Group Delete
This tool is part of Simplebim Prototypes addon. In order to use the tool, you need to download and install the addon from here.
Tool for deleting groups of a given type that have a name that matches a given pattern. This tool is useful for deleting groups that you don’t need, which makes IFC file sizes smaller and speeds up operations inside Simplebim.
| 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. | ||
| PATTERN | Text | The pattern the name of the target group must match to be deleted. | Default = * |
