nothing was selected after the
Dynamo script and the script
reported that the number of
elements that could be selected
by the given criteria was zero...
What actually happened? The
criterion in the Dynamo script
("Node" code block = tree;) for
element selection in the BIM
model was set to search for all
elements containing the word
"tree" in its name.
The presenter typed "tre" in the
name of its element - a tree - and
made a mistake in naming the
element. It turns out that the
script looked for BIM elements -
trees named "tree", but in the
BIM model used in the
presentation, there was no such
element.
The reason is that the element
tree in the BIM model is called
"tre" by mistake of the BIM
modeler. Therefore, since no
element met the criteria of the
predefined filter for the selection
of the BIM element tree – „tree“,
therefore the tree could not even
be selected.
If we analyze this problem from a
purely human - common sense,
not programming or automation
perspective, we come to the
paradoxical situation that the
object we see on screen is a tree.
So we want to select a tree and
know what a tree is in the BIM
model, but scripts and
automation tools do not allow us
to select all trees in the model by
a given criterion, for procedural
reasons.
I hope this very simple example,
in a picturesque and easy to
understand way, explains the
importance of the BIM modelling
convention above all, and the
predefined BIM element naming
convention in a BIM discipline
model and multidisciplinary BIM
environment, and then the
accuracy of data entry and filter
use that give you the ability to
visualize data from the BIM
discipline model and
multidisciplinary BIM data.
And about the data visualization
from the BIM discipline model
and the multidisciplinary BIM
environment, more in the
following articles…
Can The BIM
Modelling
Convention Become
Part Of The BIM
Standard?
The question posed does not
require a vast BIM knowledge
and experience, but is a more
common sense question. If we
look at the entire history of the
human civilization development,
it is clear that the very beginnings
