Hi.  
I want to add a new filter in storefront just like the manufacturer, color, length etc. How do I do that?

You have to create a property in the backend, associate it with a product and shopware will do the rest.

Did you assign this filter to any product? Only filters that are in use are displayed in the storefront.
