Logic for Shape or layer filtering

[rdadez]

Greetings,

I have created a diagram with a layer called "system" that contains shapes that are my physical servers
I have created a second layer that contains logical "database server" shapes
I have created a third layer that contains logical "app server" shapes
I have created layers for each landscape development, QA and Prod

I can make system and landscape QA visible and it will show the physical servers and all QA servers both app and database type

I need to be able to show just the db servers in a landscape or just the appserver in a landscape layer

How would I do that?

Visio allows to allocate a shape to several different layers. Would it help, if you allocate your DBs, not only to the DB layer, but also to a specific landscape?
I don't know how big your drawings are and if you create them  programmatically or by hand.
Switching the visibility of a Landscape, would show or hide the corresponding DBs.
