Docs & troubleshooting

Everything you need to install and run Nodal. For license activation specifically, see the activation guide.

Install

Nodal (free)

  1. Get Nodal from the download page (Autodesk App Store).
  2. Close Revit, run the installer, and reopen Revit.
  3. The Nodal ribbon tab appears with the free tools.

Nodal+ (subscription)

  1. Start a trial or subscribe from your account, then download the Nodal+ installer from the download page.
  2. Run it — it upgrades an existing Nodal install in place (no need to uninstall first).
  3. Activate your license in Revit (how to activate). The Plus tools turn full-colour.

If Nodal doesn't appear after installing — Unblock it. Windows marks internet-downloaded files as blocked, which can stop Revit from loading the add-in on first run. Right-click the installer (or the blocked .dlls) → Properties → tick UnblockOK, then reopen Revit. Full steps on the activation page.

Supported Revit versions

Nodal supports Revit 2022 – 2027. The installer auto-detects the versions you have installed and pre-selects them; you can override that in the setup screen.

Troubleshooting

The Nodal tab doesn't show up

Almost always the Windows "blocked file" issue above — Unblock the install and restart Revit. If it still doesn't appear, check the log at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Nodal\logs\ and email it to us.

The Nodal+ tools are greyed out

That means there's no active Plus license on this machine — either you're on free Nodal, your trial ended, or the subscription lapsed. Start a trial or subscribe from your account, then activate.

How do I move my license to another computer?

Open your dashboard, deactivate the old machine to free the seat, then activate on the new one. (One machine per license by default.)

How do updates work?

Free Nodal updates through the Autodesk App Store automatically. Nodal+ checks for updates on startup (once a day) and offers a download link when a new version is out.

Still stuck?

Email support@nodal.design with your Revit version and (if relevant) your license key, and we'll help.
