📋 Find Sheets

Find Sheets provides efficient detection and removal of empty sheets in Revit projects, eliminating the tedious manual process of identifying and deleting unused sheets one by one.
Version 1.5 | Cleaners

Overview​

Empty sheets accumulate in Revit projects over time, cluttering the project browser and making navigation more difficult. While Revit requires manual identification of empty sheets (with no views in it) and individual deletion, this tool streamlines the process by automatically detecting all empty sheets and enabling bulk deletion in just a few clicks, keeping your models clean and organized.

Key Features​

Usage includes:

  • Automatic Empty Sheet Detection: Instantly identifies all sheets without content in your project.
  • Comprehensive Sheet List: Displays all sheets in the model with filtering and selection options.
  • Bulk Selection Tools: Check all empty sheets, all sheets, or none with single-click options.
  • One-Click Deletion: Remove all selected empty sheets simultaneously for efficient project cleanup.

Requirements​

Before using Find Sheets, ensure your environment meets the following prerequisites:

 Autodesk Revit: From version 2020 to newest.
 NonicaTab: NonicaTab Pro.

Understanding Manual vs. Automated Sheet Management​

  1. Manual Empty Sheet Detection:
    • Navigate through Project Browser to identify sheets
    • Look for sheets without plus sign indicator (empty sheets)
    • Select each empty sheet individually
    • Delete sheets one by one - tedious for projects with many sheets
  2. Automated Sheet Management (This Tool):
    • Automatically detects all empty sheets in project
    • Provides comprehensive sheet list with filtering options
    • Enables bulk selection and deletion in seconds
    • Maintains clean and organized project structure

Basic Empty Sheet Cleanup Workflow​

  1. Navigate to NonicaTab Pro → Find Sheets.
  2. Review Sheet List: Tool displays comprehensive list of all sheets in your model.
  3. Select Target Sheets: Choose sheets for deletion using the selection options below.

Sheet Selection and Filtering​

  1. Selection Options:
    • Check All Empty: Automatically select only empty sheets for safe deletion
    • Check All: Select all sheets in project (use with caution)
    • Check None: Clear all selections for refined targeting
    • Individual Selection: Manually select specific sheets for targeted cleanup
  2. Filtering Capabilities: Filter sheet list by various criteria for easier navigation and selection.

FAQ​

The tool automatically detects sheets that contain no views. This eliminates the need to manually scan through the project browser to identify and select sheets.

Generally yes, but use caution. Empty sheets typically serve no purpose in deliverables, but some teams keep empty template sheets for future use. Review the selected sheets before deletion to ensure you're not removing sheets intended for future content.

No, sheet deletion is permanent once executed and the project is saved. The tool shows you exactly which sheets will be deleted before you confirm, so review the selection carefully. Consider saving a backup before major sheet cleanup operations.

The tool only deletes selected sheets, so it won't affect sheet numbers of non-selected sheets with content. However, if you have planned numbering sequences that include empty sheets, you may need to adjust your numbering strategy after cleanup.

Yes, the tool includes filtering capabilities that allow you to narrow down the sheet list before selection. This helps when you want to target specific sheet types or ranges while preserving others that might be empty but intentionally kept for future use.
