    Split Geometries
    In This Topic

    This tool makes it possible to apply the Location Tools functionality to models from a script or template. This tool can not be run from the Simplebim user interface.

    Configuration Options

    Key

    SPLIT_TYPE

    Defines which objects are split
    Value
    ALL All objects (default)
    MARKED Resolves and splits objects according to the Split attribute values.

    LOCATIONS_ONLY

    		 Resolves location only for all the objects. No splitting will occur.
    Key

    SPLIT_ASSEMBLIES

    Defines how assemblies are split
    Value
    ON Splits assemblies based on the locations of the assemblies' children.
    OFF Does not split assemblies. (default)
    Key

    ASSEMBLY_CHILD_LOCATION

    Defines how locations are assigned when assemblies are split
    Value
    SINGLE Assigns assembly's location identifier to all the children.
    MULTI Assigns location identifiers to the children based on their actual location.
    Key

    GUID_MAP_READ

    Reads guid mappings from a specific file path. Mapping file is a text file of type .mpf.
    Value The file path. The default is the path from which the current model was opened or imported.
    Key

    GUID_MAP_WRITE

    Writes guid mapping to a specific file path. By default the guid mappings are stored to the same folder as the model.
    Value The file path. The default is the path from which the current model was opened or imported.
    Key

    SMART_SPLIT

    Smart split avoids leaving small pieces of split objects to the result, splitting walls, columns and beams along their axis or slabs horizontally.
    Value
    ON Smart split on (default)
    OFF Smart split off.  Splitting uses basic geometric boolean operations between the location prisms and building elements
    Key

    SMART_SPLIT_ANGLE

    The angle is used for defining, if the splitting is about to happen along the wall, column or beam axis or horizontally for slabs. The angle is given in radians. It is the smallest allowed angle between the object's axis and the split direction. Meaning that only the split directions which have bigger angle to the object's axis than defined are used. This is only applies, when the Smart Split is on.
    Value The angle. Default is 0,965.
    Key

    MINIMUM_SPLIT_DIMENSION

    Minimum dimension for split objects. If the resulting split object is smaller than the minimum, then no splitting will be applied. This only applies, when the Smart Split is on.
    Value The value in millimeters. Default is 300mm.
    Key

    DEFAULT_NO_SPLIT

    Building elements from a set of default object classes are not split. The default set of object classes include windows, doors, furniture, railings and stairs.
    Value
    ON Splitting is done with default split settings
    OFF Objects are split according to the split type setting and the Split attribute values. No default split settings are used.
    Key

    DECIMATE

    Decimation is the process of reducing the complexity of the geometry without adversely affecting the shape of the geometry.
    Value
    ON Geometry decimation is on. Normally this should be on. It makes the rendering of the resulting splitting much more effective. (default)
    OFF Geometry decimation is off. This should be used only in debugging and testing.
    Key

    CALCQTO

    Calculates the quantities after splitting based on the resulting geometry. Note that this runs the Calculate Basic Quantities tool.
    Value
    ON Calculates quantities after splitting (default)
    OFF Does not calculate quantities after splitting
    Key

    REMOVE_ORIG_OBJ

    Removes original building elements after the splitting. Original building elements are the building elements, which were split.
    Value
    ON Remove the original building elements
    OFF Do not remove the original building elements
    Key

    REMOVE_LOC_PRISMS

    Removes location prisms after resolving the locations. 
    Value
    ON Remove the location prisms
    OFF Do not remove the location prisms. (default)
    Key

    SPLITSPECIALROWS

    Controls the splitting of the following spatial containers: site, building, building storey.
    Value
    ON Splits spatial containers
    OFF Does not split spatial containers. (default)
    Key

    RESET

    Controls the resetting of the model after the locations have been resolved. Resetting is needed when multiple location types are applied to the model in sequence, for example if you first set the building storey locations you need to reset before you set the construction section locations to the same model.
    Value
    OFF No resetting (default)
    SEQUENT_RUN Reset the model after resolving it. When only resolving the locations, the reset means that everything is classified as Not Decided Yet and the existing location prisms are removed. When resolving the locations and splitting, the reset means that the resulting objects are classified as Not Decided Yet and the original objects and the existing location prisms are removed.
    SEQUENT_RUN_EXCLUDE_ERRORS Reset the model after resolving it. With this configuration value the reset means that everything is classified as Not Decided Yet and both the original objects, objects with errors and the existing location prisms are removed.
