I am trying to set up a filter to apply to wall sweeps (rubber bases in particular).  Once applied, I would then use view templates to hide all of them in every view except interior elevations and sections.  Is there a way to get the filters to apply to objects when the Wall Sweep Category is not listed in the filter dialogue?  I suppose I could set up a workset for this task, but I would prefer not to do it this way.  Maybe someone else has a better way entirely?

Thank you in advance.

There's another way but it could be somewhat tedious depending on how many wall sweeps you have. I have found if I add a parameter to my project and then select all categories. I can then use it for anything. Example, we had a project with many flat screen tvs and by using the project parameter I typed in 42"TV, then I created a filter from the project parameter that contains 42"TV. From there I was able to add the fitler to my views I didn't want to see the tv's and the one view I wanted to see them I was able to half tone everything but the tv's.

I've also found many more other uses for the project parameter, very useful tool. 

Hope this helps
