Filter elements only in Assemblies

[fdkuenneke]

Hello,

I am aware of the ability to filter by element properties as normal, but is there a supported method to filter only the elements found in assemblies? Furthermore, if this is not possible normally is there a workaround to accomplish this in the API?

Thanks for any responses.

Elements inside an assembly have a parameter "Assembly Name" which you can use in a filter. Will that not work for you?

If you need additional options you could look into using Dynamo

Not exactly (Although that is helpful),

I was hoping for a method to isolate or select multiple families (Drains / Pipe Accessories, in this case) without needing to individually select each one.

Dynamo would be a viable option if this isn't natively possible (although I'd have to dust off my Python coding!).

You probably will not need Python (immediately) when using Dynamo. It is a visual scripting tool, so most can be done by connecting nodes without the need for Python.
