I would like to create a filter to apply to the view template for many plan views to allow me to turn off the floor surface pattern on all levels below.

I only see a way to create a filter choosing all levels below a specific level, and I want it to be below 'current' level.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks

I don't think that you can do that.  I would suggest excluding V/G Filter overrides.  Then create a filter for each level and apply that to the views.  You might consider grouping your sheet View Category by level, and then apply the filter to those views.

Oh well. thanks, i did this. just takes longer than i would have liked.

Is it possible to create a filter that you can filter walls that have been demolished?  I don't see an option like that

Thank a lot for your help.

Yes, you can do that.  For a schedule - see attached.

If you mean in the view, you can control it with the phase filters and graphic overides.

I would like this is the views.

I have demolished walls on many levels, and I use the view range in view depth to see everything below the level that I am on.  But the view depth just uses the line 'beyond' and wont show a demolished wall. The demolished wall appears also as a 'beyond' line.  

I thought to use a filter to override that 'beyond' setting.

Any suggestions?

Thank you !

You will be able to set the levels below to their normal linestyles if you set the Bottom of the Primary Range to control the depth, rather than the view depth which will show lines as beyond for everything below the Bottom plane.
