Revit.ini File Editor

The Revit.ini file is a key configuration file in Revit that stores settings related to user preferences, system behavior, and project defaults.

The Revit.ini File Editor provides a simple and efficient way to manage these settings without the need for manual editing.
With this tool, users can quickly adjust Revit’s configurations to match project needs or personal preferences, making it an essential utility for both professionals and teams working with Revit.

This is our first public version, and we are excited for you to try it out for yourself!
Make sure to file issues you encounter on our GitHub so we can continue to improve it.

Dependency conflict static analyzer

Some users experience issues launching RevitLookup, often caused by conflicts with third-party plugins (see issue #269).

To help resolve these issues, we've introduced new tools that allow you to analyze, identify and upgrade problematic plugins causing crashes.

Addins dependency isolation. End of DLL hell

In this release, RevitLookup now runs in an isolated container for addin dependencies.
This new capability prevents conflicts and compatibility issues arising from different library versions between plugins, ensuring a more stable and reliable environment for plugin execution.

This enhancement uses the Nice3point.Revit.Toolkit to manage the isolation process, effectively eliminating DLL conflicts.
By integrating this package, RevitLookup ensures a consistent and predictable user experience.

Detailed description how it works: https://github.com/Nice3point/RevitToolkit/releases/tag/2025.0.1

Dependency isolation is available starting with Revit 2025.
Note that the isolation mechanism is implemented by an additional library that must be loaded into Revit at first startup for it to work.
Therefore, if your other plugins use Nice3point.Revit.Toolkit, it must be updated to version 2025.0.1, which introduces this feature

Concept explanation from @ricaun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpy4J_6-8WY

General

  • Solid scaling

    Visualisation now supports scaling a solid, relative to its centre. Exploring small objects is now even easier #251

    изображение

  • Theme synchronisation with Revit

    Starting with Revit 2024, you can choose to automatically change the RevitLookup theme. Fans of darker colors will no longer have to dig through the settings every time

Improvements

  • Improved arrow position for vertical edges on visualization

  • Multithreading visualization support. Changing settings now does not affect rendering. Previously there were artifacts due to fast settings changes

  • Added new extensions:

    Type Extension Description
    Element GetCuttingSolids Gets all the solids which cut the input element
    Element GetSolidsBeingCut Get all the solids which are cut by the input element
    Element IsAllowedForSolidCut Validates that the element is eligible for a solid-solid cut

RevitLookup ✨1000 Stars on GitHub

We're proud to share that RevitLookup has achieved 1000 stars on GitHub!
This milestone is a testament to its value and the dedication of our community.
Thank you for helping us reach this landmark!

Star History Chart

To celebrate it, we are excited to introduce a major new feature in this release that will transform your interaction with models, offering a deeper understanding of the geometric objects that constitute your models.

Introducing Geometry Visualization

This release includes comprehensive Geometry Visualization capabilities, enabling users to visualize various geometry objects directly within the RevitLookup interface.

In Revit, geometry is at the core of every model.
Whether you are dealing with simple shapes or intricate structures, having the ability to visualize geometric elements can significantly improve your workflow, analysis and understanding of the BIM.

To illustrate the power of these visualization capabilities, here's a glimpse of the geometric objects you can now explore directly within RevitLookup:

Geometry Illustration
