Selecting Chains of Walls and Lines
If multiple elements (such as walls, lines, or both) are joined together in a continuous chain, you can select
the entire chain. The chain can include different types of elements.
To select a chain of walls or lines
1 Highlight any one of the elements in the chain.
2 Press TAB .
Revit Architecture highlights all elements in the chain.
3 Click to select the entire chain.
The following figures show valid chains for selection.

Walls and area separation lines joined
If multiple walls are joined at the same point, the chain continues along the wall that makes the smallest
angle with the one currently highlighted. Walls joined at mid-end faces can also be included in a chain
selection. For more information, see
Creating Walls with Mid-End Faces on page 586.
As shown in the following illustration of a selected chain of walls, drag controls display at the coincident
endpoints. You can drag these controls to new locations without unjoining the endpoints. For more
information, see
Modifying a Selected Chain on page 274.
