Hee everybody, I have a little question. I want to filter the walls that are fire resistant “brandwerend”. If the walls are filtert, i want the to gif them a different color. The only thing that is difficult is filter the walls If the fire resistant is on YES, i need them a color. The color part I found on the tab Help --\> Sampels --\> Color ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/9/d/9d8f2c24663d8cc0b1eddc9b2c3a892e4b2332a9.png) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/0/5/055fccf331544f1394cf5ee4d2dba6c198a23749.PNG) ---

Hello, this could help you to filter your list: > [@Filter by Structural Usage](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/filter-by-structural-usage/8749): > > I am sure I am just having a hard time since it is still early in the morning, but I want to filter all Structural Framing members in a specific view by Structural Usage. I want to select all framing members that have a Structural Usage that has been set to “Other”. Just having a hard time this morning. ---

Thanks @Yna_Db The seccond question is. How could I get the original wall back? Because if the wall isn’t fire resistant any more, he will stay red. ---

I know that you marked the answer already, but I honestly think you should not be using Element Override for this. This is a clear cut case of creating and applying a view filter that would make everything much easier. It would require no Dynamo and roughly 10 min to implement. This might be a perfect example of where person that holds a hammer (Dynamo) sees every problem as a nail (something to be solved by Dynamo). There is clearly a non-computational solution to your problem that OOTB Revit provides. Why not use it?
