Six one-click actions
on any MEP system

One dialog lists every piping and duct system in your project. Select one or many, hit an action, and the change applies instantly across all matching elements — pipes, fittings, accessories, ducts, and equipment.

Select Elements

Pick any number of system types from the list and select every matching pipe, duct, fitting, accessory, and piece of equipment in your project or view.

⋏ SELECT
Paint Elements

Apply surface and line color overrides with adjustable transparency. RGB sliders, brand preset swatches, and live preview — all in a single picker.

Surface + Line
Isolate Systems

Temporarily isolate selected system elements in the active view. Everything else fades to neutral so you can focus on the run you’re inspecting.

⊙ ISOLATE
Isolate with Links

Same focused isolation, but Revit links stay visible. Perfect for coordinating MEP work against architectural and structural backgrounds.

Keep links visible
Hide Systems

Hide selected system elements from the current view without affecting visibility anywhere else in the project. Reverse it in one click.

□ HIDE
Strip Colors

Remove every surface and line override applied earlier. One pass returns selected systems to their original Revit graphics.

⊘ RESET

Search & Filter

Type in the search box to live-filter the system list by name. The result count updates as you type. Clear the field to see every system again.

Scope Toggle

Switch between Entire Project and Current View to control which systems appear in the list. View scope is faster on large models and only counts what’s visible.

Multi-Select

Hold Ctrl for non-adjacent picks, Shift for a range. Every action button operates on the full selection at once.

Surface / Line Tabs

The color picker splits into two tabs. Surface Color includes a transparency slider; Line Color controls outline appearance. Each tab carries its own preset palette.

RGB Sliders + Transparency

Three RGB sliders with numeric entry give precise color control. A fourth slider sets surface transparency from 0–100%. The preview swatch updates live.

Quick Preset Swatches

A row of brand presets covers the colors MEP teams use most. One click loads the values into the RGB sliders and the preview — ready to apply.

Action Bar

Six imperative buttons line the bottom: Select, Select & Paint, Isolate, Isolate w/ Links, Hide, Strip Colors. One click runs the action across every selected system.

Transaction-Safe Execution

Every paint, hide, or isolate runs inside a single Revit transaction — fully undoable from the Revit Undo stack with one keystroke.

One-click MSI
installer

MEP System Selector ships as a bundled MSI package. Run the installer and the add-in registers itself automatically for every supported Revit version on the machine — no manual file copying or config edits required.

2
Run the installer

Double-click the MSI and follow the prompts. The installer detects Revit 2022–2026 and places all files in the correct add-ins folder automatically.
