System abbreviations can offer a more refined way of filtering elements. In a view,
00:10
there are a number of supplier networks in
00:12
this view that have different system abbreviations,
00:16
the main supply in the corridor has the system abbreviation of GS.
00:24
While the systems in each of the rooms are called FCU dash s
00:33
open the visibility graphics dialog box and create a new filter called FCU systems.
00:46
From the list of categories select all of the options
00:50
for duct including flex duct but not duct systems.
00:55
Also include air terminals
01:02
from the filter rules, select system abbreviation
01:06
and set the statement to equals and select FCU dash s from the list,
01:15
close the dialog box and add the filter as before
01:23
this time, uncheck,
01:25
the visibility option and close the visibility graphics dialog box.
01:30
Here we see all systems with the same abbreviation are
01:34
now controlled by the filter and are no longer visible.
01:42
A more granular approach to using filters with systems
01:46
in rev it is to utilize unique system names,
01:51
open visibility graphics
01:53
and turn on the visibility of the FCU systems filter.
02:01
Next, create a duplicate of that filter and rename it to FCU 01 supply,
02:16
then set the filter rules to system name
02:21
equals
02:23
and FCU 01 supply.
02:27
Then from the list of categories include mechanical equipment
02:37
select, OK and add the filter as before
02:43
uncheck. The visibility option for the new filter
02:46
and a review of the floor plan shows only
02:49
the system named in the filter has been affected,
02:52
providing a finer level of control over the appearance
02:55
and the visibility of the systems in your R

creating and using filters to control elements

by specific characteristics as covered in this video

03:09
that include improved visualization when coordinating services in busy areas,
