Filling a family by Filter

[marco_morazzini]

Hi all,

I have an electrical equipment object and I would like to fill the surface using a filter. 

I applied a filter but I do not see any change(already tried to disable the other filters, but not worked) 

Can you suggest me some points to check? As well modifying the family.

Thanks,

[RSomppi]

Can you be more specific about what you have, what you want, and what you've tried?

Sharing the family would help tremendously.

Hi, 

I have this object

And It should be filled by blue colour.

I tried to do that applying a specific filter to the object but It does not work. 

I turn off all the filters applied and tried to have a look at the Visibility settings but I have not found a possible solution.

Can you please give me some more options to consider?

Not without more information.

That sounds more like a family editing issue than a filter issue. Have you tried editing the family and adding a annotative region?

Can you check a few things:

View Discipline

Filter rules

Filter VG settings (including whether or not the surface has a solid fill applied)

Does the family have an embedded family of a different Category

View Range (is this cut or surface)

Here is how I have mine set...

The family need a surface or a filled region visible for the filter to work.  Share it if you are not sure.
