Use the same name in filters as View settings. Reorg V/G items to show groups

It's frustrating to try to build a filter and find that Revit treats things differently in the filters than in the V/G box.   For example a matchline isn't a "matchline" it's a detail item (i think).  A filled region is a "generic model", etc.

 

I think the frustrating part is that maybe filtering is only able to do some mid to higher level grouping, where V/G lets you work all the way at the bottom of the hierarchy.  Maybe I want to turn off Filled Regions but not lines, etc.

 

I'm suggesting you use the exact same names in the V/G as in the filters.  Maybe in the same order.  

 

Conversely you could organize the V/G and display the groupings.  E.g. Detail items is a group and that would expand to show that line's a detail item, and filled region, etc, etc.  This would be nice actually!  Then you could turn off a group or just the individual components.

I'm not sure I'm understanding your problem.

Filled Regions are set under "Detail Items" (under Model Cat), in both V&G and Filters.

Matchline is under "Matchline" Annotation Cat). Matchlines cannot be filtered with Rule-based filters as they are Annotations. None of the annotations can be filtered that way.

 

I agree it's confusing that Filled Regions and Detail Components are under the Model Categories as they are clearly annotations. (But this is should be posted as a seperate Idea.)
