Select Similar Elements in Active View
Expand a multi-element selection to include all similar instances in the active view. Unlike Revit's built-in "Select All Instances in View" which works on a single element at a time, this tool processes multiple selected elements simultaneously, gathering all matching instances for each selected type in one pass.
Shift+Click and Settings
Shift+Click on Select Similar opens the Settings Hub to the Select Similar page. Previously, Shift+Click expanded the scope from Active View to the entire project; scope is now a persistent scope setting under Settings Hub -> Selection -> Select Similar with labeled options Active View (default) and Entire Project.
