One of the standout features of the Select Similar plugin is its ability to select multiple Autodesk Revit categories.

A Game Changer: Select Types
One feature that sets Select Similar apart from other selection plugins is its Select Types functionality. Unlike the standard Select All Instances command, which limits you to selecting only one type, Select Types allows you to select multiple types. This is a game changer, especially when working on complex projects with various types of elements. With Select Types, you have more flexibility and control over your selections, ultimately improving your overall workflow.
Another remarkable aspect of Select Similar is its ability to select instances based on specific parameters. By using the Select Instances feature, you can choose to only select instances that exactly match your current selection. This level of precision ensures that you select only the elements you need, making your modeling process more accurate and efficient.
What truly sets Select Similar apart is its compatibility with traditionally "unselectable" elements. Whether you need to select lines, masking regions, revision clouds, or other built-in categories, this plugin allows you to effortlessly select them. Furthermore, it works seamlessly with normal loadable families, making it a versatile tool that can be used in various situations.

Conveniently Located Ribbon Button
One of the most convenient aspects of Select Similar is its placement on the Modify tab of the ribbon. This means that the ribbon button is always easily accessible when you have elements selected. No need to navigate through multiple menus - the plugin is right where you need it, allowing for a seamless and intuitive user experience.
