Suggestion:
Name: Search:
Brick, unpatterned <Brick & !pattern
Brick, patterned <Brick & pattern
This will create two categories, one for patterned bricks, one for
unpatterned bricks. Most of the printed bricks have pattern in their name,
so most of the printed bricks will be removed this way.
Same thing for Slope Bricks, Tiles, and Panels.
NOTE: Make sure the Name and Search boxes are blank when making a new
category, otherwise you are deleting a category. The boxes are always blank
when you open the menu, so you can add one category, then close it, then
open it again (useful if you're not sure the category did what you wanted it
to). You can also clear them by scrolling to the bottom of the Category
List and clicking the empty space at the bottom. You'll know when you
clicked the empty space when the boxes clear.
