Getting Started – Creating and Executing a Rule

This step-by-step guide walks you through creating your first rule and executing it. As an example, we will set the Comments field for all walls in the entire model.

Prerequisite: The MultiPushTool is installed and a Revit project is open.

Step 1 – Open the Tool

Click the MultiPushTool button in the Ribbon under b.i.m.m Tools › MultiPushTool. The main window opens.

Step 2 – Create a New Rule

Click "New Rule" in the toolbar. A new empty row appears in the rule table.

New Rule

Step 3 – Select Data Source

Click the Data Source cell and choose "Entire Model" to include all elements in the project.

Step 4 – Set Category

Click the Category cell. A searchable dropdown appears. Select "Walls".

Step 5 – Set Parameter Mode

Leave the mode as "Instance" since Comments is an instance parameter.

Step 6 – Select Target Parameter

Click the button in the Target Parameter cell. The tool evaluates the elements (finds all walls) and then shows the Parameter Dialog. Find and double-click "Comments".

Step 7 – Enter a Value

Click the Value cell and type a value, e.g. Checked. Alternatively, click the formula editor button to compose a dynamic value.

Step 8 – Execute the Rule

Click "Execute". The tool writes the value to the Comments parameter of all walls. The execution log shows the result, e.g.: Row 1: 47 parameters set (of 47)

Next Steps: Save the rule as a Shortcut so you can reuse it in other projects with one click. Or add more rules and execute them all at once.
