Advanced Selection Tool
Filter, select, isolate, and color‑code Revit elements by parameter rules. Advanced Selection lets you pick a category, build AND/OR parameter filters, then select the matches, isolate them in the view, or apply color an
Plugin overview
Advanced Selection is a fast element-filtering tool for Revit. Pick any model category, build one or more parameter-based rules (combined with AND/OR), and instantly act on the matching elements - select them, isolate them in the view, or override their colour and fill pattern. The Parameter and Value lists are filled automatically from the elements in your model, so you filter on real data without typing anything.
How to use this plugin
- Download Advanced Selection from the BIM Hive marketplace and run the installer; choose your Revit version (2024 or 2025) and finish setup.
- Open Revit and load your project.
- Go to the BIM Hive tab > Selection Tools > Advanced Selection.
- Choose a Category (for example, Doors).
- Tick 'Current View Only' to limit the scope, or untick it to search the whole model.
- Add one or more Filter Rules: pick a Parameter, an Operator (Equals / Contains / Greater Than / Less Than) and a Value; combine rules with AND/OR.
- Choose an Action: Select, Isolate in View, or Override Color.
- For Override Color, pick a line colour, surface colour and/or fill pattern, then click Apply.
- Click Run - a summary shows how many elements matched.
