Data Explorer - Tabular model review inside Revit

Data Explorer provides a table-based way to inspect model elements and their parameters without leaving Revit. It is aimed at review workflows, data control, and reusable profile-based configurations.

General Description

The add-in can load elements from the full model, the active view, or the current selection. It then lets users filter by category, define visible columns, search values, select rows in view, isolate elements, and save configurations for future reviews.

Key Features

  • Flexible source: Works on the full model, the active view, or the current selection.
  • Category filtering: Reduces the dataset to only what matters for the review.
  • Configurable columns: Shows only the parameters needed for each task.
  • Savable configurations: Supports saving, importing, exporting, and publishing table layouts.
  • Model actions: Selects or isolates elements directly from the data table.

Usage Procedure

  1. Open Data Explorer and choose the element source.
  2. Define categories and the column configuration.
  3. Load the elements and review the resulting table.
  4. Use search, selection, and isolation to inspect the model further.
  5. Save the configuration if you want to reuse that layout across projects or teams.
