Relations, Filter by relation, Rule 231

[Ilona C.T.]

Hi Solibrians,

I would like to check certain windows/doors according to the space they are related to. I try to extract the elements I need to check using 231 as a gatekeeper rule, without any success. I m not sure whether it’s even possible or not.

Since classification does not allow relations, I have a manual workaround to select certain objects related. But I need a solution totally automatized.

Could you help please whether there is a rule or automatized workaround to filter elements according to relations?

Thanks in advance
Ilona

Hi @Ilona-C-T

Here is an example of checking Office Doors that uses Rule 231 to send Doors that have a nearest space with spaces named “office” to have further checks in sub rules:
Solibri Building_Office Doors.smc

The 231 Gatekeeper checks the door has at least 1 space that has the name office and sends those that pass the check to the sub rules of the gatekeeper:

Also related, if you want to find distances of components in the same space, the component distance rule has a specifically to set for that:

If you still have problems, can you upload an example?

Hi @john-lipp!

Thank you very much for the explanation and for sending the .smc with the exact settings.
I tested it and it seems working! I am more than happy

Many thanks!
Have a great day!
