I have sometimes an array with 10x45=450 assemblies. Because this slows down my computer dramaticly I use LOD to suppress parts within the assembly.

To expand on the filter function, you can also use it to sort on any of the standard iProperties to the BOM (within the model eviro) using the Field Chooser function. This will allow you to filter sort on these fields as well.
