Details on Select Components with Filter

Information about Select components with filter in the Edit tab.

The component filter allows you to select a group of components subject to certain criteria, for example, all pipes of the sanitary trade of a certain storey. The selected elements are then marked and can be processed further.

The filters are set in the left-hand side of the dialog box. This depends on the settings of the layer key. In the example shown above, the layer key does not contain a variable for systems. Therefore, the System dropdown list is grayed out. For more information on editing the layer key, see Change layer key.
