About this app
Introduction
If you are a Revit user looking to streamline your workflow and quickly select elements in your model that intersect with a specific element, the Select Intersecting Elements plugin is a must-have tool. This plugin simplifies the selection process by allowing you to easily identify and select elements that physically intersect with a chosen element, saving you time and effort.
Key Features
The Select Intersecting Elements plugin offers a range of useful features that enhance your Revit experience. By running the command and selecting an element, you can instantly select all elements that physically intersect with the chosen element. This tool is particularly useful for identifying elements that share a 3D geometry intersection, ensuring that your selections are accurate and efficient.
While some categories, such as Structural Connections, cannot be selected based on physical intersection, the plugin provides an alternative option. If any elements have a bounding box intersection with the selected element, the tool gives you the choice to select all elements that share a bounding box intersection. This flexibility ensures that you can identify and select a wide range of elements in your model with ease.
Enhanced Workflow
With the Select Intersecting Elements plugin, you can significantly improve your workflow by quickly and accurately selecting elements that intersect with a specific element. By automating the selection process, this tool allows you to focus on your design work without the hassle of manually identifying intersecting elements. Whether you are working on architectural, structural, or MEP projects, this plugin is a valuable addition to your Revit toolkit.
