Inspector
See and edit the parameters of everything you selected: one row per parameter, for all elements at once. Narrow the selection by category or value, and send parameters to the Inspector Table to edit them like a spreadsheet.

How it works
- One row per parameter. Inspector reads every selected element. A value shared by all of them is shown and edited once; different values show <varies>. Click it to list the values: the count (“3 ×”) selects those elements, the value edits only them. Rows marked “3/11” exist on only some of the elements. Two parameters with the same name (a door Width and a desk Width) stay separate rows.
- Type (T) rows belong to the family type. Changing one asks first, because every placed instance of that type changes, also outside the selection.
- Category chips select only that category in Revit; Ctrl-click adds or removes one. The strip at the bottom shows how you got there; click All to go back. With more than three categories the search box searches the chips, otherwise parameter names and values.
- Pin keeps Inspector open and following the Revit selection. Unpinned, it closes when you click back in Revit.
- Inspector Table: right-click a parameter and choose Add to Table; the table button opens it. Rows are grouped like a schedule: elements with the same type and values share a row. Edits are only staged (blue bar) until Apply writes them all as one Undo. Ctrl+V pastes from Excel (one value fills every selected cell, a block starts at the top-left cell), Ctrl+D fills down, Ctrl+Z undoes a staged edit. The table keeps its elements until you click Refresh.
- Filtering by value. Click a parameter name and open the right panel with › (or Tab): it lists every value with its count. Type a condition such as <1000, >=2100, =Level 1 or !=FD30 (or click = ≠ < ≤ > ≥); matching values turn green, and Select Matched narrows the Revit selection to them. Numbers compare as numbers; text is compared whole. A condition typed in the main search box is carried over to the panel. In the main box itself, =fire keeps rows with a value containing “fire” and !=FD30 those with another value; click the green area of a value to select its elements. Number comparisons there (<, >) only point you to the right-hand filter.
