Select elements associated with level

Select elements associated with level

Similar to the current 'select all' in view or in model.
A third option to select elements associated with level or workplane.

This would allow us to modify the level associated with those elements, quickly adjust the offset from level etc.

Additionally Revit needs to handle adjustments to level elevation changes more robustly. It isn't uncommon for elements to be deleted without warning when a level is deleted. With this feature we could remap the elements first to a new level and then safely delete the old level.

Good idea! This would be a very helpful option. In addition to the examples already give, I sometimes come across two or more levels on top of each other, at the same elevation. A user creates a new one in a section or they come in when binding a link and checking the 'include levels' option. I could use this command to quickly re-associate elements with a different level.  This command might have two user options; move to relative position and lave in place. The second option would be what happens when a link in bound and the 'include levels' is not selected... and there is no corresponding level in the host model.

This is one of my most-wanted features.  There are Add-Ins and Plugins that do this already, but they cost an arm and a leg for something that should have been included in the base software from the beginning.  Revit deleting items (Without Warning) after deleting a level is plain unacceptable.  At least give us a warning of the deletion if you're not going to implement a robust level selection feature.

We require the ability to select everything hosted to a particular level so, when required, we can isolate all these elements and re-host them to a new level.

 

At the moment when one of our levels has to be deleted, we have to go on a long, long, long and tedious hunting process to find anything hosted by such level and re-host them to a new level. Easier said than done.

 

When manually re-host the obvious groups and elements and when we think we are done, we delete the level only to find a lot of things disappearing. Close without saving, open again and continue the hunting process. Repeat multiple times. The worst thing is you are never sure when you are finished!!

I have reached the point when deleting the level doesn't prompt any warnings and I am led to believe that this time was safe to delete it without losing anything. WRONG.

I then open the file again only to find multiple elements missing!!

Having the host appear in schedules would fix this.

Sadly one can only vote once. Hopefully this will be implemented soon.
