Selection Set Manager
Find every selection set that contains an element
Select anything in the model and the Selection Set Manager highlights each selection set and search set that contains it, nested folders included. It answers the question Navisworks does not: which sets is this element in, and which sets is it missing from.

What it does
Find every selection set that contains an element
Select elements in the model and see every selection or search set that contains them, nested folders included.
- Troubleshoot misgrouped elements in seconds
- Audit coverage across discipline-specific sets, nested folders included
- Works with search sets as well as static selection sets, each with its own icon
- Auto refresh updates the Status column as you click in the model, marking sets the selection covers completely or in part
- Walk mode: click a set in the tree to select or isolate it in the model, with the rest hidden or dimmed to a chosen transparency
- Filter selection hides every set that does not overlap the selection
- Search sets are resolved once and cached, so large set trees stay responsive
Auditing set coverage
Clash tests, TimeLiner tasks and quantity take-offs are only as good as the sets behind them. Turn on Auto refresh and click through a system in the model: the Status column marks every set that picks up the selected elements, orange when the selection covers part of the set and green when it covers all of it. An element that no set picks up is left out of every set-based clash test and TimeLiner task.
