In This Topic

The model view worksheet has the following sections

Section	Description
Include/Exclude Objects Based on Object Class or Group	In this section you can include and exclude objects based on their object class or membership in a group.
Include/Exclude Property	In this section you can include and exclude properties from Object Classes.
Set Object Color and Transparency Based on Object Class or Group	In this section you can set the 3D appearance of objects, i.e. their color and transparency.

Include/Exclude Objects Based on Object Class or Group -section

In this section you can include and exclude objects based on their object class or membership in a group. You could for example exclude all furniture or include all objects in a ‘Building Envelope’ group. See the Groups –worksheet chapter of this guide for more information about groups.

If you want to start with a clean slate, use the special value 'All' for Object or Group on the first row. This will exclude all objects in the model. Then you can start including the objects you really need.

The following object classes cannot be excluded via templates: Project, Site, Building and Building Storey

Field	Value	Description
Object or Group [+]	Text	The name or identity key of the Object Class, or the name of the Group. The special value 'All' will apply the operation to all Object Classes.
Include	Yes/No	Include the objects in the Object Class or Group? Leaving the cell empty will set the applicable objects into the 'Not decided yet' state Setting the background color of this cell will set that color as the 3D Appearance of the applicable objects.

Include/Exclude Property -section

In this section you can include and exclude properties from Object Classes.

If you want to start with a clean slate, use the special value 'All' for both Object and Property on the first row. This will exclude all properties for all objects. Then you can start including the properties you really need.

Field	Value	Description
Object [+]	Text	The name of identity key of the Object Class. The special value 'All' will apply the operation to all Object Classes.
Property [+]	Text	The name of identity key of the property. The special value 'All' will apply the operation to all properties of the applicable Object Classes. The special value ‘Added’ will apply the operation to all properties that were added to the applicable Object Classes by any template in the current template stack. New in Simplebim 8.2 SR1. You can use the prefix [PSET] or [QSET] to include/exclude all properties from a property set or quantity set, for example '[PSET]My Properties' would include/exclude all properties from a property set called 'My Properties'. You can use the prefix [LIKE] to enable wildcards. For example '[LIKE]abc' would include/exclude all properties where the name contains 'abc'.
