Find Element command

In IMPACT Revit, the user has the possibility to find an element in the Revit model. This can be useful when there are a lot of elements, or the user wants to select all components of one specific sort. 

Note: A similar tool can be found in IMPACT Project Manager and IMPACT for AutoCAD
