ThreeDeltaTools - The View Collection is an add-in app for Autodesk® Revit®.

This latest release introduces DocumentViews to the collection, delivers improvements to the SelectionBox Browser and the Interactive View Range Control and offers full support for file-based workshared projects.

Document Views automatically manage their view name by applying a predefined naming standard driven by parameters and their abbreviated values. Create and manage view name standards based on parameter rules, parameter values and parameter value abbreviations. Streamline the process of a well-structured Project Browser views organization.

Easily implement an ISO 19650 naming convention for view names in a project.

The Selection Box Browser allows the creation and management of Selection Boxes and Selection Box design/modelling Views. Subdivide your model into named areas/volumes of interest to simplify design and navigate quickly within your model. Create modelling views – 3D, plans, elevations, sections to build and interact with, model elements in each Selection Box. Automatically keep and synchronize Selection Box View names, extents, parameters, and visibility graphics.

The Interactive View Range Control dynamically adjusts the view range of plans, sections, and elevations. Use the mouse and the mouse scrolling wheel and directly control the values of the view range. Apply the settings automatically with each value change and watch the live update of view on the display, no more edit view range dialogue from the Properties Palette.

Apply View Parameters to View Templates Bonus tool allows you to quickly apply selected parameters and visibility graphics settings of the active view to any number or type of view templates.

Discover how these tools help improve workflows, streamline, and accelerate design, rapidly navigate within your model, and focus on the details of your projects.
