Batch Cutting Elements in Revit

Batch Cutting Elements in Revit

Type: Quick
Benefits:
Efficiency

A script that lets users cut multiple Revit elements as once. Saving time from manually cutting elements one by one.

A Closer Look

The Problem: Revit only allows you to cut elements one at a time. This makes it incredibly slow and annoying to cut many elements. Especially on larger projects. Not to mention these elements change all the time.
The Approach: A script that loops through the selected elements and performs the cut operation automatically. Just select what you want to cut and what you want to cut with and it handles the rest.
The Outcome: A much faster and less frustrating way to cut things in Revit. Much fewer clicks and less likely to punch the computer

If you’ve ever had to cut multiple elements in Revit, you’ll know how frustrating it is. For some reason, Revit only lets you cut one element at a time. That’s fine for small jobs but on big projects with hundreds of elements to cut, it quickly becomes a chore.

So I built a script to fix that.

It lets you batch cut elements by looping through the selected elements and running the cut operation on each one. Just pick your elements and the objects you want to cut them with, and the script does the rest.
