Free CopySectionIDs Add-in for Autodesk Revit from dp Stuff

Meet CopySelectionIds addin! I think it took me 10 minutes or so to write and compile this tool. It has absolutely no UI and is the simplest tool on Earth (even simpler than any “Hello World” sample). But who cares – if you are like me and use Revit’s IDs of Selection command a lot and copy Element IDs to clipboard to use them later then it can cut the actions to achieve that goal in half! Now your process of copying selection IDs to clipboard looks precisely like that:

1. select elements
2. run CopySelectionIds shortcut (you have got to assign a shortcut to this one!)

That is it – the IDs are on the clipboard!
