Filters and Elevation Tags

Time to bring this one back to life.
Has anyone found a decent solution to this issue?
You can hide the marker, but not the circle and view/sheet reference.
Seems to me this should act more like the section cuts. You can filter those without issues.

If you want to use a View Filter to hide Elevations and such, I believe that you have to use the "does not equal" operator. For instance, if you create a Project Parameters ("Type") for Views and enter a value of "A" for some of the Elevations, you'd need to use the filter rule "Type" "does not equal" "A" in order to hide the entire Elevation symbol, and not just the View portion.

I thought so.
I just didn't want to create new additional types for each specific thing I need to filter by.
But alas that's what I ended up doing. Filter by family and type. done.

Hey guys, has anyone come up with a better solution for this issue?

I have a similar issue. (NOTE: this is not a fix. It is just documentation of my problem, and a "Why hasn't this been addressed by AutoDesk sometime in the last 15 years?" question)

I'm wanting the elevations that I've created to appear differently, based on whether they are or are not on a sheet somewhere. I know that I can tell Revit not to print those Elevation Marks that have no referenced sheet, and I know that I can halftone or turn those marks off, but if I try to halftone those marks, it also halftones all of the Elevation Mark Bodies (the circles and squares) regardless of the filter. I really don't want to create different types of Elevations, when Revit should already know when the "Sheet Number" of an Elevation does or does not have a sheet reference.

I've attached a document that spells this issue out pretty well.Problems Filtering Elevations.docx

ALSO:
Wouldn't it be GREAT if:
- Revit allowed you to use an "OR" in its rules, not just "AND".
- If there was a toggle to easily inverse the selection set of a filter.
- If you could use a blank (like a non-character, a special charter, a space, double empty quotes, etc.) to indicate a null value in your "what you are looking for" rules field.
