⚠️ Isolate Warnings by Type

Isolate Warnings by Type performs automatic categorization and isolation of elements based on specific warning types, enabling targeted warning resolution by focusing on particular warning categories and prioritizing critical issues.
Version 1.3 | Cleaners

Overview​

While Revit's warning management typically requires working through mixed warning lists without categorization options, this tool addresses that limitation by automatically organizing warnings by type and enabling selective isolation based on specific warning messages. This allows focused resolution of particular warning categories, such as prioritizing critical warnings or addressing specific issue types like overlapping elements.

Key Features​

Usage includes:

  • Warning Type Categorization: Displays comprehensive list of all warning message types present in the model.
  • Selective Type Isolation: Choose specific warning types to isolate and focus resolution efforts.
  • Multi-Type Selection: Select multiple related warning types simultaneously for comprehensive category analysis.
  • Element Count Analysis: Shows count of elements affected by each selected warning type.
  • Priority-Based Workflow: Enables focusing on critical warnings first before addressing less severe issues.

Requirements​

Before using Isolate Warnings by Type, ensure your environment meets the following prerequisites:

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

Usage​

Understanding Standard vs. Type-Based Warning Management​

  1. Standard Revit Warning Management:
    • Navigate to Manage → Warnings to see mixed warning list
    • Manual sorting through diverse warning types
    • No systematic approach to addressing specific warning categories
  2. Type-Based Warning Management (This Tool):
    • Automatically categorizes all warnings by specific message types
    • Enables selective isolation of particular warning categories
    • Supports multi-type selection for comprehensive category analysis

Basic Warning Type Analysis Workflow​

  1. Navigate to NonicaTab Pro → Isolate Warnings by Type.
  2. Review Warning Categories: The interface displays a comprehensive list of all warning message types present in your model.
  3. Select Target Warning Types: Choose specific warning categories for focused analysis:
    • Single Type Selection: Click individual warning types to focus on specific issues
    • Multi-Type Selection: Select multiple related warning types for comprehensive category analysis
    • Priority Selection: Choose critical warnings first (e.g., overlapping elements, structural issues)

FAQ​

This tool isolates warnings based on specific warning message types (e.g., "walls overlap"), while the view-based tool isolates all warning elements visible in a particular view. Use this tool for systematic category-based resolution and the view tool for location-specific analysis.

Yes, you can select multiple warning types simultaneously to focus on related categories. For example, you might select all overlap-related warnings or all constraint-related warnings for comprehensive category analysis and resolution.

This indicates that 29 total elements in your model have the selected warning type, and 28 of those elements are visible in the current view after isolation. Some warning elements may not be visible in the current view and require navigation to appropriate views for resolution.

Start with critical warnings affecting model integrity (overlapping elements, structural issues, constraint conflicts), then address performance-impacting warnings, and finally handle documentation or display-related warnings. Focus on warnings that affect multiple elements or system-wide functionality first.

Use this tool regularly during model development to identify and systematically address recurring warning patterns. It's particularly useful during quality control reviews, before major milestones, and when developing standardized warning resolution procedures for your team.
