Productivity

Button

Function

Transfer view properties

Opens the dialog Transfer view properties, which allows you to transfer the settings of the current view to other views of the same type.

Batch conversion

Opens the dialog Batch conversion, which allows you to convert Revit- families of an older version to the current version.

Quick access

Button

Function

Horizontal working section

Activates the function that allows you to create a horizontal working section in a separate section view.

Vertical working section

Activates the function that allows you to create a vertical working section in a separate section view.

Turn components by 90 degrees

Activates the function that allows you to turn components by 90 degrees.

The command rotates a component 90 degrees on the Z axis. Pipe or duct accessories with precisely two opposite connections are rotated on the described axis. In cases of pipe or duct accessories with more than 2 connections, an attempt is made to derive the axis of rotation from the associated connections.

3D-Selection box

Activates the function that allows you to highlight selected elements in a 3D view in order to view a spatial situation more closely and to design it.

Remove 3D-selection box

Activates the function that allows you to remove a 3D selection frame.

Opens the Properties dialog in which you can display and edit properties of spaces, zones or levels.

Interoperability

Button

Function

Data Transfer to Design 3D

Opens the Save As dialog where you can specify the file location and name for the d3d file to be saved.

In d3d files, the data of MEP components and pipe or duct network topologies of a model or part of a model are stored. You can then import the pipe and duct networks into AutoCAD using LINEAR Design 3D Pipe&Power. For import into AutoCAD, use the function Revit MEP Import ....

IFC Import table

Allows editing the settings for IFC import in a configuration table.

Classification

Opens the dialog Classification table where you can assign classification parameters to parts and model elements.

Excel Export/Excel Import

Exports component / quantity lists to an Excel file where you can easily edit the data of these lists. With the Excel import you can subsequently re-import these lists and assign the changed data to the MEP rooms.
