Button	Function
Collision check	Opens the dialog Collision check, which allows you to parameterize and execute collision checks.
Model diagnosis	Opens the Model diagnosis dialog, in which you can search specifically for errors, problems and possibilities for optimization in your model.
Void Manager	Opens the LINEAR Void Manager, which enables the communication of void proposals from the Void planning workflow and thus ensures almost seamless collaboration between the various project participants. Project participants who do not have a LINEAR license can download the LINEAR Void Manager free of charge from the download page https://www.linear.eu/de/software/loesungen-fuer-autodesk-revit/linear-void-manager/and then install it. After installation, the Revit Void Manager is available on the Additional modules tab of the LINEAR Ribbon.
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.
LoG assistant	This function is only available in the family editor. Opens the Create subcategories for LoG dialog, where you can generate interference spaces and create other subcategories for control of element visibility.

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.
Working Section in front of wall	Activates the function that allows you to create a working section in front of a wall. The working section is opened in a separate section view.
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.
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.
