This article discusses how to filter files. The article contains four sections.
- Filtering by file name.
- Filtering by file extension.
- Filtering by folder.
- Turning the filter on and off.
Filtering by filename
You can filter all files in a project that has specific letters for example "yyp". Use the search field. The filter will retrieve all files that contain those three letters in any part of the file name. Special characters such as a percent sign are not required. The filter also searches for upper and lower case letters.
Filtering by file type
You can also search with the file type. For example, surface models and alignment lines by searching .xml or point clouds by searching .las. Note that the search results between .las and las may differ.
.las searches on file extensions.
las searches file type that are .las but also files that has letters las e.g. Lassilan_worksite_file.dwg or vaahtolasikevennys.
Filtering by folder
You can use the filter within a folder, so that the filter only targets files within the folder. Navigate to the folder, e.g. RAT.
Type in the filter you want to use e.g. ifc files.
The filter will only display the ifc files contained in the RAT folder.
Switching the filter on and off
Filtering can be switched on and off by pressing the Filter button below the search field. This will change the filtering of the file list to on and off.
