Holmes

Verified

Holmes is a Revit add-in for BIM managers and architects who need to track down why an element isn't showing up in a view.

It runs 13 automated visibility tests — category and workset visibility, filters, view discipline, scale, view range and more — across every view in the project.

Each hidden view comes with the specific reason and a link to the relevant Revit documentation.

Holmes Overview

Holmes is a Revit add-in from Camilion that diagnoses why a selected element is not visible in a view. Select an element in any view where it is visible, and Holmes runs 13 automated tests — checking category visibility, workset visibility, applied view filters, view discipline, line color overrides, view scale, and the element's position relative to the view range, among others — across every view in the project. For each view where the element is hidden, Holmes reports the specific reason and links out to the relevant Revit documentation so the cause can be fixed directly. Only one element can be diagnosed at a time; multiple selections are not supported. Holmes supports Autodesk Revit 2018 through 2027 and is distributed as a paid annual subscription with a 7-day free demo.
