Why This Tool Exists

⚠️

The Problem

Revit users spend significant time manually troubleshooting why elements mysteriously disappear from specific views. With Revit's 30+ visibility controls (filters, worksets, view range, etc.), identifying the root cause can take hours of investigation.

✅

The Solution

Holmes automatically performs 13 diagnostic tests to identify why elements are hidden in views. Users simply select the missing element in any visible view, click Holmes, and receive a detailed report showing which views have issues and the specific reasons for visibility problems.
