On the WBS tab, select a WBS item. If the work packages under the selected WBS item have model elements, you can see them in the 3D space. |
Based on their properties, such as area, code, volume, etc. |
On the Advanced tab, define a condition using the model element and related property. If there are model elements that meet the condition, you can see them in the 3D space. You can add multiple conditions. |

-
On the Levels tab, select only the first floor.
You can see that only the model elements on the first floor are visible in the 3D space.
-
On the Advanced tab, click Add and select Column from the Classification list.
-
From the Property list box, select Family.
-
From the Condition list, select contains.
-
For Value, type round.
-
Click Apply.
You can see that only the round columns on the first level are visible in the 3D space.
-
Similarly, you can combine the filters and see only those model elements that you want to see.
-
You can save an applied filter by clicking Save .
