# Mapping Quantities: Using Filters

**Objective**: In this video and/or step by step walkthrough, you’ll learn how to map quantities using the filters tab in The EDGE from a VECTOR exported bid

            [https://vectortakeostg.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Mapping-Quantities-Using-Filters.mp4](https://vectortakeostg.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Mapping-Quantities-Using-Filters.mp4)

#### Project Conditions

On the **Takeoff** screen in the **Project Conditions** pane, left click the project condition you'd like to start mapping quantities to

For this example we left click on **USG 2x4 Acoustic System** to select it

In the middle pane, left click the drop down arrow by **Choose Page**

For this example we will choose **Ceiling Plan - Level 1**

The sheet now loads in with the background image in the middle pane

#### Filter Name Section

- On the right-hand side in the **Filter Name** section, left click the drop down arrow next to **Families**
- Left click again next to **Family Types**

Locate the **Family Type** containing data that matches with his condition which for this example would be our 2x4 ft acoustical system

Left click the **Apply Filter** box

#### Assign

Now, all **Revit** elements belonging to that family type been highlighted on the screen

The **assign** button is now highlighted and we can left click to begin the mapping

#### Mapping

The mapping of our quantities has taken place as square footage (SF), lineal footage (LF) and segment terminators (ST)

Note: When mapping in this functionality:

- We did not need to set the **Condition**
- The**Map to** automatically read we were working in an area condition and changed to SF
- Scope was kept at the page level

#### DW Ceiling Condition

For this example:

- Left click on the **DW Ceiling Only** condition
- Left click in the middle background image to refresh the pane

**![](https://vectortakeostg.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Screenshot_8-1.jpg)Note: Condition, Map To and Scope** fields are already set

- Left click **Families**
- Left click **Family Types**
- Left click the **Apply Filter** box next to **GWB on Mtl. Stud**
- Left click **Assign** to map both shapes

#### Pages Pane

For this example, we are focusing on the **Pages** pane

We selected the **Level 2 Ceiling Plan**

Under Conditions, select the **USG 2x4 Acoustical System**

Note: Because we are not in the Project Conditions pane, and don't see a PC label, we know this is a normal condition

![](https://vectortakeostg.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Screenshot_10-1.jpg)

Note: Condition, Map To & Scope Fields are automatically set

- Left click **Families**
- Left click **Family Types**
- Left click **Apply Filter** for 2x4 ACT System
- Left click **Assign**

The quantities for both ceilings have now been mapped to the page
