The location you have saved your .py file, is not the same as where your pyRevit extension folders are being referenced to. How are you saving the file and reloading it in Revit without transferring the file? I guess you could just work in the folder where your extension is located, but I would assume you wouldn't wanting be working on a live extension typically.

Hi Michael, if I understand your question correctly, the extension & py files should be referenced in the same file location. You're correct that it would be a live, working extension. If you're seeing anything differently in the video, definitely point it out, so I can correct the error. Thanks for reaching out!

Hi Sam, thank you for your reply.
I think I have missed something though. In the video, when you create a new project the "Location" shown in the save dialog is in C:\Users\<username>\source\repos\retail automation.
However, the plugin is stored in the pyrevit folder in C:\pyrevit\retail automation.extension......retail automation.pushbutton
How does the file in the extension folder update when I am saving it in ther other folder? I can't seem to save the project location in the extension folder as the file address is too long. Am I missing some way to link the files?
Thank you for your assistance
Michael
