11 3D View for Selected Elements

Welcome to this demonstration on Bonus Tools - 3d View for Selected Elements

3d View for Selected Elements allows you to create a 3d View with a Section Box around the currently select Elements. This is a great tool for quickly isolating Elements in 3D for inspection. Note: Add a Keyboard Shortcut to speed up the process.

This Tool is available for Revit 2012 and newer versions of Revit.

1. To run the tool first select elements in the view you wish to isolate.
