Introducing a major update to the Context Filter plugin for Revit that greatly expands the filtering capabilities of elements. And in this article, we'll go into more detail about the new features

Window mode

Yes, we really wanted to make a unique plugin that works in the context of the current view, but we realize that there are drawbacks to such a solution. That's why we added the ability to use the filter in the usual window mode

Presets

When saving or modifying a preset, the Without values option is now available:

If you check this box, the parameter values will not be saved to the preset and all parameter values will be checked when the preset is applied

Search by filter

On the left side of the plugin you will find a new context By filter on view. When you go to it, you will see a drop-down list with all filters of the current document:

If you select a filter on the current view, you will search for elements by this filter, and the category tree will be filled with search results. Further on the tree you will be able to perform the usual filtering by parameter values

Search by ModPlus filters

Two more contexts Found in the view and Found in the model will allow you to process the elements found with the help of ModPlus filter:

There is a nuance with these contexts - for technical reasons they will only be available in window mode!

Same parameters

In our opinion, the most interesting novelty! Now each category has a checkbox on the right side. If you check this checkbox for more than one category, a new zone Same parameters will appear:

In this zone you will be able to see the list of parameters that occur in all selected categories. For each of these parameters you will be able to choose the values that are also found in all selected categories. Thus you will now be able to search for elements of different categories with the same value of the same parameter!

Almost all new products are developed based on requests from our users. So don't forget to join our social networks and write your wishes and feedback!

Today we released an update to the Revit plugin Model cleaning and we want to tell you a little bit about the changes.

The first thing that will catch your eye is the new Views tab:

On this tab you will see a list of views for the current document, with the exclusion of schedules. For each view, it displays information about the sheets on which the view is placed. You can delete all views except the active view. Also from this tab (and from the Schedules tab) you can open a view by double-clicking it.

On the main cleanup tab, new options await you:

Remove all unused filters - removes all filters that are not used in any view templates.

Remove all empty worksets - removes all worksets that have no elements and are available for deletion by the current user. There is an important nuance for this option - it is only available from version 2023, as the necessary methods in Revit API were added in version 2022.1, but we don't have such a minor version division.

And a small but important change that definitely needs to be mentioned: the Project Parameters and Shared Parameters tabs (formerly called Project shared parameters) have a Search function that searches for a parameter in schedules, families, Project Information, and filters. Before the update, this option only searched for the parameter in family types, but in the new version it now searches in family instances placed in the model as well.

We are pleased to introduce a new plugin for Revit - Structure to Parameter!

With this plugin you can transfer the structure (layers with materials) of multilayer types to a multiline parameter of the type in the form of a formatted numbered list. And then you can use it as you wish. For example, to create a floor explication.

The plugin allows you to set the line format for different types of layers (standard, zero thickness, variable thickness), add your own lines before and after the structure, as well as customize the numbering format!

This plugin is developed based on the technologies of Development Systems, a strategic partner of ModPlus.

The new version of the Sheet export plugin contains a lot of changes. We decided to prepare an introductory news article so that users are aware of where and what has changed.

We recommend that all users read this article, as we will focus on the algorithms for format detection.

We are pleased to present you a major update of the Dimensions on plan plugin, in which you will find: creation of dimensions for walls without considering their relationships, creation of dimensions for floors, and most importantly change - processing of elements rotated in the plan for all variants of creation!
