//there is no need to restart revit to install an addin, ther is no need to find a special directly for addin as opposed to macros (they are the same thing)
//use relative path in the addin and there is no need to ever move it
//use InvokeMember to run rapid iteration, because everytime you want to use the btton you have to restart revit which is annoying expective if you have a massive project open, because previously that is a secrete becaues usually a restart of revit is required if a assembly changed
//any change to the revit db requires transactions
//then i am going to sequence you through the normal range or error messages which revit throws up, and how to deal with them
//this isn't project specfic to but always for rapid iteration /* */
//IExternalCommand modess less commands need to be external evetns
//put crashes inside try catch statements to avoid crashes, i will demonstartate that now
//use addin file
//keep actions commit stateents
