You can create custom selection rules that allow users to select specific groups of components based on component properties or relationships in Smart Construction models and drawings. These selection rules can be based on a combination of an interface definition and property definition, or they can be based on navigating a relationship definition.

You can create selection rules that select groups of components based on component properties delivered with Smart Construction. For example, a Module selection rule can be created. After configuring a Module selection rule, users can apply the Module selection rule to a model or drawing. All components associated with the modules property (the property definition SPC_ComponentItem_Module) are available for selection. You can also create selection rules that display custom component properties that are not delivered with Smart Construction, such as rooms.

You can also create selection rules based on navigating relationship definitions, such as bolt-up activities. A Bolt-up Activities selection rule displays all bolt-up activities related to the model or drawing, based on the SPC_ComponentItem_ComponentActivity relationship definition to find and display bolt-up activities.

Creating a custom selection rule based on component properties is a multi-step process:

  • Modify the tool schema to publish the property you want to display in the selection rule.

  • Publish models or drawings containing the properties to SmartPlant Foundation.

  • Extend the Smart Construction schema to include custom properties not delivered with Smart Construction.

  • Map the component property to Smart Construction.

  • Retrieve the published models and drawings into Smart Construction from SmartPlant Foundation.

  • Create and configure a new selection rule for Smart Construction.

  • Configure security for the new selection rule.

  • Verify the selection rule displays correctly and selects the correct components in a Smart Construction model or drawing.
