BIM Software Tip: Setting the Priority of Revit Visibility Filters
During the Revit design process, the visibility filter function is frequently used to control how components are displayed within a view. When components fall under multiple filters, their display depends on the priority order of these filters. Let’s explore how to set this priority effectively.
Using air ducts as an example, first, draw two sections of ductwork—one of which is a supply air duct, as shown in the image below:
Next, set up two filters: one for all ducts and another specifically for the supply duct system. Place the filter for all ducts at the top of the list, as illustrated:
With this setup, the air ducts will appear styled as follows:
Now, switch the positions of the filters by moving the supply air duct filter to the top, above the all ducts filter:
This change results in the following display style:
From these steps, it’s clear that the display priority of filters depends on their order in the filter settings. Components controlled by the filter positioned at the top will have their properties displayed first, followed sequentially by filters lower down the list.
