Alpha Missing Coverage
Viewing unmapped Revit types and tracking coverage completion
Missing Coverage
The Missing Coverage view shows which Alpha product types still need model files (RVT and/or GLB) to be exported from your Revit model. It helps you track progress toward full type coverage.
What Is Type Coverage?
In the Alpha platform, each product type has associated model files. Type coverage tracks whether both the RVT and GLB files have been uploaded for each product name. A product is fully covered when both files are present.
Opening Missing Coverage
Click Missing Coverage in the Tools panel of the Alpha ribbon.
How It Works
- The add-in fetches coverage data from the Alpha platform for the configured Type ID
- It scans the current Revit document for model groups
- It cross-references the two lists to find incomplete coverages that have a matching group in the file
Only actionable items are shown — product types that are incomplete and have a corresponding group in your Revit model.
Coverage List
Each item in the list shows:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Product Name | The Alpha product name |
| RVT | Whether the RVT file has been uploaded |
| GLB | Whether the GLB file has been uploaded |
| Matching Group | The Revit group that matches this product name |
Highlighting Groups
You can highlight groups in the Revit viewport to quickly locate them:
- Highlight Selected — Select an item in the list and click to highlight that single group in Revit
- Highlight All — Highlight all groups with missing coverage at once
This is useful for visually identifying which groups still need to be exported.
Status Bar
The status bar at the bottom shows a summary:
12 actionable item(s) (45 total coverages, 30 groups in file)- Actionable items — Incomplete coverages with matching groups (what you can act on)
- Total coverages — All product coverages for the configured type
- Groups in file — Total model groups in the current Revit document
Workflow
graph LR
A[Open Missing Coverage] --> B[Review incomplete items]
B --> C[Highlight groups in Revit]
C --> D[Export missing models]
D --> E[Refresh to verify]- Open Missing Coverage to see what is incomplete
- Highlight groups to find them in your model
- Select and export the groups that need models
- Click Refresh to reload coverage data and confirm uploads
Requirements
- A valid API key must be configured in Settings
- A Type ID must be set in Settings
- The Revit model must contain groups whose names match Alpha product names
