Filtering Model Lines Groups

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am currently in the process of creating furniture layout plans and in the spirit of expediency, I created my furniture as Model Lines groups. I don't want those groups to show up on my A-100 series plans. Since you can't assign a category to these groups, I can't straight up create a filter to turn them off on all the drawings. I tried setting up a selection-based filter, but somehow it doesn't work.

Any thoughts or best practices on the subject? Thanks!

I am not convinced that grouping Model Lines is terribly expedient.  Creating a simple, plan-only, non-parametric furniture family for each item would not have taken much additional time, and are much easier with which to work in a project (and can have their visibility controlled by filters).

Given that you already have Model Line groups, if you create one or more unique Line sub-categories for the lines in your Model Line groups, you can turn off those Line sub-categories in the Views in which you do not wish to see them.
