Delete a selection

Technical name: tavole_selezione_elimina

Sheets › Queue

Writes files

Deletes a saved selection of sheets and views from the model's export settings.

What it does

Deletes a saved selection from the model's export settings. The sheets and views it contained stay in the model: only the named group goes away. If any scheduled export used that selection, the answer says so, because from then on it will export nothing.

How it works

  1. Your AI gives the name of the selection to delete.
  2. BIMit looks it up in the export preset linked to the model (case-insensitive), deletes it and saves the preset.
  3. You get the name of the deleted selection, the remaining selections and, if any, the warning about scheduled exports that used it.

Example requests

  • "Delete the 'Package 1 old' selection."
  • "Which saved selections are there? Delete the one with the test sheets."

What changes and how to undo

Only the export settings linked to the model change (the .json preset): the selection is removed. The Revit model is not touched.

To undo: create the selection again with Save a selection, with the same name and the same sheets and views. If a scheduled export used it, it works again once the selection exists again with the same name.

Limits

AI level required: Write (it writes a file on this PC).

  • If there is no selection with that name, the answer lists the model's selections and nothing changes.

Parameters

ParameterMeaning
nomeName of the selection (required).
