1. Reconnect

Reconnect restores the connection between ScaffPlan and Revit.

Use it when the ScaffPlan panel becomes disconnected, unresponsive, or stops updating correctly, without needing to restart Revit.

 

2. Diagnose

Diagnose finds ungrouped scaffold components that no longer belong to ScaffPlan.

Use it to identify scaffold items that have lost their ScaffPlan grouping or metadata, meaning they are no longer recognised as valid ScaffPlan objects and may not behave correctly in tools, reports, or gear lists.

Once diagnosed run select components in the list to highlights ungrouped items in the model that no longer belong to ScaffPlan:

 

3. Load Shapes

Load Shapes checks whether all required ScaffPlan shapes are available in the model environment.

Use it to detect missing scaffold shapes and automatically load them from the ScaffPlan environment, so scaffold items display and generate correctly.

Click Load button to add list of shapes missing.

 

4. Mini Toolbar

Mini-toolbar toggles the ScaffPlan mini-toolbar on or off.

Use it to show or hide the quick-action toolbar that appears when selecting ScaffPlan objects in the model.

 

5. Snapping Point

Snapping Point places a custom snap point in the Revit model.

Use it to create a reference point that ScaffPlan commands can snap to or use as an input location. Snapping points can also be embedded inside custom ScaffBlock items during custom component creation.

 

6. Hide Temporary Objects

Hide Temp Objects hides all temporary ScaffPlan objects in the model.

Use it to hide snapping points, snapping lines and labels keeping the model view cleaner while working.
