Hi, I will like to know if it is possible to find specific instances with special filter in a project. For example, finding all 20 cm thickness walls with the length less than 2 m in the project.

or

how i can find basic walls with 6" thickness and the lenght less than 5'?

Thank you

Create a schedule and add filters based on these criteria.

you can do it in several ways...using both Filters and Schedules....not necessary both..

  • by using Filters and VGO - create Ruled based Filters - with Type and Length - as shown in my screencast:

  • by using Schedule you can control in a centralized mode the walls: by using Formating > Conditional Format >Conditional Formating filter...
