Filter BIM Profile
I have asked this in another post, however I am still unable to find out whether it is possible to filter and obtain a selection set based on the structural 'BIM PROFILE SIZE'.
I have also checked via lisp (entget (car (entsel))) to see if it part of the entity list but doesnt seem to be there.
thx

I too would like to be able to do this. If I use BLADE's data inspector, I can get a list of all an entities dxf codes but I can't see the BIM data in there. Where is it stored?

Use the structural browser and in search field add $profile = xxxxx. This is a powerful tool BUT NEEDS ability to use wildcards for string filtering and logical operators
Say $Profile = HSS* would filter all beams with HSS sections.
I would love to know how to create groups and sets and hive them a name so we can also assign selection sets to them and use later0 -
Cool. I created a new Rule, then I right click Group and select Profile from Extensions - BIM. I can now see (and select) all the profile sizes in the structural panel.

Garry & tslewis,
thank you for sharing that information. That is very powerful and also very helpful (yet another impressive Bricscad feature).
Much appreciated.
