Description

Unbox is a tool that can quickly get you started on a new project by automatically creating different kinds of views from one or more input scope boxes, assigning types and templates to those views and then optionally placing them on sheets. The views currently supported are:

• Floor plan views
• Inverted ceiling plan views
• 3D Perspective and Isometric views
• Sections - one at each side of the scope box looking from the inside out.
• Elevations - one at each side of the scope box looking from the outside in.
• Area Plans - keep in mind that area plans don’t have a type and instead you will need to assign an area schema to them.

Interface

The interface is split into four logical areas:

1. The Scope Box selection column

2. The View Settings column

3. The Sheet Settings column

4. The Titleblock Settings Column

Scope Box selection

Here you can find all scope boxes in the project. This is an extended selection list and you can use the CTRL or SHIFT buttons to select or deselect multiple items and then press SPACE or one of the checkboxes to enable or disable your selection. Alternatively you can use the “All/None” checkbox to quickly select or deselect all visible items. You can also use the “Hide Unchecked” checkbox to unclutter the scope box list and easily hide all of the unchecked sheets.

You can press the Select button to manually pick a particular scope box in your Revit view.

If you have any boxes selected prior to starting the command, they will automatically be checked for you.
