search and select by storey

Anonymous

Hi,
Is there any way to search and select by storey?
If I filter the 3D, I can isolate a storey (let's say 2nd floor) and select all in the 3D window.
But having a complex section, some elements of the 3rd floor (walls especially) are also shown into the 2nd floor (wall's plan representation turned to "all relevant stories") and selected.
Annoying if, for example, you want to make a vertical translation only for the 2nd floor's elements (I have to).

You can at least Find and Select by Elevation.
Which means that if you first Select All in your 3D window like you described, then you can filter that (+) or (-) according to Elevation, and that should make possible what you want.

In a perfect world yes.
In this case, I have to change a storey level that was wrongly evaluated and consecutively move down the objects of this storey. In fact, my demand is the outcome of a mess about levels. And into a large survey. So, a search by storey would clean up the mess quite easily. But of course, I am the only one dealing with some junk, right?
Thanks anyway, I'll add a wish, maybe...

You could start by going to that story in the floor plan window and using the single story marquee.

same as filter the 3d. A lot of "+1 storey" are shown because they are turned to "all relevant stories". Even worst AFAIR, the marquee capture -1 stairs.
