Objective: In this video and/or step by step walkthrough, you’ll learn another method we can use to assign quantities from Revit elements to VECTOR assemblies using the filters tab
Build Screen
Make sure you are on your Build Screen inside of your VECTOR Bid
Ensure your Page is selected and that it is utilizing a valid filter set and REVIT Elements are appearing on the page
Assemblies
Make sure you have all necessary Assemblies added to your Scenario and your relevant Pages
Filters Tab
Hover your mouse over the Filters Tab on the right-hand side and click once to select it
This will display the structure of the Filter Set that you created and the Filter Manager for this Bid
Basic Wall Family
Under Families, click the plus sign next to Basic Wall to view all the Family types that exist on this page inside the Basic Wall family name
Note: By clicking the Basic Wall Family name all REVIT Elements that belong to that page will be highlighted
Individual Family Type
Click to select an individual Family Type
Only relevant REVIT Elements that belong to that page will be highlighted
Select the matching Assembly for this wall type within the Page
Assign
Once both are selected, hover your mouse over Assign on the right-hand side and click it
You will receive a green toaster menu in the upper right hand corner of the window that confirms this was successful
The color of the selected elements have now changed from blue to orange
This matches the color set for this Assembly and its properties that gives a visual indicator that the quantities have been transferred from the Element to the VECTOR Assembly
On the left-hand side of the page in the Bid Tree, the length of 84.77 lft has been given to this Assembly
Assign a Different Family Type
Click on the Filters Tab
Select a different Family Type
When you click the new Family type, the Elements will also be selected
Assign
Choose the relevant Assembly on the left-hand side
Click Assign
The color of the Elements have now changed and there is an addition in quantity in the Assembly
Assignments at Higher Level
Select a Category
All shapes falling within that Category will become highlighted
For this example we have chosen Doors. As you can see, once Doors is selected all doors will become highlighted
Assign Higher Category
Click Assign
It will ignore already assigned shapes and assign quantities from all Elements that have not yet been mapped
