Data Sources
The Data Source determines which elements the MultiPushTool uses as the base set for a rule.
Overview
| Data Source | Base Set | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| Entire Model | All elements in the open project | Project-wide standardization |
| Active View | All elements visible in the current active view | View-based editing, using visibility filters |
| Selection | Elements that were selected in Revit when the tool was opened | Targeted editing of a manual selection |
Entire Model
All elements of the current Revit project are included, regardless of the active view or selection. For Type parameter mode, types are loaded directly from the model – this is the only data source that provides full type coverage.
Active View
Only elements that are visible in the currently active Revit view are included. Elements hidden by visibility filters, level overrides, or crop regions are excluded.
Selection
Only elements selected in Revit when the dialog was opened are used. The selection is captured once at startup – changes made while the tool is open have no effect.
Interaction with Geometry Filters
The Data Source defines the base set. A Geometry Filter further restricts it. Both settings work together:
| Data Source | Geometry Filter | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Entire Model | Scope Box A | All project elements that lie within Scope Box A |
| Active View | Scope Box A | Elements visible in the view that also lie within Scope Box A |
| Selection | Scope Box A | From the selection, only elements within Scope Box A |
