QuickSelect - Fast parameter-based selection

QuickSelect speeds up element selection in Revit by using the parameters of a reference element. It is designed to quickly find comparable elements without building complex filters manually.

General Description

The add-in lets users inspect an element, review its parameters, and mark which values should be used as selection criteria. It then applies those rules to select elements from the same category or, if desired, only those visible in the active view.

Key Features

• Reference element: Starts from a real model element to build the filter.
• Parameter-based selection: Uses parameter names and values as matching rules.
• Same category filter: Can restrict the search to the source element category.
• Active view scope: Limits the result to elements visible in the current view.
• Favorite parameters: Helps reuse common query fields more efficiently.

Usage Procedure

1. Open QuickSelect and pick a model element as the reference.
2. Review the available parameters and check the ones that should drive the filter.
3. Enable Same category or Active view only when needed.
4. Run Select to collect the elements that match the rules.
5. Review the selected count and refine the filter if needed.
