    Visibility by Level in 3D View

    Is there a way to set the visibility of elements in a 3D view according to the Level they are associated with?

     

    The VG tab which opens the filter dialog provides a check box for the "Levels" category, and the relevant parameters are made available.

     

    But I can not seem to create a filter rule which evaluates any of those parameters (name, elevation, etc...) to then isolate the visibility of those elements in the 3D view that either meet, or do not meet the criteria. Nothing seems to work.

     

    To achieve a "similar" effect in a 3D view, I can use a Section Box, but that is a very clunky and imprecise way.

    I can also create a Shared Parameter for "Level" and perhaps filter successfully that way, but that seems redundant with the Levels intelligence already established.

     

    Am I missing something?

    The Levels check box in the filter dialog allows you to select Level elements that meet a certain criteria, but that has nothing to do with filtering the model elements associated to levels.

     

    How about creating isometric views by level? Doesn't that give you the same result?

    Cube menu > Orient to view > Level 1 > Orbit. Save view, then, repeat for the next level, etc...

    Thanks Alfredo!

     

    That certainly works for me.

     

    I appreciate your help.
