Filters Save the Day
James has been working on a medical facility in Revit MEP 2015. When
he completes the project, he submits it to the state review board to
ensure that the plans meet the state requirements for standards of care
for health facilities. The only comments from the reviewer are that she
would like to have the different duct systems shown with different
patterns to help differentiate the systems more clearly. To accomplish
this, James uses system filters to distinguish the duct systems. The
following steps show how he accomplishes his goal:
1. After using the shortcut VG to open the Visibility/Graphic Overrides
dialog box, he chooses Filters New/Edit. Next, he duplicates
Mechanical - Supply (twice) and renames the new filters
Mechanical Supply Air 1
and
Mechanical Supply Air 2
, as
shown here.
2. He changes the filter rules from System Classification to System
Name and changes the Contains statement to
Mechanical Supply
Air 1
. He repeats the process for Mechanical Supply Air 2.
