did you get a chance to select the views to render?
>>No. It seems it doesn't respond to my clicking at all. No dialog is shown.
do you have some 3D views ready?
>>Offcourse, a lot of them. Allthough when I'm in a 3D render view the menu option 'render views' is greyed out. It is only possible to select the command from al pllan view.
did you install .net framework 4.5?
>>Offcourse. It comes with revit 2014
whats the language of your revit?
>>English.
is the text "render views" grayed out?
>>Not when I'm in a 2D view. (see the attached screenshot)
also keep an eye on the BLUE text as it tells you what you have to do.
>>Blue text? I can't find any blue text. Should it be in the status bar?
Thanks for your time!

Ok thanks.
the blue text is suposed to be inside the plugin, but since you didnt get to open it there is no blue text for you.
could you please post the content of your "renderViews.addin" file?

ok, could you please try to move the renderviews folder to C:\ and update the path in the file? it might be that it needs autorization for that specific folder. If you have a D drive it would be even better.

Even with the renderviewsfolder in C:\ the dialog is not popping up. Other addins do work. Very strange.

I've replaced the fles as you said...no difference.
I even removed all other addins, still no difference.
Any clue?

Honestly? No.. Could you please check if the event viewer is showing something? maybe it displays an error message.
what are your system specs?

The only thing I recall is when I first copied the RenderViews.addin to the addins folder I recieved the message that I could not load the addin because the path wat incorrect. After this message I chaged the path in the RenderViews.addin file.
Could this be the cause of the problems? Maybe the path is stored somewhere else?
I scanned the eventlog. No messages.
System specs:
HP Z230 workstation, i7, 8gb

I have an idea of what COULD be the problem. please make a search on your PC for the files "RevitAPI.dll" and "RevitAPIUI.dll" and post the path to these files here. they should be located in the revit install folder.
also please check this out (i found it on the web)
"Many of the 2012 family of products use version 4 of the .NET Framework. .NET 4.0 implements slightly more stringent security than prior versions of the framework: if a DLL is suspected as having been downloaded from the web – as is clearly the case with our “Plugins of the Month” – the .NET 4.0 runtime will treat that DLL as if it has been loaded from a network share. And as many of you have found out, from trying to load DLLs from network shares, this results in a reduced set of privileges on the local machine, which can often result in a load error such as this one:
Code:
Cannot load assembly. Error details: System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly...
The solution is straightforward: you simply need to “Unblock” the DLL by right-clicking on it in Explorer and selecting “Properties” and “Unblock”. It’s actually better to do this for the .ZIP prior to extracting the contents, as this makes sure all files contained in the archive are unblocked."

Sorry...I missed that. Unblocking did the trick. You should add that to the OP of this thread.
The dialog is showing. I'll try the rest tonight...
Thanks for your help. I'll post my findings tomorrow.
