Filter Models
You can apply filters to exclude elements from the model. This helps you focus on specific design elements or areas of interest. It also helps you better communicate with your team and contextualize the project.
There are four categories of default filters which support RVT, IFC, and DWG files:
| 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 | -- |
If you are working on an RVT, IFC, or DWG file:

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

You can add custom filters in addition to the default filters. If the file type you're working on doesn't support the default filters, you can also add custom filters.

- 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.
