Overview

A collection of tiny tools to work faster in Revit. Most of these commands are availables in Revit but as options in second windows. As they are actions that the users repeats very often, the goal is to be able to access them quickly, using keyboard shorcuts.

Development

This project is developed using Revit API Extension. Both projects feed back to each other. Every feature on Revit API Extension is (normally) a pattern extracted from Nina.

Tools

1. Type up and Type down

Change selected types quickly. The order of the Types is the same you see in the Type Selector UI.

2. View Range (+) and View Range (-)

Modify the view range in the active view.

3. WallType Selector by dimension

This tool allows users to select WallTypes by drawing a dimension. The dimension will be compared with every WallType Width, by selecting the one that is most similar.

4. Show / Hide Point Clouds

Show or Hide point clouds in the current view.

5. Isolate Point Clouds

Isolate point clouds in the current view.

6. Point Cloud Color Mode

This tool allow users modify the view range in the active view.

7. Show / Hide RVT Links

Show or Hide RVT links in the current view.

8. Show / Hide DWG Links

Show or Hide DWG links in the current view.

9. Open Multiple View(s)

Open one or multiple views doing the selection from the Project Browser.

10. Wall Location Line

This tool allow users modify the location line on selected walls.

Recommendation

For correct use, use these commands as keyboard shorcuts. This is my personal configuration:

Panel Tool Shortcut
Type Selector Type-up tt
Type Selector Type-down yy
Type Selector View Range (+) qq
Type Selector View Range (-) ww
Type Selector WallType by Dimension dd
Point Clouds Show Hide Point Clouds hp
Point Clouds Isolate Point Clouds ip
Point Clouds Color Mode: Set Normals nn
Links Show Hide RVT Links hk
Links Show Hide RVT Links hc
Views Open Multiple View(s) om
Walls Location Line: Set Finish Face: Exterior fe
Walls Location Line: Set Finish Face: Interior fi

Before using Open Multiple View(s) as shorcut you have to click some empty space on the Ribbon bar.
