👓 Isolate Warnings in Selected View

Isolate Warnings in Selected View performs automatic detection and isolation of elements with warnings within a specific view, enabling focused warning resolution and improving model quality and Revit performance.
Version 1.3 | Cleaners

Overview​

While Revit's warning management typically requires navigating through the Review Warnings dialog and manually locating problematic elements throughout the model, this tool addresses that limitation by automatically isolating all elements with warnings within a selected view. This enables focused visual identification and resolution of warning-generating elements, significantly improving model quality assessment and warning resolution efficiency.

Key Features​

Usage includes:

  • View-Specific Warning Isolation: Isolates only elements with warnings that are visible in the selected view.
  • Flexible View Selection: Choose specific views from dropdown menu or use current active view.
  • Warning Coverage Analysis: Displays count of warning elements found in view versus total project warnings.
  • Visual Focus: Hides non-warning elements to provide clear focus on problematic elements.
  • Warning Detail Integration: Works seamlessly with "Show Related Warnings" for detailed warning information.

Requirements​

Before using Isolate Warnings in Selected View, ensure your environment meets the following prerequisites:

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

Usage​

Understanding Standard vs. Enhanced Warning Management​

  1. Standard Revit Warning Management:
    • Navigate to Manage → Warnings to see warning list
    • Manually locate each warning element throughout the model
    • Switch between different views to find warning elements
    • Time-consuming process to visually identify problematic elements
    • Difficult to focus on warnings within specific views or areas
  2. Enhanced Warning Management (This Tool):
    • Automatically isolates all warning elements within selected view
    • Provides immediate visual focus on problematic elements
    • Shows warning coverage analysis for the selected view
    • Streamlines warning resolution workflow with visual isolation

Basic Warning Isolation Workflow​

  1. Navigate to NonicaTab Pro → Isolate Warnings in Selected View.
  2. Select Target View: Choose your preferred workflow option:
    • Dropdown Selection: Select specific view from the available views list
    • Current View: Leave dropdown empty to use currently active view
    • Optimal View Selection: Use 3D views or comprehensive floor plans for maximum warning element visibility
  3. Execute Isolation: Click to run the warning isolation process.

Warning Analysis and Results​

  1. Review Isolation Results:
    • Warning Coverage: View count display (e.g., "74 elements out of 115 were actually in this view")
    • Visual Isolation: Only elements with warnings remain visible in the view
    • Coverage Assessment: Understand what percentage of total project warnings are visible in current view
  2. Warning Element Identification:
    • Visual Inspection: Review all visible isolated elements for warning characteristics
    • Element Selection: Click on individual warning elements for detailed analysis
    • Warning Categories: Identify different types of warnings present in the view

FAQ​

The Review Warnings dialog shows a list of warnings but requires manual navigation to find each element. This tool automatically isolates and visually highlights all warning elements within a specific view, providing immediate visual focus and eliminating the need to search for problematic elements throughout the model.

This indicates that your project has 115 total elements with warnings, and 74 of those warning elements are visible in the selected view. This helps you understand how many warnings you can address in the current view versus those requiring different views or locations.

3D views typically work best as they can display the maximum number of model elements simultaneously, giving you the highest warning element coverage. However, specific floor plans or discipline views may be better for focused warning resolution in particular areas or systems.

Yes, after isolation you can click on individual warning elements and use Revit's "Show Related Warnings" feature to see specific warning messages and related elements. The tool integrates seamlessly with Revit's existing warning detail functionality.

"Isolate Warnings by Type" is a complementary tool that isolates warnings based on warning categories rather than view location. Use both tools together for comprehensive warning management - this tool for view-specific focus and the type tool for category-specific analysis.
