IDs provides an easy way to view and select element IDs within both Revit models and linked models. The add-in appears as a side panel, which can be toggled on or off using the IDs button. Each time an element is selected, its corresponding ID is displayed in the panel. IDs can also be manually entered into the text box for element selection, and a history feature tracks recent actions for convenient reference.
View Element IDs:
Automatically displays the IDs of selected elements in Revit and linked models. Multiple IDs are separated by a semicolon (;).
Select by ID:
Enter IDs manually (separated by space, comma, or semicolon) and select the corresponding elements by clicking the Select button. IDs are unified with ; after selection.
Copy IDs: Copy the current list of IDs to the clipboard using the Copy button.
Element Count: Shows the count of currently selected elements each time a selection is made.
History Tracking: Logs up to 20 recent actions, allowing users to view and select elements from previous ID entries.
Linked Model Support:
Displays selection of element IDs from linked models in the format
(Linked Model ID) Element ID; Element ID; ...
If an ID does not exist in the current model, only existing IDs will be selected.
While the add-in displays the IDs of linked model elements when selected, users cannot select linked model elements by manually entering their IDs.
Duplicate IDs are excluded from the selection, which may result in a different element count than the number of IDs entered.
In Revit 2022, displaying the IDs of elements within linked models is not supported.
