mechanical section filtering

how are people handling filtering out plumbing sections from mechanical drawings and vise versa? for whatever reason the sub discipline is grayed out on the section defaulting to HVAC and a cannot get the plumbing trade section off my HVAC plans.

Use View Filters to accomplish this task. Create a View Filter that captures your Plumbing Pipe, and then turn of the Visibility of that Filter in your View.

Hope that Helps,

i don't think i worded the question properly. what i meant to say was that the section tags are what i want to filter out. so the plumbing section tag/head is on my hvac plans and i cannot filter it out or don't know how.

Ahh, gotcha. No automatic way to do that as far as I know. Use manual Visibility overrides....

Hold Ctrl+Select the Plumbing Sections->Right-Click->Hide in View->Elements. That will make them go away.

Hope that Helps,

Regarding the original poster's question about not having the plumbing
section tags show up in his HVAC sheets and how to turn them off....This is
our first Revit MEP project and I was wondering if Kyle's response is still
the preferred method of accomplishing this in the 2010 version or is there a
better way. It seems to me with this solution you will need to be always
checking your sheets to watch out for any new sections tags added by the
other trades so you can individually shut them off.

Thanks for any insight on this.
