I created an Egress Drawing that "kind of" updates automatically as the SF of the areas change...

Its necessary for the retail work im doing right now. 6 people in the model, the demise walls keep moving, and for various reasons, i had to use an Area plan instead of a Floor plan with rooms.

Anyway, i made a simple Area schedule.

Now i want to filter out the "Building Common Areas" so im only left with the "stores," but although it is a field in my schedule, i am not able to select it under Filter.

Any idea why?

I don't know the reason that some parameters are unavailable in the filter command, but you can work around by using a comments or description field, manually add a key by which to filter, and then apply the filter.

That definitely sounds like a wishlist item.
