    This white paper discusses how to use filters in Autodesk Revit Structure to highlight unconnected nodes in an analytical model. It provides a 3-step process: [1] Create a new filter called "Unconnected Analytical Nodes" and set the filter rules to connect status equals unconnected; [2] Add the new filter; [3] Override the line color to red to highlight the unconnected nodes. Using this filter makes it easier to identify unconnected nodes that cannot be analyzed.

    Using Filters To Highlight Unconnected Nodes


    On Analytical Model
    Autodesk Revit Structure

    How using filters on a analytical model to help indicate all the unconnected nodes.

    Filters
    Filters are a great way to override the graphic display and control the visibility of elements which share a common properties
    within a view in Revit model.

    When in an analyital model you may notice that the nodes which are unconnected show the same colour as the connected ones
    which does make it difficult to pick out which is which. If you are going to export the model out for analysis to Robot Structural
    Analysis or any other analysis program, its not going to be able to analysis beams or columns which aren’t connected. So I am
    going show you how using a filter can help you see all the unconnected nodes in your model.

    Creating a Filter

    To create a filter we need to go the Ribbon View (tab) > Graphics > Filters.

    Another alternative is to access filters through the Visibility Graphics dialog window. To open the Visibility Graphics you can

    either use the keyboard shortcut keys VV or VG, from the Ribbon View (tab) > Graphics > Visibility/Graphics. Also from the
    properties window.

    In the Visibility Graphics dialog window you will see a Filters tab. This is were you can add, remove and apply filters to you
    views.

    To create a new Filter select the Edit/New icon. (As shown in below image).

    1. To create new filters click New.


    2. Type the name of the filter, for example ‘Unconnected Analytical Nodes’. It will then aappear in the Filters column on
    the left hand side. The press OK.
    a. Note: Make sure you name relevant to what its being used it for.
    3. Now under the Categories section you need to apply it to the catrgories, so we need to select Analyitcal Nodes.
    4. The Filter Rules you need to filter by Connection Status. Then just below select the Filter Rulings in theis case we are
    going to use equals. Finally the field below select Unconnected.
    5. The filter is now done so select OK.

    To add the filter select the Add icon on the bottom left hand side. (As shown in below image)

    The Add Filters dialog box will appear on screen and your new filter should be list, select Unconnected Analytical Nodes, then
    click OK. The filter should now appear in the Filters list. (As shown in below image)

    Note: the Visibility should be selected automatically but its not you need to click to apply.

    To apply the filter select the Overrides button for Lines (As shown in below image). It will open the Graphics dialog box, where
    you can select the Line Graphics dialog box either Line Weight, Colour or Pattern.

    As you will see in the above image I have selected the Colour RED to highlight all unconnected analyitical nodes.

    If you select OK on Line Graphics dialog box. Then to apply the filter to the view you can either click Apply then OK, or just OK.
    Then see the filter applied in your view.

    I hope you have found this White Paper usefull and its give you a better insight to using Filters in Revit.
