I have Visio 2013 Pro and Project 2010 Pro and am attempting to create a WBS diagram. I have found results for a Visio 2010 WBS modeler add-in but can not find anything for Visio 2013.

As such how would one create a WBS diagram in Visio 2013?

Villiam, Use the 32 bit WBS modeler to run on your machine. I faced the same issue using the 64 bit install, but the 32 bit version works well on 64 bit Visio. Let me know how it goes.

    This solution allowed me to get to a template with a shape element for the WBS Addin. But I do not see the WBS addin tab that provides access to the WBS Addin's functionality. An example of the functionality that I expected to find is shown at this web address:

    https://ntrajkovski.com/2012/03/12/how-to-get-wbs-work-breakdown-structure-from-ms-project-2010-to-ms-visio-2010/

    The author of that page shows how to import an mpp file into a WBS Modeler templated Visio document using the WBS Modeler tab. But I just have the tabs File, Home, Insert, Data, Process, Review, View. The add-in also does not appear in the list of Addins under Options.

    I do not think this solution works for x64 Visio 2013 apart from offering a shape.

    I am using x64 Visio 2013 Professional and x64 Project 2013 Professional.

    Although it is a bit expensive I have had success with WBS Schedule Pro as a plug-in for my MS Project.  It works bi-directionally and updates Project for changes made in the WBS tool and vice versa.  The diagrams are suitable for use in a briefing or proposal but the formatting options are a bit thin.
