2.4 - Filter selection

The Filter Selection

If you want to exclude many features it can be a lot of work. You can do this with a Filter Selection, which works the same as an Exclude but is very useful if you want to exclude a lot of features.

With a Filter Selection you only select the features (on a certain level) that you want to be visible. The other features are not shown.

Setting up Filter Selection

In our training we work with a limited number of Features because it would be a lot of work to create all of them. But the effect is exactly the same if you apply this to multiple Features.

1. Create a Feature called Tires by clicking on the plus sign of Roadmaster 100.

2. Give this Feature the relationship type Mandatory

3. Drag the Feature so that it is between the features toolbox and Wheel caps.

4. Under the Feature Tires, add the Features: Tire 1 and Tire 2, both with the relationship type Alternative.

1. Click on the fourth digit behind Tire 1.

2. In the window that now appears select Wheel cap 1 to 3.

3. Click on "save".

Assignment

Now set up another Filter Selection for Tire 2 where Wheel cap 4 through 6 are selected.
