How to match a part of a parameter in Autodesk Model Checker Configurator?

[marcus.asp]

Hi,

I started to use Autodesk Model Checker Configurator for Revit for a while ago and I’ve been set up a couple of checks to check my models. I used RegEx for some of the checks so I am familiar with that. But now I am stuck with this final check, so I ask the question here.

I wonder if it´s possible to set up a check that matches another parameter but just a part of its value. Let me show you an example with room parameters. See the image below. 

I want to check if this parameter called ‘Rumsnummer’ matches the last three or four character in the parameter Number.

In Autodesk Model Checker Configurator, you can match RegEx and you can match another parameter. But can you do both in same filter? Or get around the problem in some other way?

Thanks!

Hi @marcus.asp 

interesting question, I don't see a way how to do it in the Model Checker, but it is certainly somethign you could do with Dynamo. 

You would first need to read the Rumsnummer, then read the number, extract the last 3 digits and then compare the two values. You can find useful tips on this in the Dynamo Primer: https://primer.dynamobim.org/04_The-Building-Blocks-of-Programs/4-3_logic.html and of course the Dynamo Forum: https://forum.dynamobim.com/

Best,

Hi,

I assumed this was the case. 

I've never used Dynamo but maybe I should give it a try. 

Thank you for your answer!
