Selection Plus

Revit is a powerful software that allows architects and engineers to create detailed 3D models of buildings and structures. However, navigating through complex models and selecting specific elements can sometimes be a tedious task. This is where the Selection Plus plugin comes in. Developed by Autodesk®, Selection Plus is a handy tool that enhances the selection capabilities of Revit, allowing users to select elements based on specific parameter values. Let's dive deeper into the features and benefits of this plugin.

Enhanced Selection Capabilities

Revit already provides a command to select all instances of a specific type in a view or project. However, Selection Plus takes it a step further by allowing users to select elements based on the values of any parameter in a base selected element, regardless of their category or family type. For example, if you select a door as the base element and specify the Material parameter as a selection filter, Selection Plus will select all doors, walls, and railings that share the same material value as the base door. This feature significantly streamlines the selection process, saving users valuable time and effort.

Moreover, users can choose any available parameter, whether it is an instance or type parameter, to get the exact selection they desire for their specific project requirements. This flexibility empowers users to customize their selection criteria and obtain accurate results for the task at hand.

Powerful Filtering Options

Selection Plus offers users the ability to filter elements within groups. This is particularly useful when editing element values outside of groups, as selecting all instances of a type would include elements both inside and outside of groups, rendering parameters read-only. By allowing users to include or exclude matched elements within groups, Selection Plus enables seamless editing and modification of element values, enhancing productivity and flexibility.

Furthermore, Selection Plus goes beyond family types and allows users to select matched elements that do not have type families, such as rooms or lines. This broadens the scope of selection possibilities, making the plugin a versatile tool for various Revit workflows.

Free 30-Day Trial and Licensing

To ensure users can fully experience the benefits of Selection Plus, the plugin offers a free 30-day trial. During this trial period, users have the opportunity to explore all the features and evaluate the plugin's compatibility with their specific project requirements. To continue using the plugin after the trial, users can purchase it from the store using the secure PayPal payment method.

Moreover, to seamlessly transition from the trial to a licensed version, users can request a valid license by clicking on the "License request" button available on the Selection Plus app window. By filling in the necessary details and submitting the request, users will receive their valid license within four working days. It is important to note that users should purchase the app and request the license on or before the 26th day of the trial period to avoid any interruption in using the plugin once the trial ends.

Conclusion

Selection Plus is undoubtedly a must-have plugin for any Revit user looking to enhance their selection capabilities.
