Class filters

[AlanW]

Can i create a filter without adding tags?

Can i also edit a current filter and add items to it and remove some.

Can i do this with and without adding tags to classes?

I would like to be able to select random classes and create a filter from the selected classes.

 

May have answered this by viewing the Layering and class filtering from University VW tutorials. (Only with tags)

 

Would Love to be able to just select a few classes and make a filter from them.

 

Regards

I'm not sure I understand this question. Filters are created based on criteria you select... name, tags or current visibility.

 

I suppose if you want specific classes that don't share name characteristics, then tags would be the only method. That still seems easier then manually adding classes to a filter by choosing them from a list.

 

Create a filter based on the tag "Filter-A". Select the classes, add the "filter-A" tag. In this manner, you can easily remove and add classes to that filter by adding and removing that tag. As a software engineer, this would be a much easier feature to implement—and more beneficial.

only by making sure they match/don't match the criteria

Use tags, it is the easiest way....
