BIM Q&A | Is the Rule-Based Filter in Revit Being Tested?

In Revit, you can add filters to views to manage visibility and graphical overrides effectively.

The filtering interface is well-developed, allowing users to create and customize various filters with ease.

Moreover, this interface is accessible via the API, enabling developers to programmatically create and apply filters.

This functionality greatly enhances workflow efficiency.

For more details, please refer to the FilterDialog documentation.

Here is a simple example demonstrating how to add a filter to the current view using the FilterDialog:

Document doc = commandData.Application.ActiveUIDocument.Document;

FilterDialog myDialog = new FilterDialog(doc, "test");

myDialog.Show();

ElementId filterId = myDialog.NewFiltered;

View v = doc.ActiveView;

Transaction trans = new Transaction(doc, "test");

trans.Start();

v.AddFilter(filterId);

trans.Commit();
