Dataflow Generate Groups by Geometry

The Generate Groups by Geometry dataflow groups all objects belonging to a specified object class based on their geometry. It automatically analyzes the objects’ 3D geometries and creates an object group for each distinct geometry. These groups are created as child groups under a parent group specified by the user. If the parent group does not exist, it will be created automatically.

This dataflow can be used to ‘drill down’ into the building model by automatically creating a hierarchy of object groups.

Settings

Step Name

Object Class

The class of objects that are grouped by geometry. 

Group Category

The name of the group category to which the parent groups is created. The default value is Generic Group, but it can be changed e.g. to IFC Group.
