3.6 Classification System

Description:

“3.6 Classification System” is a system used to categorize and organize elements within a model according to various classification standards or coding systems. This system helps in identifying, sorting, and managing building components or construction elements efficiently. “3.6 Classification System” are crucial for integrating Revit models with other systems, ensuring consistency in documentation, and facilitating data exchange between different software applications.   

The tool “3.6 Classification System” for classification codes offers a solution for efficiently and easily filling in classification codes for all elements in a model. It opens with a simple click of the button “3.6 Classification System”. It significantly boosts engineers’ productivity while ensuring high-quality results.  

The following sections will explain all the elements within the “3.6 Classification System” tab, which is located in the “Parameter Setter” window. 

  1. The “Parameter Name” filed allows the user to specify the parameter name where classification codes will be entered. When the plug-in opens, the parameter name will be generated by default, but the user can easily change it.
  2. “Standard” and “Use System Types” allows the user to choose the method for entering classification codes. If the user chooses the “Use Custom” option, we will be able to select the desired classification code from a drop-down menu, depending on which year’s list we choose (2005. or 2019.).
  3. “Use System Types” this option, allows the user to select classification codes based on the system. Additionally, the user can choose which year’s list want to use.
  4. “Choose Classification Code from list 2005/2019” allows the user to choose which year’s classification code list they want to use.
  5. If “Only number” option is check, the “Value” field will show only the numeric value of the classification code, without the accompanying text.
  6. The field “Value” shows the value that will be entered into the corresponding table. It can be either just a number or a number with accompanying text, depending on the user’s needs.
  7. With the “Run” option, we initiate the action, but only when we are sure that all fields have been  filled out as desired.
  8. When user hover the mouse cursor over the “info” icon, an informational tooltip will appear, providing a brief description of the purpose and functionality of this tab. This tooltip is designed to help you quickly understand the main purpose of the tab and its key options, thereby enhancing navigation and easing the use of the application.
  9. The “Feedback” button enables users to leave feedback if there are any issues encountered while using the tool. By clicking the “Feedback” button, a window opens in the browser where the user needs to sign in with their email. Afterward, they will receive a form where they can describe the type of issue.
