​
Update the Plugin

When a new version of the plugin is released, you’ll be notified automatically:
  • An update popup will appear when you launch Revit
  • Follow the on-screen prompts to download and install the latest version
  • No need to uninstall the previous version first — the update will replace it
We recommend always updating to the latest version to ensure compatibility and access to new features.

​
Uninstall the Plugin

You can uninstall the Acelab plugin using either of these methods:

​
Option 1: Windows Control Panel

  1. Open Windows Settings > Apps > Apps & features (or Control Panel > Programs and Features)
  2. Search for Acelab in the list of installed programs
  3. Click on it and select Uninstall
  4. Follow the prompts to complete the removal

​
Option 2: Re-run the Installer

  1. Run the Acelab plugin installer (.msi file) again
  2. Select the Remove option when prompted
  3. Follow the prompts to complete the removal
After uninstalling, the Acelab tab will no longer appear in your Revit toolbar the next time you launch Revit. Note: Uninstalling the plugin does not affect your Acelab account, projects, or any data in the Materials Hub. Your product mappings and schedule data remain intact on the platform.
