DFrame module 02 · Data
Selections
for Revit.
Create reusable Revit element selections with category and parameter filters for faster modelling, checking and automation workflows.
Included in the complete DFrame toolsetProblem and approach
Why Selections exists.
Selections makes complex Revit element sets easier to find and reuse. Combine categories, parameter values and model context to isolate exactly the elements needed for a task without repeating the same manual selection process.
Saved selection logic can support checking, editing and downstream DFrame workflows. Teams gain a predictable way to work with recurring groups of elements across views and project stages.
Input to result
Selections, step by step.
Three decisions that move the task from source information to a result ready for review.
- 1.
Define categories and filter conditions
- 2.
Preview the matching Revit elements
- 3.
Save and reuse the selection in later tasks
Controls
What the module lets you inspect.
Faster access to the right model elements and fewer selection mistakes during repetitive Revit operations.
Filter elements by category and parameter
Combine Revit categories with parameter conditions to isolate the exact elements required for a check, edit or coordination task.
Save frequently used selection sets
Store recurring filter logic as a named set so teams do not have to rebuild complex selections during every review.
Reuse selections across views and models
Apply the same selection definition in different views and supported DFrame workflows while keeping the matching criteria transparent.
