Invert View Filters in V/G (NOT)

Invert View Filters in V/G (NOT)

Allow for a filter to be inverted in the V/G window so that a filter can be toggled to include elements OR exclude them.

Say I want to make all concrete elements green, and all non-concrete elements red.

Right now I need to make 2 filters: "concrete" & "not concrete", and if 1 needs change, the other needs the exact same change.

 

Why?

- Less filter clutter due to doubles: No more "concrete" & "not concrete" filters.

- Filters would be more flexible but still absolute: Either an object is IN or OUT

- Less hastle when editting filters: No need to edit 2 filters when a change is needed.

 

 

This would also mean allowing for 2x the same filter in 1 view which ofcourse is not possible atm.

Unless having a double filter means that one of the filters is always locked to Invert and the other is not.

In the Visibility Graphics control Dialog, the Filters tab needs the option to INVERT a Filter, and eliminate the need to create two filters for each criterion, one filter that meets, and another that does not.

Looks like there IS life on this planet. After six years, they merged my idea with this one.

This probably means they got around to looking at our ideas. Mind blown 😂
