• New plugin for Revit. Warning Manager

Using

The plugin window is populated with a list of warnings in the current document. Identical warnings are combined into groups that can be expanded and collapsed to view individual warnings and their associated elements.

The checkboxes next to warning groups, individual warnings, and elements allow you to mark them for group operations.

When you hover over a warning or element, the commands available for it are displayed on the right:

– override the element's graphics in the current view. The button is inactive if the current view does not support graphics overrides (for example, in a Schedule) or if the Color lines and Color surfaces options are unchecked in the settings.

– reset the element's graphics overrides in the current view.

– select the element and show it in the center of the screen.

– exclude a warning or warning group from processing. The warnings are then removed from the warning list and added to the list of excluded warnings in the plugin settings.

– remove the element.

The following commands are located in the lower part of the plugin window:

Remove selected elements – removes all the elements checked in the list.

Isolate – creates a 3D view in which all the elements checked in the list are isolated.

Detach selected elements – detaches the checked elements associated with the "Elements are joined but do not intersect" warning.

Refresh warning list – refreshes the warning list of the current document.

Warning filter

The warning filter can be opened using the button in the upper right corner of the plugin window.

The window displays the warning types in the current document. Use the checkboxes to specify which warnings should be displayed in the main list.

Check all – checks all warnings.

Uncheck all – unchecks all warnings.

Filter out – applies the specified filter to the warning list.

Settings

General plugin settings can be opened using in the upper right corner of the window:

Color lines – when overriding the graphics of an element in the current view, changes the color of its lines to the color specified on the right.

Color surfaces – when overriding the graphics of an element in the current view, changes the color of its surfaces to the color specified on the right.

Do not remove created views on closing – keeps the 3D views created using the Isolate command after the plugin window is closed.

Reset graphics overrides on close – resets the element graphics overrides applied using the plugin when its window is closed.

Exclude warnings – allows you to hide warnings that do not need to be processed from the warning list.

A list of phrases is used to exclude warnings. The search is case-insensitive and uses partial matching. A warning is excluded if it contains at least one phrase from the list. Both individual words and complete phrases are supported. Enter a phrase in the field and click to add it to the exclusion list. To remove an individual phrase from the list, use .

You can also exclude a warning directly from the main list using the button next to an individual warning or warning group.

Clear exceptions list – removes all added phrases from the exclusion list.
