how to isolate a single element in a linked revit file in revit 2024

[irving.garciaHUXY4]

How can I isolate an element in a linked revit file? I want to isolate the element in magenta which has a mark name under the identity data, so I used a view filter to make it magenta but now I want to just isolate it alone. Any suggestions using an add in or a dynamo script ?

Set a view filter to "does NOT equal" [whatever your criterion is], then use that to turn off visibility for everything which doesn't have the specified criterion.

Thank you so much that worked! This is my first time using filters.

that's a really useful trick in revit, it can work across categories and across links
