    01 What it is

    A ribbon from inside /slantis

    Magic Tools is the pyRevit ribbon the /slantis team works with in Revit. This release opens a selection of those tools to anyone, under an MIT license: model cleanup, selection and documentation, one button each.

    02 The tools

    What is in the release

    Each one sits on the tab once the extension is installed.

      03 Install

      Three steps

      On Windows, with Revit and pyRevit on the same machine. Installed with the command, the extension updates itself through pyRevit. Installed from the ZIP, it does not.

      1. Install pyRevit

        Magic Tools runs on pyRevit, a free add-in for Revit. Get the installer from the pyRevit releases and run it.

      2. Add the extension

        Open PowerShell or Command Prompt and run the pyRevit CLI. This install receives updates through pyRevit's Update button.

        >

        Prefer a ZIP? Download magic-tools.zip from the latest release and unzip it into the folder pyRevit loads extensions from, for example %APPDATA%\pyRevit\Extensions, so you end up with a MagicTools.extension folder. A ZIP install does not update itself.

      3. Reload pyRevit

        Click Reload on the pyRevit tab, or restart Revit. The tab appears in the ribbon.
