hsbBOMLink | Groups

Group

A group is defined so a type entity can be assigned to it. This defines area to create a rule based on the type. Groups are based on a certain type. A group will contain 1 or multiples expressions, all based on the type that has been chosen on group level.

Add Group Add a group if you need to create a new set of rules, based on a certain type. First click on add group, select a type.
Add Rule Add an expression or beam type rule after you created or selected a group.
Delete Delete a complete group or a rule.
Name Name of group.
Move to Gives you the list of possible groups where you can move this rule to.
Move up – down Moving up or down a formula, influences the process all functionality.
Debug Visualize the rulesetpreview functionality.

Type

There are various types available in hsbBOMLink.

None Create rules based on entire model and not to any one particular entity.
Analysed Tools
Beam Create rules based on beams.
ElementLog Create rules based on Log elements.
ElementRoof Create rules based on stickframe roof elements.
ElementRoofSip Create rules based on sip roof elements.
ElementWallSip Create rules based on sip wall elements.
ElementWallStickFrame Create rules based on wall stickframe elements.
ERoofPlane Create rules based on roof planes.
Hardware Create rules based on hardware components.
OpeningRoof Create rules based on stickframe floor and roof.
Openings Create rules based on openings unrelated to elements.
OpeningStickFrame Create rules based on opening in stickframe walls, whilst still giving you access to stickframe parameters.
Sheet Create rules based on sheets.
Sip Create rules based on sip/clt panels.
TsInstance Create rules based on TSL parameters.
Wall Connections Create rules based on wall junctions.

Rule

Once a group is defined with a type, a rule is created based on that type to get an output.

The rules can be:

Beamtype Rule Only possible in the type Beam. The Beam Rule matches standard beam sections and lengths and makes it possible to switch the Length / Width of a beam.
Expression Rule Based on the type parameters selected.

Filter Expression

Create the highest level filtering on the data of the type selected. This will also enhance the performance output within hsbBOMLink. An example of this below is using the type ElementWallStickframe with a filter on walltypes to use only walls with 'External' set in the Alias manager. The advantage of this filter is that all other data is now discarded so that the expression rule will now only analyse a finite amount of data, thus a faster performance.

In the filter expression also comments can be used when there are multiple filtering rules. Using // for a complete comment rule, or /* comment */ for commenting words in a filtering rule.

Adding additional comments to the filters

Process All

This will process every rule in the type, on the complete data available in hsbcad Modelx.

By default hsbBOMLink processes each expression/beam rule by order, starting with the first rule, analysing the data and if true removing the data from the selection analysis and made ready to be outputted. The next rule is then processed, on the data that is remaining.

Switching on 'Process all' will process the first rule on all the data in hsbcad Modelx, making ready the data to be outputted, then it wil process the next rule, again based on all the data in hsbcad Modelx at the beginning.
