Welcome to this demonstration on Bonus Tools - 3d View for Selected Elements
3d View for Selected Elements allows you to create a 3d View with a Section Box around the currently select Elements. This is a great tool for quickly isolating Elements in 3D for inspection. Note: Add a Keyboard Shortcut to speed up the process.
This Tool is available for Revit 2012 and newer versions of Revit.
-
To run the tool first select elements in the view you wish to isolate.

-
Then navigate to the Bonus Tools Tab and select 3d View for Selected Elements.


-
The 3d View for Selected Elements dialog will appear.

-
Enter the margin around the Elements to extend the Section Box by and whether you would like to use the last 3D View - this helps reduce the number of temporary 3D Views.
-
Ok.
-
The new 3D View will open and you will see the 3D geometry within a Section Box for your quick exploration.

-
If you look within the Project Browser you will find the new View, called 3D View with a sequential number starting at 1.
