Be careful with the local folder where you are trying to clone the repository, you should do the command in a directory where you have write permissions.
As an alternative, you can download the full repository source code in a ZIP file using the “Download ZIP” button you can see in the screenshot.
Thanks for your reply. I managed to download the package and open rhino.inside\Autodesk\Revit\RhinoInside.Revit.sln
However, I encounter another problem while setting it up in the visual studio. The website says 2. Set the Solution Configuration drop-down according the Revit version you have installed. This will properly link the correct Revit API libraries to the project.
I’m using Revit 2018. I tried to change it in the dropdown menu, but it seems that it doesn’t detect autodesk api. Do you know where I can find the API reference?
The project is configured assuming you have Revit installed on the same device you are compiling.
By default, Revit 2018 use to be installed at C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit 2018
Thanks. I think that I’m close to make it work. I managed to open grasshopper through Revit, however, it gives me a warning message when I put a point in the grasshopper canvas and then it freezes forever.
Then in the Visual Studio menu go to Debug > Start Debugging. Revit will start in debug mode.
Once in Revit, do again what is causing the problem, in this case inserting a point in the Grasshopper canvas.
When the message you shared above appears, press Retry, Visual Studio will pop up and you will be able to see the problem in context. Please do a screenshot of VisualStudio in this state and share it here.
Also, please try to stay updated, I mean download again the source code to test always the latest version. If both have the same source code it will be easier.
I keep getting a list of errors similar to this when trying to build the project
Error occurred while restoring NuGet packages: ‘$(RevitVersion).*’ is not a valid version string.

The first thing to check is your Visual Studio version.
We are using what Microsoft calls Floating Versions to reference NuGet packages.
This allows us to specify just major version and accept any minor version in for some project Package References.
What Visual Studio version are you using?
I think this is supported since version 15.7 of Visual Studio.
A second thing to check is your project configuration names.
$(RevitVersion) is defined as 2017, 2018 or 2019 depending on your project configuration name.
There was a bug.
Grasshopper preview bounding boxes were computed too late when Revit Views are cropped.
It’s fixed, if you update your repository copy you should stop observing this on any Revit version.
