Delete Reference Planes (Revit pyRevit Tool)

Clear out the forest of stray reference planes, keeping the ones that matter.

Reference planes pile up invisibly across a model and clutter every view. This pyRevit tool deletes all unpinned reference planes in one pass while protecting the ones you have pinned, so your important datums and construction lines stay put.

What's inside

• One pyRevit button: Delete Reference Planes
• A scan of every reference plane, split into pinned (kept) and unpinned (deleted)
• A confirmation dialog that shows the pinned versus unpinned counts before you commit
• A result report of deleted and failed counts

Who this is for

• BIM professionals cleaning a cluttered working model
• BIM managers tidying a file before issue or template creation
• Revit users transitioning into BIM who want a safe reference-plane purge

Requirements

• Autodesk Revit 2021 or newer
• pyRevit installed (free, from pyrevitlabs.io)
• Runs in a single confirmable, undoable Revit transaction

What you'll get faster

The annoying manual hunt for stray reference planes. Pin the ones you need, run the tool, and the rest are gone.
