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()
