Hide those Unreferenced View Tags

This is a quick tip for hiding unreferenced section, elevation and callout tags in a view in Revit 2011:
  • Go to 'Filters' on the 'View' Tab

  • Create a new filter called 'Model Views' and set 'Define Criteria'

  • Under Categories, check 'Callouts', 'Elevations' & 'Sections'

  • Under Filter Rules, set Filter by 'Sheet Number'. Select 'does not contain' from the drop down box and leave the box under that blank


  • Click apply & ok. Now go to the view you want to hide the tags. Go to Visibility/Graphics, select the 'Filters' tab and add the filter. Uncheck the 'Visibility' box and click ok. To switch the unreferenced tags back on, simply go into v/g again and check the box

I realise this is an old post, however still a useful trick. But, I can't seem to get this filter to work in Revit 2016 or 2017, even using OOTB Structural analysis templates, what changed?

Hi Ian
There was a change between 2015 and 2016
Set the 'Sheet Number' to 'Less than' and enter 0. That should work.

Does this still work in 2020?

Just tried in Revit 2020 using the rule "Sheet Number less than 0" as Darren Snook suggested and it worked.
