Filter Models

You can apply filters to exclude elements from the model. This will help you to focus on specific design elements or areas of interest to better communicate with your team and contextualize the project.

There are four categories of default filters which support RVT, IFC and DWG files:

Note: For these or other file types, you can add custom filters.

Filter	RVT properties	IFC properties	DWG properties
Levels	Constraints/Level	Element/IfcSpatialContainer	--
	Constraints/Base Constraint	--	--
	Constraints/Base Level	--	--
	Constraints/Top Constraint	--	--
	Constraints/Top Level	--	--
	Constraint/Schedule Level	--	--
	Constraint/ Reference Level	--	--
Systems/Assembly	Identity Data/Assembly Description	Identity Data (IFC Type)/Assembly Description	Region 1 Data/Assembly
	Identity Data/Assembly code	Identity Data/Assembly code	--
Rooms	Other/Room Name	Element/Room Bounding	N/A
	Other/Room Number	--	--
Category	__category__/_RC (Revit Category)	Element/Category	General/ Layer
	--	Element/IfcClass	--

Note: Default filters may differ depending on the model as they are based on the model properties.

If you are working on an RVT, IFC, or DWG file:

Select a default filter

Note: The default view displays three filters. Click Show more to view all default and added filters.

Select elements in the filter.

Hide all filters by clicking the filter icon or clear all filters by clicking the X in the filter panel .

Add and Reorder filters

You can add custom filters in addition to the default filters, or if the file type you are working on does not support the default filters.

Select Add custom property
Drag to reorder any filters that are already added
Select any listed filter to add, or use the search to refine your options.
Click Update.

You can now access these filters from the filter panel. Click Show more to view all filters if you have more than three added.

Show or Hide Elements

While filters exclude elements from your model, you can choose to control the visibility of elements by using Show and Hide.

The elements are displayed under the model filters as shown in the example below:

Select the next to an element to show or hide it.
