A Location Classification Mapping can be used in conjunction with a level classification mapping when level data includes information about the location of the object as well as the level it is on. For example, if a building has multiple wings and the information regarding which wing the object exists in is located in the level BIM data a compound repeating mapping is most effective.

A level classification mapping must be created first with a specific type of value in order to add a location classification mapping. A level and location classification mapping will work together to properly assign objects to the schedule.

The level classification mapping should be created using a keyword that only contains the level number.

A level with two numerals needs to be selected for the pameter value of the level mapping. Each numeral will be displayed as a separate $. When using a level with this data a location classification mapping is needed.

When a level with two numerals is selected the level list is regenerated creating two additional options that allow the user to distinguish between the level and the location for the given level value. By default the option where first numeral in the formula denotes the level is selected.

If the second number in the formula contains the level data. Select the drop down menu again to pick between the available options. The two choices are displayed using either a '[NUMBER]' or a '$' to denote each numeral. The value formula for a level classification mapping should display the level as a $ and the location as [NUMBER].

To complete the classification mapping a location classification mapping must be added and an associated keyword must be selected. For example BLDG 2 can be selected.

The location classification mapping is only available when a level classification mapping is created as described above and it its automatically assinged to the associated Level with the opposite formula. The value formula for a location classification mapping should display the Location as a $ and the Level as [NUMBER].

The above mapping is extremely powerful. Assuming that other tasks in the schedule follow the same structure objects on all levels and in different buildings can be assigned with a single Mapping.
