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(searhgIn, 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 c. 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. Is Null(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 mapx 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 path 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 | |
