Nina for Revit

Most of this work was done on Sunday mornings with Nina.

Installation

Run the file Nina.msi provided in this repository.

Overview

A collection of tiny tools to work faster in Revit. Most of these commands are availables in Revit but as options in second windows. As they are actions that the users repeats very often, the goal is to be able to access them quickly, using keyboard shorcuts.

Development

This project is developed using Revit API Extension. Both projects feed back to each other. Every feature on Revit API Extension is (normally) a pattern extracted from Nina.

Tools

1. Type up and Type down

Change selected types quickly. The order of the Types is the same you see in the Type Selector UI.

2. View Range (+) and View Range (-)

Modify the view range in the active view.

3. WallType Selector by dimension

This tool allows users to select WallTypes by drawing a dimension. The dimension will be compared with every WallType Width, by selecting the one that is most similar.

4. Show / Hide Point Clouds

5. Isolate Point Clouds

6. Point Cloud Color Mode

This tool allow users modify the view range in the active view.

7. Show / Hide RVT Links

8. Show / Hide DWG Links

10. Wall Location Line

11. Show / Hide Section Box

Recommendation

For correct use, use these commands as keyboard shorcuts. This is my personal configuration:

Panel	Tool	Shortcut
Type Selector	Type-up	tt
Type Selector	Type-down	yy
Type Selector	View Range (+)	qq
Type Selector	View Range (-)	ww
Type Selector	WallType by Dimension	dd
Point Clouds	Show Hide Point Clouds	hp
Point Clouds	Isolate Point Clouds	ip
Point Clouds	Color Mode: Set Normals	nn
Links	Show Hide RVT Links	hk
Links	Show Hide RVT Links	hc
Views	Open Multiple View(s)	om
Walls	Location Line: Set Finish Face: Exterior	fe
Walls	Location Line: Set Finish Face: Interior	fi

Before using Open Multiple View(s) as shorcut you have to click some empty space on the Ribbon bar.
