Other Ways To Install

Most people should use the Windows installer or the Mac steps on the Install page. These are for installing on Windows without the installer, or for developers who want to follow the latest changes with Git.

Windows Without The Installer

Same as the Mac steps
Copy one folder into Fusion’s add-ins folder.

Copy The Folder By Hand

  1. Download BuildBook.zip from the latest release.
  2. Right-click the zip → Extract All… → Extract.
  3. Press Windows + R, paste the folder below and press Enter.
  4. Copy the extracted BuildBook folder into that window. Copy the folder that has BuildBook.py directly inside it, not a folder around it.
  5. Restart Fusion.
%APPDATA%\Autodesk\Autodesk Fusion 360\API\AddIns

To update: copy the new folder over the old one. To uninstall: delete the folder.

For Developers: Install With Git
