Selection

Choose Category for a category-wide set, Type for matching types, or Parameters for a data-based filter. Set view/project scope before picking the sample, then review selected count and Properties before editing.

Evidence scope

Verification limits are stated for each tool. Dialog captures establish visible controls; created or edited elements require separate checks in the model, Properties and saved RVT.

Logo, Feedback and YouTube actions are explained in the common dialog footer.

Select Same Category​

Choose All Levels / same Level and Entire Project / View, then pick sample elements as prompted. The command selects instances of matching categories within that scope; a category can contain several Families/Types. Verify with Revit Filter and Properties. Selection does not modify geometry. Runtime selection remains pending.

Select Same Type​

Choose the Level restriction and Entire Project / View, then sample elements. Matching Type is narrower than matching Category. Inspect resulting IDs/types and compare a second type on a copy. Selected count is not automatically the whole-model total. Runtime remains unverified.

Find Grid And Level​

Choose Grid / Level, select a listed name and click Select. Lists are name-sorted. The command shows and selects the existing datum; it does not create or rename it. Check project/type if the list is empty. Verify ID/name in Properties. The Level radio may share the Grid label in source/localization, so inspect the actual list. Runtime remains unverified.

Select By Parameters​

Choose All in Project / All in Active View, category, parameter-name search and value filters; check the values to include. Select selects results, Hide hides them and Isolate isolates them. These actions do not rewrite parameters to make elements match.

Test a known value, inspect selection count and Properties. Restore with Reveal Hidden Elements or Reset Temporary Hide/Isolate as appropriate; whole-model element count should remain unchanged. Runtime actions remain pending.
