Is only for pipe fittings but you can easily adapt to other types of categories with the same issue ;) Download the  DYN  file for Dynamo 1.2.1 and enjoy!

Generally I'm not used to give reviews and presentation about particular software but, this time, I would like to share some personal feedback about this great platform. Model management When it comes to manage big models, big teams and coordination reviews, you need definitely a platform to track all the changes.  Navisworks is able to manage reports and changes between different stages of the project but, is not able to provide information to each single user directly inside Revit and, of course, is not able to provide a professional cloud platform for Managers to track the progress of models coordination. When first time I faced this problem, I realize that we need a professional environment to manage this workflow and I started to try different ways. First I tried with couple of Dynamo scripts to visualize clash spheres in Revit (based on XML clash reports) combined with Excel Worksheets but this is not very user friendly (at that time we didn't have Dynamo Player...
