Split Revit Columns by Levels
February 2025
❝ I found this issue has been ongoing for years. ❞
– Feature requests for Revit.
– Community scripts and apps.
– Autodesk 9 step method trying to solve it (which took me more than 10 minutes to figure it out). Jeez.
So, I made a small Revit button to split columns by levels.
To give my (biased) two cents, I think it is cool that I can select the levels I want, to cut the columns and set a gap or offset to meet floors or slabs.
I used it and splitted 20 columns in around 10 seconds. It cuts both struct and arch columns.

PS: Small tool in Nonicatab pro.
💻 Coding tip: used elementtransformutils.copyelement(doc, column_id, position), to copy the original column between each selected level and assign heights. Good thing that other parameter values are also copied between elements with this.
I connected A.I. reports to Revit.
