Clear Painted (By Selection)
Overview
Clear Painted (By Selection) removes the Paint override only from faces you explicitly pick, instead of sweeping the whole view. It works through an add/remove picking loop: click Add Faces to accumulate painted faces into a working set, Remove Faces to pull faces back out, and Confirm & Clear to strip paint from exactly that set. The picker only lets you select faces that are actually painted, and a live count shows how many faces across how many elements are staged.
How to use
- In the B45 Labs | Coordination tab, open the Model Management panel and click Clear Painted (By Selection).
- If you are not already in a 3D view, the command activates one, then shows a short prompt to pick painted faces.
- Click Add Faces and pick painted faces in the model — only faces that are actually painted can be selected.
- Optionally click Remove Faces to take faces back out of the working set; the dialog shows the running face and element count.
- Click Confirm & Clear and accept the confirmation to remove paint from just the staged faces.
- A summary reports how many faces across how many elements were cleared.
Tips & Notes
- The face filter only accepts painted faces, so you can't waste clicks on unpainted geometry — and in Remove mode it only accepts faces already in your set.
- Build the set across as many Add / Remove rounds as you need; nothing is written to the model until you Confirm & Clear.
- Faces on grouped elements are skipped to avoid Revit's Ungroup prompt — ungroup the element first if you need to clear those faces.
Limitations
- Acts only on the faces you pick; it does not sweep the whole view — use Clear All Painted Elements for a blanket cleanup.
- Faces belonging to group members are not cleared.
- Read-only models are rejected before the picking loop starts.
