Find elements

Search for elements by filter and grouping into sets.

Finds elements in the model using a filter that can include multiple search terms. Found elements can be combined into groups - Search sets.

Interface:

File - working with files that include saved search terms

• Import - loads the selected .json file into the project with the search conditions previously saved into it
• Export - saves search terms into a separate .json file

Range - selection area of the elements in the model

• Project - whole project
• Active view - only elements in the active view
• Selection - only selected elements

Filter - a field for adding search terms

Actions with search terms:

1. There are two options for adding:

- right-click on an empty field and select "Create"

- click on the "Add condition" button

2. To delete, right-click on the line and select "Delete"

To delete multiple lines, select lines using Shift or Ctrl + A

3. To move, place the cursor on the required line and hold down the left mouse button and drag up or down

Element selection principle

1. If necessary, select only by category

start entering needed element name in the "Category" column, after entering the first letters, recommendations will appear

2. If necessary, select only by parameter

start entering parameter name in the "Parameter" column, after entering the first letters, recommendations will appear
Note: it is possible to search according to the Category + Parameter principle.

3. "Condition" allows you to select the following values:

= equally
> more	>= more or equal
< less	<= less or equal
Contains
Begin with	Ends on

4. Inversion allows you to invert the condition

not= not equal
not> not more	not>= not more or equal
not< not less	not<= not less or equal
not Contains
not Begin with	not Ends on

5. "Value" enter the exact text or numeric value of the parameter

For Yes / No parameters, enter a number:
1	Yes
0	No

6. Empty columns - the ability to put brackets
   Example: (Value1 and Value2) or (Value3 and Value4)
7. "Save filter" saves the search terms in a group - filter for future use
8. "Remove filter" removes previously saved filters
9. "Search" searches for elements based on specified search terms
