The “Filter by system” plugin allows you to fill in the system name text parameter for all engineering families, including nested families. As this is the main problem in Revit, that the nested families in Revit is not automatically filled in the system parameter “System Name”, and therefore can not be used correctly as a filter for views and specifications.
To make the plugin work, it must first be configured.
1.We check the box if you want to use the recommended BimStep parameters. In this case, the plugin will make further settings by itself.
2. We select the text parameter, which we will use to fill in the system name for families. 3.
3. If you want to still record the working set in some parameter - select it here.
4. If it is necessary to also record “System Reduction” in some text parameter - select it here.
Running the plugin

Eventually, the plugin will take the values of system parameters and write them to selected common text ones, both by parent families and nested ones.
