New Utility to get elements on a certain level

[sfaust]

Glad you like it. FYI I discovered yesterday that the two "select and show" buttons appear to be broken, but select works fine. Will look into this further and try to issue a fixed version as soon as possible...

Ok, 'twas a relatively easy fix as I suspected, just failure to test full before posting . Here is the updated command where all should be working correctly...

Also I know MEP elements had some issues a while ago, would someone please test in MEP to see if this is resolved? I'm hoping it is but can't be sure and I don't have MEP...

Hi, had this working in 2008 i think. Could someone tell me how to install in revit2011.

thanks
Steve

PS changed the path in GetLevel.addin to correct entry for windows7.

Thanks again Steve, for this very useful tool!

You no longer need to edit the .ini file - thank goodness! Just put the two files (.addin & .dll) into the folder Steve mentioned (below), or, if you want them in a different place, edit the .addin file with the correct path. (make sure you get his most recent .zip file)

For installation, if you unzip the attached file and place the files at "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Autodesk\REVIT\Addins\2011" you should be good to go. If you want to place the .dll somewhere else you will need to edit the manifest file (an xml editor works best but notepad works fine too) to give the correct path.

Any chance for an update to allow using it in 2012? I get an error message: "... missing the required value for VendorId node."

Otherwise a great tool - helped us in many situations.
Thanks P.

Well, there have been several people asking, had no idea this was that well used . I was contemplating updating it, expanding it, and releasing it for a small fee. I would probably expand it so that it could filter elements by multiple levels, by category, or any combination. Would that be of interest to you or anyone else here? If so, what other properties/parameters would you like to have it able to filter by?

Hi Steve, thanks a lot. I think it's a great little utility but haven't used it in a long time so I cannot say what other filtering would be nice to have. I found it very valuable when we needed to delete some redundant levels but had to find what was hosted on them first so we could move those objects to another level and then perform the deletion when it was safe to do so. This is really something Revit should be able to do without a plugin (ask if we want elements to be re-hosted when a level is deleted).

[sfaust]

Thanks for the feedback Dave. That's the reason I originally wrote it, but after some disucssions with other folks I think it could be expanded (relatively) easily to include some of the other items mentioned and it would expand the usefulness quite a bit. Anyway, will look into it but probably will come out with something in the near future.
