Read the selection

Technical name: selezione

Model › Read

Reads

The elements you have selected in Revit right now, with id, category and name.

What it does

Returns to your AI the elements selected in Revit at this moment: for each one, id, category and name. It is the simplest way to tell the AI "these ones": you select in Revit and then ask it to work on the selection.

How it works

  1. You select the elements in Revit as usual.
  2. Your AI reads the selection; BIMit returns id, category and name of each selected element.
  3. Your AI uses the ids with the other tools, for example to read their parameters.

Example requests

  • "What have I selected?"
  • "Read the selection and tell me which categories the elements belong to."
  • "Take the selected elements and check their parameters."

What changes and how to undo

Nothing: the tool only reads. The selection, the model and files do not change.

Parameters

No parameters.
