That helps, to do this you will need to create one check for Doors and another for Windows.
For Doors Check Type: Mirrored Components
PARAMETER:ALL_MODEL_TYPE_COMMENTS=Buitenkozijn
CATEGORY = Doors
For Windows Check Type: Mirrored Components
PARAMETER:ALL_MODEL_TYPE_COMMENTS=Buitenkozijn
CATEGORY = Windows
This will then return the results for each type that match. The Filter when used with multiple entries acts like an "AND" operator. If the goal is to remove any items that have the term above from those found you can change the "=" to "NOT". From here you can also use the Results tab to view the item in the project file.

We use the "Type Comments" parameter to filter only the real exterior doors and windows. We also use it in our schedules (counting exterior doors and windows).
With the filters: Category = Doors & Category = Windows, everything shows up.

To check for mirrored items you may find the "Mirrored Components" template to be more useful. If I understood the scenario right and you want to isolate the Doors and Windows that can be done by setting two filters: Category = Doors & Category = Windows
If you open the FirmStandards-Extended2010.bcf file there is an example that uses the 'Mirrored Components" but does not have any filters applied to it.
If I misunderstood the scenario please let me know so that we can be more helpful.

We need to check if the "Type Comments" parameter is the string "Buitenkozijn", so we can check if a door or window is mirrored.
It works if we put the string in the value area in the familie, but if we put the string in the formula area it doesn't find the string anymore.
filter = PARAMETER:ALL_MODEL_TYPE_COMMENTS=Buitenkozijn

Comparing Door Fire Rating to its Host Wall Rating

We've been considering something like that for the upcoming release....
Out of curiousity, though - typically Fire Rating is a type parameter for doors and walls. Is that how you do it as well?
If so, are you suggesting that we would modify the type parameter of a given door to match the hosted wall's type?
or do you have different door types of the same size, with different fire ratings, and the fix would be to select the right one?
Best Regards,
Matt

Would it be possible to have doors look at the fire rating of their host wall and automatically replace their fire rating with the appropriate value?

David,
There is not, i have snooped the link files and that value is not stored anywhere (even if the link path is changed to absolute from relative). I will check with dev to see what options are moving forward to get access to this and/or any API changes that may be there to help (if any).

Adding multiple "styles" and "types" per category

When creating a check if you have multiple values (or ranges) you want to enter, you have to manually enter the data (ex. Text Style 1, Text Style 2, or between 1 - 3 or 1, 5, 10 [meaning the values 1, 5 or 10].
If you need to get access to the actual value you can always copy the data (via selecting and right clicking) from the value bar and going back to "Pick Element", after selecting the next value you want you can paste the previous value to append or prefix as needed.
The other option would be to create another check file giving all the entries in the project (ex. all door sizes) and use the results table by running Check BIM Standards to get the "values" you need. Note: Check BIM Standards and Manage BIM Standards can be open at the same time to allow for such situations.

Jim,
You can do this on the "Filter" tab.
As you have figured out by now, pretty much all content has a "Type" of "FamilyInstance".
To check only a particular category of FamilyInstance, you go to the "Filter" tab and choose "Category = OST_Doors", and add it to the list of filters.
(That's from memory, so forgive me if it's not exact).
Best Regards,
Matt

Good morning all,
I have what I believe to be a relatively basic question, but I can't seem to figure it out (I'm going to blame it on being Monday morning).
What I'm trying to do is create a check for all Doors that have a "GA" prefix in the family name. I've been able to check all families with a GA prefix, but would like to filter out everything but Doors. WHat is the correct parameter I should be using for this?
Thanks for your help!
Jim

Jim,
Welcome to the forum and thanks for starting the thread.
Can you post a small sample of you .bfc file (either here in the forum or to me beau.turner@avatech.com), i want to make sure i understand what your trying to do. I *think* you might be trying to combine both text style and size into one check (and correct me if i am wrong) and possible doing an auto correct using multiple text Type Styles.

David,
Keep going with the RegExp, they are quite powerful (and post back if you have any questions using it or getting a syntax to work)!
So the UPPERCASE check question, in version 1 we are able to filter these out if they are a "individual" notes, not very likely in your case. Right now being able to filter out exceptions contained anywhere in the body of the note(s) has been added to the feature request list for the next version as an enhancement.

Hi all,
I'm trying to add multiple text styles and sizes to the check files, but every time I do it ends up overwriting the one that was already in the field. I've resorted to writing down all the types I want to add and typing them in manually. Am I doing something wrong?
BTW...AWESOME product. I'm using the 30 day trial right now, but I'm sold on it already.
Thanks,
Jim
