CAD Masters, Inc.

CAD Masters, Inc. has created Revit Quick Select (RQuick Select) to enhance the capabilities of Revit, and fill in some of the gaps of the software. RQuick Select is included as a free benefit for customers who purchase their Autodesk Subscription for Revit from CAD Masters. Or it can be purchased for $20/seat.

RQuick Select is a Quick Select command for Autodesk® Revit® to select by element type and its properties. Expand the element or family type and select the properties that you wish to filter by. Click OK and all those elements will be selected.

When in “Or” mode, the command will select all elements that match any of the properties.

When in “And” mode, the command will only select elements that match all the selected properties.

Note that if you have any elements selected when you initially run the command, there will be a prompt to only use the selected objects. Use this to select from a particular view or narrow down your selection.

Note that if you have any elements selected when you initially run the command, there will be a prompt to only use the selected objects. Use this if you are interested in selecting from a particular view, or if you need to continually narrow down your selection.

  - Brackets in the Template represent fields (dynamic text).
  - Item adds a specific property's values to the name template.
  - {NumberReplace} is a special value for that uses the Start#/Letter and Increment. Increment works with Letters too, for example if incrementing a letter by 1:
    - A->B
    - c->d
    - AA->AB
    - az->ba
  - Conflict Resolution - If the {NumberReplace} value already exists, the next value will automatically be used.
