I Thought also - a syntax for specifying what to snap to - there may be cases where if one is chosen, not to choose the other in a dimensioning language.

 

Where combinations of:

Family categories - all families(filtered per discipline?)

* = all, if * specified without modifiers ALL layers are available for the selection in the order above

 

Sample Subset rules:

  • Rule Set Name/Identifier
    (Description for filter selector under options )
  • Rule 1 / Name
    Description ID (what it does and why)
    • Family(* or blank For all)
      • One of these subset rules     - Once one of these are chosen the category is satisfied and elements removed from selection, and the next rule is execute. Once all rules executed, not more selections for that string+Object allowed.
      • Second choice for subset rule
      • Third choice for subset rule
  • Rule 2 / Name
    Description ID (what it does and why)
    • Family(* or blank For all)
      • One of these subset rules     - Once one of these are chosen the category is satisfied and elements removed from selection
      • Second choice for subset rule
      • Third choice for subset rule

 

Rule sets selectable from the options bar on select or mid-process of dimensioning

Some  rule sets might look like:

  • RULE SET 1: Wall layout dimensions
    WALL Framing Layouts - Tops and Rights
  • Family: Walls. Curtain Walls, Curtain systems
    Snap only to  faces of core for tops and rights in plan
  • RULE 1: Top/Right of core #1
    • Right Face of core
  • RULE 2: Top/Right of core #2
    • Top Face of core

 

 

  • RULE SET 2: ONE face of finish
     Used as a subset in the selection. Face of finish Exterior    (per wall)
  • Family: Walls. Curtain Walls, Curtain systems
  • RULE 1: Exterior face of finish - Once exterior or interior are snapped, no more snaps available for that dimension(string) on that object(wall)
    • Finish 2 - Exterior
    • Finish 1 - exterior

 

 

  • Rule Set 3:
    Faces of Finish
  • Family: Walls. Curtain Walls, Curtain systems
    • RULE1: Clear finish dimensions
    • Finish 2 - Interior
    • Finish 1 - interior
    • RULE2: Clear finish dimensions
    • Finish 2 - Interior
    • Finish1 - interior

 

 

  • Rule Set 4:
    Snap All
  • Family: *              =             apply Tab for everything else
    • Rule1: Snap everything
      •  *    =             apply Tab for everything else
