Selecting Part of a Chain

If multiple elements (such as walls, lines, or both) are joined together in a continuous chain, you can select
part of the chain.
To select part of a chain
1 Select the first desired element in the chain.
2 Move the cursor to highlight the last desired element in the chain.
3 Press TAB.
Revit Architecture highlights all elements in the partial chain between the first and last elements
that you selected. (Press TAB again to highlight the entire chain. Press it a third time to highlight
only the second element.)
4 Click to select the part of the chain that is highlighted.
If the chain is a closed loop, the elements to be highlighted for partial chain selection are determined by
the cursor position when you highlight the last desired element. As shown in the following wall layout, if
you position the cursor near the left endpoint of the upper-right wall, the partial chain includes the walls
along the top of the layout. If you place the cursor on the right side of that wall, the walls on both sides and
along the bottom are included in the partial chain.
