In the following example, the Category option is used and the “ Air Terminal ” Category has been selected.

At this point, clicking “ Update Selection Set ” would add all the Air Terminals in the project to the selection set, however the filter can be further refined using the parameter filters. In this example, the “ Airflow ” parameter will be used to only add Air Terminals with a certain Parameter Value.

Building InformationModeling

Once the Quick Selected settings have been configured click the “ Update selection set ” button to add the elements that fall under the Category to the list.

The “ Selection Set ” windowwill be updated to reflect the results of the selection. In this case, the Air Terminals with Airflow Value 300 L/s are selected in the entire Project. The Air Terminal category has been expanded to show the different families and howmany instances of each exist. The tree view of the selection set can be used to further refine the selection, see below.

Philosophy of Use: It may be desirable to refine a selection with more granularity than can be achieved by a single filter in Quick Select interface or by using Select All Instances in a Viewor in a Project . If additional filtering is needed, adjust the filter as many times as needed, each time applying the changes to the selection set until the desired elements are selected . Watch Video HERE.
