Select all does not select masses.

Hitting ctrl+A to select all or dragging out a selection box around a bunch of masses will not select any of the masses. It selects everything else, but not the masses. Clicking on them individually selects them, but this is often cumbersome and/or tedious, inaccurate, prone to error. having to hold ctrl and click on masses one by one. 

 

Why can't I select masses with a selection box or select all, and/or how do I fix it so that I can?

 

 

I am using Revit 2015 at the moment.

Hi there.

 

To select all the elements, one don`t press ctrl + A. The command is SA (acronym for Select All).

And yes, you can make a selection box and select all of your masses. Maybe, one of your masses has some element distant that you can`t see. There`s another thing you can do: select one of your masses and hit IC (acronym for Isolate Category). Then, all the elements except your masses will be hidden.

oh yeah, sorry. ctrl+A doesn't do anything. scratch that part

 

Anyway SA selects all instances in the entire project, but I don't want that. I want to select all instances in that view (which it won't let me do: it's grayed out in the context menu), or all in some arbitrary area of my choosing via dragging out a selection box, like I can do for everything except masses. IC hides everything else, which I didn't know about and is useful--thanks--but it still doesn't let me select masses except 1 by 1.

 

I believe you're saying that masses are supposed to be selected with selection boxes, and that there's just some problem with my project. If so, what could be causing this? How do I fix it?

Hi.

 

When you produce In-place masses, you can't use the tool Select all instances because you don't have more that one instance per type of masses. Remember the concept: masses modeled in loco are made as a single element. You can't use the Select all instances with masses even when you have a bunch of them on your project.

Infortunately, the Select all instances is only available with loadable masses. So, you'll have to use masses as a different file (.rfa) and load in your project for use this option.

They are loadable masses, though. I have some placed from loaded families, which allow me to select all in project but not all in view, and some modeled in place, and none of them can be selected with a selection box.

Try adjusting the view range, make sure the element you are trying to select is within the active range- in between top and bottom ranges.

 

Best of Luck,
