How To Use Ideate XRay for Revit

How Can I Select a Revit Invisible Element?

Ideate XRay for Revit requires the selection of both an invisible element and a Target View. Sometimes selecting an invisible element can be challenging. There are three ways to select a hidden element:

Using Revit, select the element in another view where it is visible and then launch Ideate XRay.

Launch Ideate XRay, then use the Selection Wizard for element-specific tools to assist in making the selection. Read: Select the Missing Revit Element with Ideate XRay.

Within Ideate XRay, use the Select by Crossing Method.

Select by Crossing

The Select by Crossing button enables the user to make a crossing rectangle on a Revit view as a way of selecting elements that may be hidden. This method works best if the rectangle is made as small as possible. It will return a list of elements, both visible and invisible that have a bounding box that exists at least partially within the rectangle. The results are relative to the plane of the view.

Elements that are not supported by this method include: Grids, Levels and View References (elevation, section and callout markers). Use the Selection Wizard for assistance in selecting these types of elements.
