Tool for trimming the name of groups. This tool is useful when you want to trim for example an unwanted prefix from the name of type objects (which are groups in Simplebim)
Configuration Options
Because this tool needs to be configured it can only be run from a template. This tool is not visible in the Tools drop-down menu of the ribbon.
| Key | Type | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| TARGET | Choice | Defines the target of the operation, i.e. the groups that might be deleted by the tool. For example TARGET=ZONE specifies that only groups mapped to IfcZone may be deleted. | |
| ALL | Default. All groups. | ||
| GROUP | Groups mapped to IfcGroup. | ||
| ASSET | Groups mapped to IfcAsset. | ||
| INVENTORY | Groups mapped to IfcInventory. | ||
| SYSTEM | Groups mapped to IfcSystem. | ||
| BUILDINGSYSTEM | Groups mapped to IfcBuildingSystem. | ||
| DISTRIBUTIONSYSTEM | Groups mapped to IfcDistributionSystem. | ||
| DISTRIBUTIONCIRCUIT | Groups mapped to IfcDistributionCircuit. | ||
| ZONE | Groups mapped to IfcZone. | ||
| <Object Class> | This option is used for deleting type objects. For example the value WALL sets the target to types of IfcWall. NOTE: It is possible to delete also type objects with this tool because internally type objects are handled as groups in Simplebim. |
||
| REGEX | Text | The regular expression that selects the part of the group name that you want to trim (remove). |
Examples – ‘ABC’ removes ‘ABC’ from anywhere within the name of the group – ‘^ABC’ removes ‘ABC’ from the beginning of the name of the group – ‘ABC$’ removes ‘ABC’ from the end of the name of the group – ‘^(ABC)d{1,3}$’ removes ‘ABC’ from the beginning of the name of the group, but only if ‘ABC’ is followed by 1-3 digits after which there are no more characters in the name. |
