Better Element ID Error Export

Better Element ID Error Export

We all know that annoying message that tells us 10, 50 or 1000 elements need to addressed when certain actions are performed. Such as deleting or replacing a level in the model. When we export the HTML error message one must perform some extensive data query in order to extract only the element ids (separated by a semi colon) for use in the selection and isolation in the model using "Select by ID". It would be nice if Revit provide the element IDs in a more formated way rather than the messy HTML format.

Totally agree. The export could be in a CSV format, but should definitely include the IDs in their own column next to the other columns. It's worthless as it is now.

 

How about some better improvements to the Error dialog in general. Like cancel and select elements included in the error? Or, click a button on the error that says Copy element IDs to clipboard (and don't implement this, and have them formatted in a way that we CAN'T paste that into the "Select elements by ID" tool).
