Isolate Warnings

Focus on specific Revit warnings by isolating their related elements. Pick warning groups, preview details, select/color elements, isolate to review, and restore when done.

Isolate Warnings with two warnings selected on the left and details grid status shown as Active; Isolate and color actions available
  1. Choose warnings. In Select Warnings to Isolate (left), expand a warning group (e.g., "Highlighted walls overlap…"). Select one or more individual warnings (e.g., Warning 1, Warning 2).
  2. Review details. The Warning Details grid (right) lists each item with:
    • Color swatch for the element highlight
    • Warning No., Category, Family, Type, ID
    • Status (Active or Resolved)
  3. Select elements. Click Select to select the listed elements in Revit for quick navigation and inspection.
  4. Apply colors. Click Apply Colors to color-code the elements by their warning, helping you visually audit issues.
  5. Isolate. Click Isolate to temporarily isolate only the elements associated with the selected warnings in the active view.
  6. Interact and resolve while the tool is open. You can keep this window active and work directly in your Revit model:
    • Edit or modify the selected elements (e.g., adjust geometry, fix joins, change parameters) to resolve the issue.
    • As you resolve a warning, the tool updates the Status in the Warning Details grid to Resolved. If needed, use Select again to re-evaluate or Isolate to focus remaining items.
    • Resolved items remain visible for traceability; you can unselect or end isolation to continue with other warnings.
  7. End isolation. Click End Isolation to restore the view when finished.
