Hi @Ta7a ,

 

First, utilize the Search API to search for and filter the required items, employing multiple search conditions.

Subsequently, integrate these model items into the current selection and save them as SelectionSets using the Navisworks API.

If you are using single category, this is the way. If you want to create a bunch of selection/search sets with some nesting (like Workset/Property/Category) I would suggest Productivity Toolbox from Autodesk App Store. Trial is not listed on page, but you can ask for it.
