Guide to using Revit View Filters

9/12/2017

1 Comment

 

What are view filters?

View filters enable smart selection of Revit elements based on specified criteria, like selecting all visible structural columns of a specific size, or selecting all walls of 1hr fire rating. After creating the required filter, you may override elements graphics as needed to emphasis required information in project views.

How to create view filters?

Step 1: Go to view tab, Graphics, click Filters
Picture
Step 2: Click on New to create a new filter
Picture
Step 3: Give your filter a unique name, in this case (Walls 1hr Fire Rating), then click OK
Picture
Step 4: On the 'Categories' section, select Walls
Picture
Step 5: Under 'Filter Rules', Select Filter by: Type name. Select 'Contains' below & type (1-hr)
Picture
Note: (1-hr) has been added into the type name of a few wall elements in this project.
Step 6: Click OK to confirm, your filter is now ready to be used in project views.

How to apply view filters?

Now that you have your filter ready, let's put it to action!
Step 1: Open the Visibility/Graphics Override window (Shortcut: VV or VG)
Picture
Step 2: Switch to Filters tab & click Add
Picture
Step 3: Select the filter/s you want to add to the current view or view template
Picture
Step 4: Click 'Override Patterns' under 'Cut' column
Picture
Step 5: Select the desired pattern and color to identify 1-hr fire rated walls
Picture
Click OK to apply the filter to your selected view.
Picture
  • The same previous steps may be applied to any of Revit elements, not only walls.
  • You may apply several view filters to a single view in Revit
  • View filters are best used with view templates to increase productivity & reduce rework.

Editing stairs in Revit can be challenging for new Revit users. Here's one of the  options you need to know about stairs ...

Stair Ending

A stair usually connects 2 levels / floors together. A stair end can be either a riser or a  tread. By default, Revit ends all stairs with risers. In this example, I'm using a stair by component for demonstration. Ending a stair with a riser looks like the example below ...

If you want to adjust your stair to end with a tread instead of a riser, follow these steps:
  1. Double click the stair to edit its components
  2. select the end/top flight
  3. Uncheck 'End with riser'
  4. Fix  'Relative Top Height' value to match required height between floor levels
Picture
Picture
After adjusting floor / stair positions, you will see a tread end of your stair.
