Show Only Steel Framing

[steve]

I want to hide all wood framing in a job, show only steel framing.  Unfortunately both are all the same category:  " Structural Framing".    Without manually selecting each member size and "select all instances in entire project" indivdually.  See video here:

Either use Worksets 

Or Use a View Filter (a rule based using a parameter)

• Either Type Name (if you want to apply to specific types)
• Or use Family Name (if you want to apply to all the types of that family)

You can apply filter to

1. hide certain types/families (ie: using Family or Type Name + Equal to)
2. or to isolate certain ones (ie: using Family or Type Name + Not equal to)

Create a View Filter based on Structural Material: does not equal Steel

You are welcome but you do not need to mark 2 solution...it is pretty much obvious it is a copy paste

can you link me to the source for your animation,  so I can start and stop.  It is very informative.
