Schedule Filters

[asommer]

I have a "Duct Accessory Schedule" and I want to FILTER OUT all items but my "FD" (Fire Damper Type).  I go to the filter tab, but the only category I can apply a filter to is "Size".  It is the same problem on Pipe Types.  I don't see why it wouldn't let me do this, even if I am trying to filter out "Types".

Does anyone know what the issue is?

I get that too, you can sort by Type but not filter by Type 😮

Its a special feature I think.

...normally I resort to filtering by Type Mark.

What if you create a yes/no project parameter to filter by, then select all your FD types and check the box? Manual work, but it might be a way.

The behavior you are seeing is as designed. Basically to be able to show any family and types in the filter drop down, Revit would have to show all families and types in the project regardless of what you are scheduling. To avoid confusion, the ability to filter some schedules by family and types not available.

We understand that this may not be the preferred workflow, but this is an issue that has been logged with our Development group who may look at changing the behavior in the future.
