Variable

Syntax: v.variablename

Example: if(V.Perimeter_External_Opening >0, V.Perimeter_External_Opening/1000,0) + if(V.modelLength>0, V.modelLength,0)

To access all type of variables created in the Definitions, Sources and the User Defined.

Model

Syntax: m.modeltypeExample: m.Type = 'Header' and Eq(m.Width, 44, 0.1) and m.Height <= 219To access all model information based on the group type, sheeting, beams, roofs, etcSuch as : SolidLength, Width, Height, Material, Name, Grade, Label, Sublabel, Beamcode, etc...

Project

Syntax: p.projecttypesetting
Example: p.DrawingPropertiesTo access all hsbcad Project-settings information.Such as : Name, Number, Street, DwgPath, ComputerName, etc....

Inventory

Syntax: i.inventoryitemExample: if(m.Height = '12.5',i.Code='GYP-EGL-FR-12.5',i.code='GYP-EGL-FR-2.7-15')To access all the items in the inventory list. Such as : Code Field, Description Field, UOM Field, or other inventory columnheader.

Used functions

The functions will only show if they can be used in the group type.

To access the list:

StartWith	Indicates that a string starts with another string. `StartsWith(searchIn, searchFor)` example `StartsWith(m.Name,'Elephant')`
Contains	Indicates that a string contains another string. `Contains(searchIn, searchFor)` `Contains(m.Material,'Pin')`
Eq	Tolerance equals. Returns true or false. `Eq(a, b, t) Eq(a, b)` a is compared against b, with tolerance t. If the tolerance is not specified, 0.001 is used. `Eq(m.SolidWidth, 38, 0.001)`
IsNull	Tests for null in a value. Returns true or false. `IsNull(property)` `IsNull(m.ExtrProf)`
Concatenate or C	Concatenates strings. `C('One','Two','Three')`
Section	Creates a Section for beam section comparison. In the beam context the beam’s Section property can be tested. `m.Section=Section(56,32)`
Map	Returns values from the Map of GenBeam or TSL. `Map(mapkey, defaultvalue)` Note: The default value is returned if the map key does not exist. `Map('MyMap.SubMap.Key',23)`
MapX	Returns values from the MapX data of any entity. `MapX(mapkey, defaultvalue)` Note: The default value is returned if the map key does not exist. `MapX('MyMap.SubMap.Key',23)`
PropertySet	Returns values from the Property sets of any entity. `PropertySet(propertyset key, defaultvalue)` Note: The default value is returned if the propertyset key does not exist. `PropertySet('MyMap.SubMap.Key',23)`
Alias or A	Returns the alias value. If the aliasSetName is not specified, the default Alias Set is used. `Alias(m.Number,WallType)='ExternalWall'`
HasPropertySet	Indicates whether the specified property set exists. `HasPropertySet('MyPropertySet.Length')`

Mathematical Expressions:

in	Returns whether an element is in a set of values. `in(m.Code,'AB','AD','CC')`
if	Returns a value based on a condition. `if( v.LengteLuifel>=3500,1,0)`
Round	Rounds a value to the nearest integer or specified number of decimal places. `Round(m.Length/500,0)`
Ceiling
Floor
Max
Min
Sign
Truncate
