    Clear All Painted Elements

    Overview

    Clear All Painted Elements strips the Revit Paint override from every painted face in the active 3D view. It ensures a 3D view is active first (reusing the current one, falling back to the default {3D} view, or creating an isometric {3D} if none exists), asks for a one-time confirmation, then scans the view's visible elements face-by-face for paint and removes it in a single transaction — reporting how many faces across how many elements were cleared.

    How to use

    1. In the B45 Labs | Coordination tab, open the Model Management panel and click Clear All Painted Elements.
    2. If you are not already in a 3D view, the command activates the default {3D} view (or creates one) so the scan has a 3D context.
    3. Confirm the preflight prompt — it warns that ALL visible painted faces in the current 3D view will be cleared, with an optional "don't show again".
    4. A progress window tracks the scan of every visible element for painted faces, then the paint removal.
    5. A summary reports how many faces across how many elements had their paint removed, or that no painted faces were found.

    Tips & Notes

    • Scope is the visible element set of the active 3D view — anything hidden or cropped out of that view keeps its paint. To clear the whole model, make everything visible first.
    • Reach for Clear Painted (By Selection) instead when only a handful of faces need cleaning.
    • Per-face and per-element failures are skipped best-effort, so one problematic element never aborts the whole cleanup.

    Limitations

    • Removes Paint only — materials, element graphic overrides, and any other appearance settings are left intact.
    • Processes only elements visible in the active 3D view, not the entire model regardless of visibility.
    • Read-only models are rejected up front, since RemovePaint is a write operation.
