To filter existing features

Filter a feature class, feature, or subset with an expression.

1. Click in the Utility Bar to open the Model Explorer.
2. Click next to the feature class, feature or subset(s) to filter.
   Note: The Expression Editor opens with the title "Create New Subset."
3. Create a filter expression. See To create an expression for more information.
   • Simple Filter: Specify a property, an operator, and a value. For example, ROOF_HEIGHT > 24. The subset defined by that expression includes only buildings whose roof height value is more than 24 feet.
   • Multiple-Condition Filter: Combines two or more simple filters. For example, ROOF_HEIGHT > 24 AND ROOF_MATERIAL = 'Roofing:Copper_Tile_Medium'. The subset defined by that expression includes only buildings whose roof height value is more than 24 feet and that also have medium copper tile roofs.
   • Location Filter: Features within this area are included in the subset, while those outside the area are not. See: To specify a location condition.
4. Click OK to apply the filter.
5. In Model Explorer, enter a Name for the new subset.
