ADMIN & AUTOMATION

Quick Match.

Copy the type and every instance parameter from a source element to a target in a single action, with no window at all.

01 · THE PROBLEM

Revit's built-in Match Type Properties command only swaps the target's type; every instance parameter — comments, mark, fire rating, sill-height overrides — still has to be read from Properties and retyped by hand, one target element at a time.

6–8 tham số

Native Match Type Properties skips instance parameters

The Match Type Properties (MA) command only changes the type; comments, mark, fire rating or shared instance parameters still have to be read from Properties and retyped onto the target by hand.

30–45 s

The time cost multiplies per target element

Copying 6–8 parameters by hand for one element takes half a minute; matching 40–50 similar elements — doors, MEP fixtures — to a template burns half a day just retyping data that already exists on the source element.

0 đối chiếu

Manual copying drifts, with no side-by-side check

Reading a value off the source element's Properties panel and typing it onto the target has no way to line the two up side by side — a mistyped fire rating or mark only surfaces at QA.

Mỗi category

Reconfiguring Settings for every category switch

Match Type Properties requires toggling the right group in its Settings dialog — walls, floors, rooms — before it runs; switch to a different element group and you have to reopen Settings and configure it again.

02 · FEATURES

What it does

The closest free option, Copy Parameter on the Autodesk App Store, copies one parameter into another for elements of the same category — but every source-target pair has to be configured in a dialog first, and it has no notion of 'pick a source element, apply it to a target' the way Revit's own Match Type Properties does, and that native command only swaps the type, never the instance parameters. Quick Match targets exactly that gap:

A

Copy properties

  • Copies both the type and every instance parameter
  • No window — it runs right in the view
  • Apply to several targets in a row
