For example, MEP engineers make extensive use of the Revit filter tool to control visibility, but with Ideate Explorer those same filters can be leveraged to dramatically enhance element selection within any view. In the image below the Mechanical Supply Filter is being used in conjunction with the Level-based sort, making it easy to quickly view and select only the ducts and fittings that relate to the supply.
Additionally, MEP Engineers can use the Ideate Query tool within Ideate Explorer to Review the Elevation Values to discover quickly if any of the elements have been assigned to the wrong elevation or offset or to sort the project data quickly by the Level or Phase settings.
