From the Revit Structure Wishlist:

How about a filter that works similar to quick select in AutoCAD. Allow you to filter objects by properties or type. Seems like walls, framing, foundations, etc. is a little to general when filtering. I would like to select all 2'-0" wide footings, all column footings, hss shaped beams, joist only, etc. However the use of the current filter is helpful, just needs fine tunning. |
