RevitLookup ✨1000 Stars on GitHub

We're proud to share that RevitLookup has achieved 1000 stars on GitHub! This milestone is a testament to its value and the dedication of our community. Thank you for helping us reach this landmark!

To celebrate it, we are excited to introduce a major new feature in this release that will transform your interaction with models, offering a deeper understanding of the geometric objects that constitute your models.

Introducing Geometry Visualization

This release includes comprehensive Geometry Visualization capabilities, enabling users to visualize various geometry objects directly within the RevitLookup interface.

In Revit, geometry is at the core of every model. Whether you are dealing with simple shapes or intricate structures, having the ability to visualize geometric elements can significantly improve your workflow, analysis and understanding of the BIM.

To illustrate the power of these visualization capabilities, here's a glimpse of the geometric objects you can now explore directly within RevitLookup:

Geometry	Illustration
Mesh
Face
Solid
Curve
Edge
BoundingBox
XYZ
