Checking / Validating Parameters

thudelicious

Hi,

I am trying to find some best practices for validating parameter values in BIM projects. Up to now I have used ITO to export values from Solibri and then used Excel / Power BI to define the criterias. Mainly because I find the available operators to be limiting. Am I missing something? - Or is it possible to check for instance the length of a parametervalue, if it begins with a certain character etc? Ideally it would be great if it was possible to define custom operators to do more precise validation of the actual values. Is there any plans for this? Would be interesting if it was possible to use RegEx expressions directly in the rules, is this a feature that is being considered to implement?

With matches operator you can use limited expressions:

? = any single character

= any number of characters

e.g.

"Floor-???"
"Start*"
"*End"

Depending on parameter options to select diferent operator. (length, area, volume)

also using wildcards ? and * in text values. (mark, type name etc.)
