Applying a Filter to a Selection

In the Filter Assistant you can select a filter and apply it in order to limit the selection to specific types or properties. For example, you can apply a filter that will select elements with a certain color only, or walls of a specific thickness. Click a filter and set the properties according to which the filter is to be applied. The filter is always selected prior to creating the actual selection.

The system always filters the properties of elements and not their display on-screen.

If you select several filters, they are linked with an “and”. In other words, only those elements matching all the filter criteria are selected. The filters presented depend on which modules you have licensed. For example, the Architecture filter is only available if you have licensed the Architecture family of modules.
