Hide multiple selected Grid or Level bubbles with a click

Hide multiple selected Grid or Level bubbles with a click

Please allow hide / unhide multiple Grid or Level bubbles on the selected Grids or Levels. Right now we have to select one by one and click " Hide Bubble" and that is hideous process for our projects where we have 30 to  50 grids in each direction.

Also the "Properties" pallete  and "Match properties" command should be aware of that too.

Here is the tool you are looking for ....

Only for 2017 / 2018

But this should be native to revit.

Simple, select multiple and have a tick box that turns it off.

Hi,

 

When editing grids/levels in views, sometimes the head appears on the wrong side and takes a solid 5 minutes just to turn off the head on the wrong side and then turn the head on on the right side.  I know there is an option in the "edit type" menu but that will change for the whole family in the entire project and not just the view.

 

It would be really time-saving and handy to have an option in the properties something like "grid heads side", for example, and have a drop down menu where we can toggle the side the grid head is on. Something to mass control grid and level heads per view would be excellent.

 

Thanks,

Lucas

Very much agreed.

@bosborne Wow. Your name is popular... But could you post links to your solutions? Do they work in Dependent Views?

@sasha.crotty Is that API supposed to work for Dependent Views? It seems like it doesn't...

There's an add-in which accomplishes most of the above (ReviTea Grid/Level 2018) but doesn't work in Dependent Views. Similar for Dynamo (see Nov '18 post): Grid bubble on/off

Do I need to create a separate Idea for the API to work for Dependent Views?

At the Moment we can toggle to have them on a type basis, but once we get down to each view you can click on each grid individually and click the bubble to turn it off or on if in that view you need to make specific changes.

 

What id like to see is the ability to select multiple grids and click that box to turn off or on the grid bubble for all selected at once. On large projects with specific Cropped views where we have 50+ view sheets, manipulating the view specific grid bubbles is an incredibly time-consuming process. This change would save Hours of work every month!

Agreed, this has been a frustrating issue which we have had to deal with as well.  This should apply to both grids and levels.

 

Also the ability to select multiple grids or levels in a view and switch them to either 2D/3D.

YES!

The ReviTea tools are helpful, but due to limitations in the API have a less than ideal interface - would be nice to have this built-in (and they're free, so Autodesk can't make the excuse that they're taking away someone's income stream, like they do with colored tabs).

An option to "copy" elbows between different views would also be nice

Edit: Propagate Extents does the trick

Status changed to: Gathering Support

In an effort to consolidate threads, we are updating this thread to Gathering Support. We are continuing to evaluate where this request falls into our roadmap and will provide an update when we have made a decision.

The Propagate Extents tool can help with that, but it has its own issues - views have to be un-cropped and then re-cropped.

 

It would be so nice to select several grids or levels and toggle the bubbles on/off and the 2D/3D all in one go rather than one by one, sheet by sheet.

To be able to select multiple grid lines, and maybe by right-click or in properties pallete, to select which grid head (end 1/end 2) to turn on/off.

It would be good if there was a way of changing multiple grids bubble's in one selection rather than have to select each individual grid and tick the tick box.

@Anonymous  which pyRevit tool helps turn off multiple bubbles?

To be able to Toggle Individual or Multiple Grid Bubbles at Alternate Ends.

(It is possible to do in a Dynamo Script etc., but would be useful in the native Revit environment).

Has there been any progress on this?

Would be nice to have.

This was first requested in 2016. Still under review?
