Overview

App description

Advanced Selection is a fast element‑filtering tool for Revit. Choose any model category, build one or more parameter‑based rules (combined with AND/OR), and instantly act on the matching elements. The Parameter and Value drop‑downs are populated automatically from the elements in your model, so you can filter on real data without typing anything. Work across the whole model or limit the scope to the current view. Once filtered, you can select the elements, temporarily isolate them, or override their projection‑line color, surface color, and surface fill pattern to highlight them visually for QA, coordination, and presentation.

Features

What it does

Advanced Selection replaces tedious manual selection and one‑by‑one filtering. Instead of hunting through schedules or picking elements by hand, you define what you want once — for example, all Doors with a specific Fire Rating, or all Walls wider than 200 mm — and the plugin finds them and acts on them: selecting, isolating, or color‑coding them for quick visual review, quality checks, and coordination.

How to use

Usage tutorial

  1. 1. Open a project view, then go to the **BIM Hive** tab → **Selection Tools** → **Advanced Selection**.
  2. 2. Choose a **Category** (e.g., Doors).
  3. 3. Tick **Current View Only** to limit the scope, or untick it to search the whole model.
  4. 4. Add one or more **Filter Rules**: pick a **Parameter**, an **Operator** (Equals / Contains / Greater Than / Less Than) and a **Value**. Use the **Logic** column (AND/OR) to combine rules.
  5. 5. Choose an **Action**: Select, Isolate in View, or Override Color.
  6. 6. *(Override Color only)* Pick a projection line color, surface color, and/or surface fill pattern, then click **Apply**.
  7. 7. Click **Run** — a summary shows how many elements matched.
