • Better separation of bootstrap, runtime, and engines
  • Cleaner support for future Revit versions

Huge credit to Roman for championing this rewrite. :glowing_star:

:compass: Revit 2027 Support (#3034 + #3040)

pyRevit now supports Revit 2027 secure add-in install location before the product is even released:

  • Secure manifest locations are recognized.
  • .NET 10 migration support for Revit 2027 (#3040)
  • Future-proof installer and loader logic for upcoming Revit versions

Installer Improvements :office_building:

Enterprise environments rejoice - the installers behave in a much more predictable, IT-friendly way.

  • Fix product database to use stable GUIDs (#3059)
  • Fix Inno Setup installer GUIDs (#3058)
  • SCCM / SYSTEM: run all admin installer steps as installer account (#3051)
  • Add install scope marker for all-users installation (#3050)
  • Refactor GetRevitAddonsFilePath and add unit tests (#3049)
  • Fix PATH for correct user when installing per-user as admin (#3048)
  • Revit 2027 secure location support (#3034)

These enhancements bring the installers more in line with enterprise expectations - reliable, repeatable, and manageable.
I tested it the best, I could, but if a specific fix is needed down the line, I will prioritize and release right away (You guys better appreciate and pitch in ;p)

CLI Enhancements

  • Add install scope marker for all-users installation (#3050)
  • Update pyrevit-hosts.json cache logic (#3047)

  • Print Sheets Improvements (#3027)
  • Updated pick_point() in selection (#3021 & #2928)
  • New C# Loader bug fixes propagated (#3008)

  • Analysis bundle file issue resolved (#3009)
  • Misc cleanup and small tooling fixes (#2936, #2915)

Awesome work, everyone! Thank you so much for the continued support and great new release!

I’ve dropped early-testing findings in a github issue: [Bug]: pyrevit v6.0.0.26032 invokebutton compatibilty & other issues · Issue #3063 · pyrevitlabs/pyRevit · GitHub

Thanks again!

Have you uninstalled previous versions? @Revitalize

@ali.tehami seen my comment in the issue (you’ve attached to the wrong engine)

Hey @Jean-Marc, I’ve mainly tested the ironpython 2 engine when producing the issues, only switched engines for further testing later on, but left it on that when producing the env results :sweat_smile:

10

Can you add the right report please?

I just meant the hyperlink in that section is not working, but it’s just a minor thing
