Finder

Quickly and accurately identifies where a selected element is located in a Revit model.

📌 What is Finder?

Finder Add-in helps you quickly identify where any selected element is located in your Revit model. With a single click, it automatically analyzes spatial information without the need for manual checking or complicated workflows.

Displays an element’s Grid, Level, Room, Space, Zone, and Area with a single click.

✅ Features

✔️ Grid – Shows the grid lines based on the element’s overall geometry. Supports vertical, horizontal, and diagonal grids.

✔️ Level – Shows the name of the level the element belongs to, based on its elevation.

✔️ Room – Shows information about the architectural room containing the element, including the room name and number.

✔️ Space - Shows the MEP space where the element is located. Typically used in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design.

✔️ Zone - Shows the logical MEP zone that groups multiple spaces for system-level organization (e.g., HVAC zones).

✔️ Area – Shows the name or number of the area containing the element.

💡 Useful Tips

Exporting location data to reports

• copy and paste the location information easily.

Use for QA/QC Checklists

• Quickly check “Which space should this element belong to?”

• Identify elements missing Room or Area assignment to catch modeling errors.

Empty Space Detection

• If an element is not in any Room, Space, or Area, → it may indicate a missing spatial assignment or boundary issue.

⚠️ Notes

• Finder only supports selecting a single element at a time!

• Elements from Linked Models are not supported. Only elements in the active project file are analyzed.

• Some elements may return inaccurate location results, especially if they lack geometric placement or host references.

Due to the complexity of Revit models, Finder Add-in may not always return perfectly accurate location data for every element. This tool is continuously evolving, and your feedback plays a key role in making it better. If you encounter any issues or have suggestions, please don’t hesitate to share them with us.
