Hiding an element in the view is quite a tricky move. It is an effortless way to mask single elements, however hidden elements are hard to manage.

With this add-in, you will be able to quickly identify all the elements which are hidden in the active view. It is much faster and easier to use than the native "Reveal Hidden Elements" button.

Hidden elements will all be listed and sorted in a new window, allowing you to choose the ones you want to unhide in the view.

The Import/Export Excel allows you to synchronize data back and forth between Autodesk Revit and Excel. It also means you can alleviate the data management process by delegating tasks related to the model to team members that don’t use the model. You can export schedules as well as Revit standards to manage them in Excel. Once modified, you import the data back to Revit and your schedules or standards are going to be updated.

Benefits 

• Data management without managing the 3D model
• Better segregation of duties
