Is there a Lasso Selection Tool of some sort in this program or an add-on?

[Anonymous]

What the title says...I am looking for a Revit version of AutoCAD'S lasso selection tool. Can someone please point em in the right direction? Also, if there isn't one out there can someone or the Dev's please create one? It is really asinine to manually select or tab select a hundred different object to move one wall 2 inches. Thank you.

No there is no lasso selection tool.

Not sure what you are trying to do that you need to select so many items to move a wall. But probably there are other ways/tools (or combinations of tools) to get to where you need to be.

If you think the lasso selection tool would be  a useful addition to Revit (I personally never missed it) post your idea in the IDEAS section

And basically i am trying to move all of the walls throughout a building to fix a measurement error  at 2 different points not in the same axis. Also this is helpful if your client wants to remove 1 ft of space on 1 corner of a building but not touch a specific room or corridor. Thank you again for your response.

Crossing Window.

Try Polygon Select:

Haven't tried it, but it sounds like what you want. Apparently a Window (not Crossing) polygon is used.

Yeah, who would do that?

I use multiple windows, crossing or not, with SHIFT to keep adding to the selection set.
