Any way to show all voids in project?

Is there a way to show all voids in project that were created as in place families?

Once they are created and used for cutting, there is practically no way of knowing where and how many of them exist. Especially if you have to work on someone else's project. And don't know where they placed them. Or on which category. And they have no consistent naming convention. Or none at all.

Haven't got a revit on hand, but maybe try the project browser and look for families where the type is the same name, but where the family may have a number behind it (if copied).

 

Other way select all and with the filter select, may have a specific name, but maybe difficult if used in groups.

I use my own addins to identify in place models (We use almost no in-place models), so don't know how their name/type name is displayed.

What type of voids did you place? Could you share a screenshot?

Or did you place this one?

In place families. Extrusions mainly. Different categories.
