Reset Monitored Elements
Overview
Reset Monitored Elements restores the graphic overrides that Check Monitored Elements' Paint in View remembered during the current Revit session. It drains a document-scoped cache of (view, element) overrides in a single transaction — re-applying each element's original override, including an empty one, which effectively clears the highlight — so the whole restore is one undoable step. If nothing was painted, it tells you there is nothing to reset. It runs silently on success.
How to use
- After highlighting monitored elements with Check Monitored Elements' Paint in View, open the Monitored Elements split button in the QA/QC panel (B45 Labs | Coordination tab).
- Choose Reset Monitored Elements from the split.
- Every override applied to monitored elements in this session is restored to its original state in a single undoable step. If nothing was painted, it reports that there are no overrides to reset.
Tips & Notes
- It is the ribbon equivalent of the in-window Reset Overrides button — use whichever is closer to hand.
- Because it restores in one transaction, a single Undo re-applies the highlight if you reset by mistake.
Limitations
- Reverts only overrides applied in the current Revit session; a previous session's highlights are not tracked.
- Scoped to the document that was painted — running it in a different open model reports nothing to reset.
