Can't find an element in Revit

Can't find an element in Revit

One of the most common problems Revit® users have is that one or more elements are mysteriously missing in a specific view. This is due to the fact that the complexity of the software allows a wide array of options to control object visibility, to the point that tracking down an element may become a daunting and time consuming task.

To aid our clients, we developed Holmes, a plugin for Revit® that will perform automated tests to help you find your missing elements with one click!

Using PSED to Manage Property Sets in Civil3D

Using PSED to Manage Property Sets in Civil3D

In Civil3D, Property Sets allow you to create and assign extended data properties to your objects. A property set definition specifies the characteristics of a group of properties that can be associated with an object.

Managing these properties can be a daunting task, as there’s no built-in tool that allows for custom filtering and searching.

For this reason, at Camilion we designed PSED: a Property Set Editor to manage all the data in your project in a precise and efficient way.

In this blog post, we´ll discuss a real case scenario where we use PSED to detect drafting errors and filter objects according to specific criteria.

Duplicate sheets with Revit®

So probably you have tried to right-click on a sheet in your project browser and selected Duplicate View, only to find bitter disappointment in the fact that the three duplicate buttons are grayed out. 🙁
Revit® unfortunately, doesn’t have a default tool for sheet duplication.

Well, fear no more. At Camilion we’ve developed a plugin that can duplicate 1 or 100 sheets in a couple of clicks.

Manage Graphic Overrides by Element with Revit (old post)

Remember the last time you opened a project just to find it plagued with manual graphic overrides? The kind where someone had to repeat right-click > Override Graphics in View > By Element a gazillion times.

You, the experienced project manager, know that this tool is to be used only sparingly; for it can become a nightmare to spot out these types of overrides.
Luckily, we at Camilion have seen our share of the dreary By Element overrides and thus developed a plugin to manage them in a couple of clicks…

Revit: Creating legends automatically with LeGen

Revit: Creating legends automatically with LeGen

So you have your Autodesk® Revit® file ready to start the documentation phase and you’ve (hopefully) created your visual overrides by setting up your view filters in your views to nicely override whatever elements you need to override.

At this point, after creating your sheets and dragging your views inside, you probably need some type of legend to explain what all those colours and patterns represent…
enter: LeGen.

Using Revit Filters to create legend plans

Using Revit Filters to create legend plans

Remember the last time you selected a bunch of elements, right-clicked and chose Override Graphics in View > By Element?
Well… except for very specific exceptions, that kind of override should be your last resource (shame on you).

It’s much better to use filters to create graphical overrides on views for the power and flexibility they allow you to leverage. So, what exactly are filters and how can you apply them to work better and go home earlier? Read on…
