Formula Rule-Based Organizer Groups
Overview
Understanding Rule-Based Organizer and Formula Rule-Based Organizer Features
The Rule-Based Organizer feature stands as a user-friendly and adaptable tool designed to arrange model objects efficiently to cater to diverse requirements. It addresses a crucial challenge: dealing with BIM models containing a multitude of objects, each defined by numerous properties. The primary conundrums it tackles are swift identification of pertinent objects and seamless sharing of discovered objects with fellow project collaborators. The Organizer finds application in various scenarios, not confined to:
Work Packages
Monitoring and Tracking
Phases
Basic Scheduling
Interaction with On-Site Teams
Transition from Design to Fabrication
The Formula Rule-Based Organizer feature represents an enhancement to the existing functionality of the Rule-Based Organizer feature within Trimble Connect for Browser. This tool empowers you to craft intelligent rules for the purpose of efficiently arranging your model objects. Furthermore, we've introduced a feature that allows you to incorporate object visibility within these rules, providing an added layer of versatility.
Formula Rule-Based Organizer is “accent mark agnostic” and employs advanced algorithms that are trained on a wide range of accent mark data. These algorithms are designed to recognize phonetic and linguistic variations across various accents, allowing the software to accurately interpret spoken language in the context of naming conventions in models. The Formula Rule-Based Organizer feature is not case specific and will create groups based on "fuzzy" word matches.

Please note that the Formula Rule-Based Organizer is exclusively accessible to users with a Business Premium license.
Supported Formula Operations
Formula operators will vary depending on the property type. Please see below for the supported operators.
Create a Formula Rule Based Organizer Group
Load a model in Trimble Connect for Browser's 3D Viewer.
Open the Organizer Panel.
Start by clicking Add new group.
A dropdown will appear - click "New rule-based group".
The Rules Panel will open.
Select the desired models you want to use for your group.
Under the Rule definition section - click Rule formula builder
After you have defined your formulas - click Ok
On the Rules panel - click Save.
Using the Rule Formula Builder
You can create formulas by adding Groups, Conditions and on different Levels. Clicking on the Preview button will render your results.
You can create Group from the selection properties coming from the model, or you can type custom Group name:
Formula builder allows you to include unmathicng nodes. You can name the group unmatching once “Include unmmatching elements” is selected.
You can duplicate formula Group, remove it or change it’s order by moving it up or down:
