Ruleset Exclusions

dothedew

I am trying to modify a rule that excludes any plumbing pipe or fitting diameter less than 6"
I added a line that has these parameters:
Exclude|Any|Diameter|<|6"
Exclude any diameter less than 6"
But I still get clashes on pipes smaller than 6"

Hi. Can you share the model and do those pipes all have diameter calculated when you check their information in Solibri, or are their diameter left empty?

Unfortunately I can’t share this particular model due to US Dept of Defense regulations.
Could you tell me where to look for the diameter per your comment: “do those pipes all have diameter calculated when you check their information in Solibri, or are their diameter left empty”

This is the closest thing I see to diameter of pipe.
See the two screen shots attached.

So the Diameter property cannot be used to filter these, since they don’t have it defined. It is not calculated for all components automatically.

I looked this at the codebase and it seems that only Columns can have the Diameter property defined and for them it comes from the IFC profile and geometry.

So because the Beams do not have the Diameter defined, it cannot be used to filter them.

So what to use instead:
You could use the profile information, but it sadly isn’t available in the classification column definitions.
If the bounding box width is close enough, you can use that.
The last alternative is to use Custom Information API (https://society.solibri.com/topic/563/information-api) to read the information from the profile or calculate it from the geometry and use that. It requires some Java programming skills, though.

If the pipes are having property sets with diameter that should work in your case.
