hide rows in wall schedule

how to hide rows in wall schedule,  any suggestion. thanks

[syman2000]

I would add COMMENT parameter and then add the value EXCLUDE. In the filter you would set COMMENT Does not equal EXCLUDE.

[BIM_Dreamer]

can you please show me how to do it. thanks

What's the criteria to meet to have the row hidden.  Filter it out by "Does not Equal".  

[syman2000 · Accepted solution]

Sure.

Add Comments parameter. Add EXCLUDE to all wall you want to hide

In the filter, you add in Comments does not equal EXCLUDE

The wall will hide itself.

how i'm going to hide those walls that i cannot type or keyin EXCLUDE in the wall schedule. thank you

[syman2000]

Are those wall linked in or in a group? Normally Revit linked you won't be able to enter in information until you edit the link model and type in those value.

What are being excluded? What criteria? There may be another way other than type in Comments for every wall.

[BIM_Dreamer]

they are in model in-place stacked wall and don't  want them to see in wall schedule? cannot type exclude in comments in schedule, thanks

[BIM_Dreamer]

do you have any idea? i did that in comments/exclude because they are model in-place as walls and don't want them to see in wall schedule that is the reason i want them to hide. thank you

[ToanDN]

Do it in reverse. Select all the walls you can enter Comments and enter Included. Then filter the schedule using Comments = Included.

[BIM_Dreamer]

thank you for your reply but there are 100's of type wall in schedule it will take me time? i tried and i did i add description fields and type EXCLUDE and set the filter to description = does no equal = EXCLUDE and i think it worked able to hide them, but not sure if this the correct approach. thanks you

[barthbradley]

Why don't you exclude all the model in-place walls and forget comments. 

[BIM_Dreamer]

how? please show me how to do it. thank you

[syman2000]

Stackwall is an abnormality since it is consist of host wall. You are pretty much stuck and can't use the comments. However if you tab it, you can select the sub-element of the wall

Enable the structure and you can define structural to another category not used by your structural consultant

In your filter, you add Structural Usage and set to does not equal to Structural combined

My suggestion in the future is to use wall footing as your alternative

[BIM_Dreamer]

 i will try and let you know . thank you

[ToanDN]

If you don't want to type anything to Comments, then create different basic wall types to be used in the stacked wall types. Then filter using type names.
