When I want to of all sizes to select 150(The method ,Right click, then select all the Instances) All pipe sizes selected.

In case I needed to choose the size of 150.

So I of Schedule This problem was resolved.

Now my question is that

I believe that you are essentially correct.

To Select All Instances in Project

If you wish to select all instances of a specific diameter of Pipe, create a Schedule View with appropriate Filters (i.e. Diameter, Type), disable "Itemize Every Instance", click on the one line of data, and click "Highlight in Model" on the Ribbon. That will select all elements that fit the Schedule's Filters.

To Select All Instance in View

Another method would be to use a View Filter - set the Filter rules to "Diameter does not equal X" where X is the desired Size. Now this View Filter can exist harmlessly in any View, and you simply go to V/G Overrides and disable the visibility for that View Filter to hide all of the Pipes you don't want to see, and then turn it back on afterwards. You can create a 3D View that shows the entire Project and apply this method to the entire project.

I have attached a short video demonstrating these methods. As mentioned in another thread, you are having issues with the Pipe Diameter not displaying on the Pipe Schedule, but this should work regardless of that.

Hello,

I work with Revit MEP and I have a suggestion. It would be nice if it was possible to 'Select All Instances' contain within a room and have the option of selecting all instances within more than one room. This will speed up the process of circuiting multiple devices.

Thanks,
