Mantis Instructions.md
  1. Download the Mantis zip file from https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/157820459/Mantis.zip
  2. Unblock the Mantis zip file before extraction http://blogs.msdn.com/b/delay/p/unblockingdownloadedfile.aspx
  3. Place the extracted folder Mantis in the program files directory "C:\Program Files" - note that Mantis only works for 64 bit Windows at this stage
  4. Copy the Mantis.addin file from "C:\Program Files\Mantis\Mantis.addin" to "C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2016\Mantis.addin"
  5. Run Revit, open file, and start Mantis from the Add-Ins Ribbon
  6. To test copy the F# code from https://gist.github.com/moloneymb/4561a548a3378bc2775f into the shell. Select all text and run selected (Run button or Alt+Enter). Once the code has run a new shape should appear in 3D Views -> CSGTree
