Filter out of Keynote Legend note(s) displaying the .

[mdhutchinson]

We've created a Keynote Family having two Types - one with a symbol line-work and Key Value and the other with the Keynote Text only.  For Keynotes we decide is to show the second type with only the text, we'd like those notes to not be listed in the legend.

I think I know the answer to this, but...

Aside from implementing a Filter by: Key Value that uses an operator ('begins with', 'ends with' or 'is greater than'). Might there be some tip or trick that would make the Keynote to be removed from the Keynote Legend?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your ask here, but to omit the Keynote Text from the Keynote legend, you’d normally just change to properties of the Legend and remove that field.

So instead of this:

You get this:

Or vice versa, showing just the text and not the keynote number/value.

I notice my Revit also has "parameter exists" as an option. Not sure if that's new for 2018, or if you have it too.

Also, the selections vary a little for the type of parameter, so other types of parameters (like a true/false parameter or integer parameter) will have slightly different options.

Can you create a new parameter in your family, and set it equal to a formula that gives what you want?  For example, a true/false parameter that is only true if the text parameter is not null? 

Something like a parameter called ISKeynoteText and set it equal to IF(Keynote Text = "", 0,1).  Then filter on ISKeynoteText.

Might be worth a try...

This sounds like it holds promise...

I've got a true/false parameter that hinges off the Keynote frame being visible or not visible, and it seems to work as it should when I test it, however, I don't see how to get that parameter accessible to the Keynote Legend Filter by. The dropdown only has Key Value and Keynote Text.

Did you add the parameter to the schedule on the first tab of the schedule properties?   I could be wrong, but I think if it's in the schedule, you should be able to use it in a filter.

On the third or 4 the tab of the schedule properties, you can make the parameter a "hidden field" so it doesn't actually show up on your sheets.
