pyRevit for Revit: Tools, Scripts & BIM Automation

Identify hosted elements via linked models in PyRevit by selecting only families placed in the linked file, enabling targeted edits and parameter changes for mechanical and electrical work.

Use add tagged elements to automatically select all items with tags and their related elements, streamlining documentation by distinguishing tagged from untagged components.

Automate the selection of elements without dimensions in Revit using PyRevit. Specify a category such as walls and quickly highlight all items lacking dimensions for efficient documenting.

Use PyRevit to select one door to view its type and category, then automatically select all elements of the same family across the project.

Select vertical or horizontal reveals with PyRevit to automatically highlight all parts where wall reveals are used, and identify where reveals have been applied to aid project checks.

Demonstrate pro MAppend and MRead techniques in PyRevit to manage IDs saved in AppData via PIM and Notepad Plus. Copy, save, and reuse IDs across Revit viewports.

Locate identical room numbers across a project with this tool, revealing all rooms with similar numbers in large BIM models and enabling quick zoom-to-select for inspection.

Use Find Monitored Revit Links to locate all elements created from a monitor in linked files, distinguish monitored items from the sketched elements, and zoom-select them for collaboration.

Learn to find reference views by selected elevation tag in Revit, see which references exist for each elevation, and copy those views into the project viewport for plans like restrooms.

Identify all views containing the selected element across the project, not just sheets, by generating a quick report from the project browser and opening each view directly.

Explore how PyRevit's match paint feature quickly replicates a chosen color across elements or areas, replacing manual painting with a fast, area-based application for interior design workflows.

Compare properties in PyRevit to analyze similarities and differences between selected elements or views. Select a source and target to reveal levels, crop regions, view ranges, and names for analysis.

Create a brick hatch by drawing a rectangle, build a pattern with Make Pattern in PyRevit, and apply it to a wall material, then adjust the scale.

Use pyRevit’s batch import files to import multiple PAT patterns into Revit, choosing drafting views or models and applying patterns via the manage tab Fill Patterns.

Explore PyRevit’s overkill tool to remove overlapped items in 2D drawings by configuring tolerance, line type, color, and layers, and choose all lines, detail lines, model lines, or room separators.

Learn to flip elements in pyrevit to reverse their direction, using flip face, flip hand, flip wall on centerline, and flip location line options, all automated by the plugin.
