🔄 Refresh Revit Buttons

Efficiently manage and update your Dynamo script configurations across multiple toolbar profiles with intelligent refresh capabilities that detect script changes, manage file relocations, and provide organized toolbar management for maintenance.
Available at NonicaTab Pro and Free.

Overview​

Managing multiple Dynamo scripts across different toolbar profiles can become complex when scripts are updated, relocated, or renamed. The Refresh Revit Buttons feature addresses this challenge by providing comprehensive toolbar management capabilities including profile-based organization (Default, Beta, Gamma), bulk script refreshing, and intelligent change detection. This enables efficient maintenance of large script libraries while ensuring all buttons remain synchronized with their underlying script files, eliminating the need for manual reconfiguration of individual buttons after script modifications.

Key Capabilities​

This feature provides:

  • Profile-Based Organization: Organize scripts across multiple toolbar profiles (Default, Beta, Gamma) with 12 buttons each for task-specific workflows.
  • Bulk Script Refresh: Refresh all Dynamo scripts across all buttons simultaneously with intelligent status detection and reporting.
  • Toolbar Customization: Rename toolbar profiles with support for line breaks and custom naming conventions for better organization.
  • Change Detection: Automatically detect script modifications, file relocations, and missing files with clear status indicators.

Requirements​

Before using this feature, ensure your environment meets the following prerequisites:

 Autodesk Revit: From version 2020 to newest.

FAQ​

NonicaTab Pro provides 3 toolbar profiles: Default, Beta, and Gamma. Each profile contains 12 individual buttons, giving you a total of 36 customizable button slots for organizing your scripts by task, project type, or workflow requirements. NonicaTab free only has 12 buttons.

There are three status indicators: "Refreshed" means the Dynamo script has been successfully updated; "Not Refreshed" indicates the button was imported rather than set up directly (covered in import/export videos); and "Not Found" occurs when script files have been relocated, renamed, or deleted since the button was configured.

The Refresh All feature scans every configured button across all toolbar profiles, detects changes in the underlying Dynamo script files, and updates the button configurations accordingly. This eliminates the need to manually reconfigure each button individually when you've modified multiple scripts.

Yes, you can refresh scripts individually from the settings panel. This is useful when you've only modified specific scripts or want to address particular "Not Found" status issues without affecting other working configurations.

"Not Found" status indicates the original script file has been moved, renamed, or deleted. You can resolve this by either relocating the script file to its original location, updating the button configuration to point to the new file location, or setting up a new script if the original is permanently unavailable.
