A small step for Roman, a giant leap for the Revit add-in developer community:
+RevitLookup has been rewarded 1000 well-earned stars on GitHub. +To celebrate, +Roman @Nice3point Karpovich, aka Роман Карпович, +presents a huge new chunk of RevitLookup functionality enabling Revit BIM element geometry visualization.
+We are proud to share that RevitLookup has achieved 1000 stars on GitHub! +This milestone is a testament to its value and the dedication of our community. +Thank you for helping us reach this landmark!
+To celebrate it, we are excited to introduce a major new feature in this release that will transform your interaction with models, offering a deeper understanding of the geometric objects that constitute your models:
+++Introducing the new Geometry Visualization feature in RevitLookup! +Now you can visualize various geometry objects directly within the interface. +Enhance your BIM workflow with this powerful tool!
+
It is built using the Revit API DirectContext3D
functionality and described in
+the wiki documentation of RevitLookup Geometry Visualization.
+It was mainly implemented in release 2025.0.5, with further enhancements following in 2025.0.6 and 2025.0.7.
Please feel free to submit your feedback, wishes and suggestions regarding visualization in +the comments on pull request 245.
+RevitLookup 2025.0.5 includes +comprehensive geometry visualization capabilities, enabling users to visualize various geometry objects directly within the RevitLookup interface.
+In Revit, geometry is at the core of every model. +Whether you are dealing with simple shapes or intricate structures, having the ability to visualize geometric elements can significantly improve your workflow, analysis and understanding of the BIM.
+To illustrate the power of these visualization capabilities, here are samples of the geometric objects you can now explore directly within RevitLookup:
+Mesh:
+Face:
+Solid:
+Curve:
+Edge:
+BoundingBox:
+XYZ:
+For detailed documentation, check +the wiki documentation of RevitLookup Geometry Visualization.
+Feel free to leave comments and suggestions regarding visualization in +the pill request 245. +Your input help improve this tool for everyone in the Revit community.
+Other improvements include:
+Bounds

+Hope everyone enjoys the new release. +Thanks!
+Made with love by @Nice3point.
+RevitLookup 2025.0.6 implements:
+ +RevitLookup 2025.0.7 implements +solid scaling, theme synchronisation with Revit and other improvements:
+Solid scaling:
+Visualisation now supports scaling a solid, relative to its centre. +Exploring small objects is now even easier, cf., +issue 251:
+Theme synchronisation with Revit:
+Starting with Revit 2024, you can choose to automatically change the RevitLookup theme. +Fans of darker colors will no longer have to dig through the settings every time:
