Is there any systematically method to assign classification for ALL objects ?

[marcoho01]

Hello,

I would like to know if there is any method to select a classification system and assign classifications to all objects in a systematic way?

I have tried exporting a schedule (as an Excel file) and assigning classifications to all objects, then importing it using the "Import Property Values into Elements" option under "Interoperability". However, this method did not change the classifications of those objects.

Thank you!

The best way to have your objects in the right classification is to have a base of favorites, and then if you need to change something start there but keep the "original" classification.

You can assign a classification using expression and an addon. Here is a short video with an example of the worк

Thank you for reply!

Actually, my task is to assign classifications to a model that is missing classifications for certain 3D objects. It is difficult for me to find, select, and assign the classifications one-by-one.

I am not sure that you can automatically assign a classification to elements that don't have a classification.

It could be deliberate that there is no classification.

But what you can do to help find them is set up a 'Find & Select' criteria looking for all or particular element types that have no classification.

Then you can select them and change them all at once.

Or you could set up Graphic Overrides to change the colour of of unclassified or incorrectly classified elements.

Then just select the ones with the overridden colour and amend them.

My method is to set up schedules. It is more powerful than find and select.

Yes, I think the schedule is a effective solution to identify the objects missing classification.

Then, is there any method to assign classification to those objects quickly?

Schedules work as well, but I would argue Find & Select is a little easier to adjust all of the 'not classified' elements all at once, rather than one by one in the schedule.

Plus you can see what it selects, rather than having to guess what is what in a schedule (not that that matters if you want all elements to be classified).

One by one in a schedule. EDIT - unless you can merge similar items.

Same with graphic overrides, you still have to select them to change them.

But Find & Select, selects them all for you and they can all be classified at the same time (if they are all to have the same classification).

You do not necessarily have to assign each individual element to a classification. You can also use “merge items” to reclassify more elements at once.
