Explode 3D Views in Revit
February 2025
❝ Revit models are organized by levels, so they can be used to explode views. ❞
🤷♂️ I don´t do that often, but I thought it was boring to explode 3d views (create displacement sets or views with section boxes).
So, I made a small Revit button for that. (Coding tip at the end).
I think I like to rerun the tool, adjust distances and which levels are exploded.
I must say that this tool depends on how the model is organized. If walls are not split by levels, they will not be exploded by levels.

PS: This small tool for Nonicatab pro members.
PSS: Kudos to BoostYourBim for inspiring with the original version.
💻 Coding tip: Used FEC for elements in the view. I got their level based on their category and created the displacement set with displacementelement.create()
