Using Filter Selection to Find Objects in Revit

Want to select only one type of element in your Revit file?

Learn how to use Filters to view and select specific objects in Revit.

Quick Guide

  1. Select all elements in the Revit model.
  2. Open the Selection Filter (found under the Modify > Selection tab)
  3. Uncheck what you want to exclude from the Selection or select ‘Check None’ and then choose the categories you want to include in the selection.

Step 1 Select all elements in the Revit model

Step 2 Open the Selection Filter

Open the Selection Filter (found under the Modify > Selection tab)

Step 3 Uncheck what you want to exclude from the Selection

Uncheck what you want to exclude from the Selection or select ‘Check None’ and then choose the categories you want to include in the selection.
Selecting objects in Revit can often be tedious as the Window Selection tool often selects many objects at once. To select a particular element without selecting every object within the window, you can use the Filter selection tool.

The Filter selection tool allows you to select Revit elements by category, making it easy to select only certain objects within your project.
