I have created a couple truss families and would like the ability to control their visibility when creating structural framing plans. The native families such as beams, columns etc. allow you to select purlin, joist and a couple other options in Properties under the Structural using the Structural Usage options when inserting a structural family.

 

Is there an ability to add that function to families I create?

 

Using Revit 2021.

if you only want to have control over some elements visibility, maybe add a parameter to the type of element, fill it with whatever you want, then use a filter.

hope this helps
