• A Document classification mapping allows the user to select a document. Document classification mappings will filter the mapping to only consider objects that exist within a specific model. Available options include any separate file loaded into fuzor. This includes linked Revit models as well as separate models appended to a Navisworks composite.

• A Zone classification mapping allows the user to select a Zone, or specify a formula for multiple zones.

• A Level classification mapping allows the user to select a specific level, or specify a formula for multiple levels.

• A Location classification mapping allows the user to clearly define an existing level classification mapping. Location Classification Mappings are used when the level contains additional data that needs to be matched to another keyword.

• A Parameter classification mapping allows the user to select specific data from the BIM properties of objects that can be used to either filter the available results or specify a formula for multiple values.

Mulitple parameter classification mappings can be added to the same mapping. Other classification mappings can only be used once per mapping. When using multiple parameter classification mappings it is important to understand using a Combination of Parameters.

The Repeat Counter column toggles whether the parameter is a Repeating Countable Classification Mapping.

the Keyword column displays the keyword that is associated with 4D Data. This is generated when selecting data from the task. If a keyword formula is iterative it will be displayed here with a $ instead of the numeral.

The Classification column displays the type of the classification mapping. when using a parameter classification mapping the the drop down menu is used to select and display the name of the associated BIM parameter.

The Operator allows the user to control whether the classification mapping needs an exact match: ‘Equal to'. Or to look for any value that contains the given text: 'Contains’.

The Value allows the user to select a value to filter by in the BIM data. repeatable countable value formula are displayed with a $ instead of a numeral.

The Offset allows the user to denote an offset. this is used for repeating countable parameters which contain data that may be slightly offset from the task data.

A Repeating Countable Classification Mapping is a specific type of classification mapping that relies on sequentail data. For example, the levels in a building. An repeating A countable classification mapping has the ability to read multiple different values and create a separate filter for each match between the schedule and BIM data.

Creating the most powerful mapping requires a strong understanding of the BIM and 4D data in the project. The following classification mapping types can be used as a repeating countable classification mapping.

• A Level classification mapping can repeat through each match objectsto tasks based on level.

• A Zone classification mapping can repeat through each zonematch objects to tasks based on zone name.

• A Parameter classification mapping can repeat through each match objects to tasks based on the value of a given parameter.

To create a repeating countable classification mapping a keyword needs to be selected that contains a formula with a repeatable countable numeral. Possible numerals that are repeatable countable for keywords are:

• Integer : 1, 2, 3, 4… OR 01, 02, 03 ,04…Phonetic : One, Two, Three, Four…

• Ordinal : 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th

• Alphabetical : A, B, C, D

For example, if “3rd floor” is selected as a keyword. “3rd” will be read as an repeatable countable numeral. the generated Keyword is “$ Floor”. $ always represents an repeatable countable value in the formula. In order for the repeatable countable value to be used, a counterpart repeatable countable formula must be selected as the model parameter. For Example, if “$ - Floor” is selected, the mapping will repeat count through any level values that match that formula: “1st-Floor”, “2nd-Floor”, “3rd-Floor”

In some cases a repeating countable classification mapping may need to be slightly offset. For example, the ceilings on level 2 may fit better if constructed by tasks with the level 3 Parent. Or instead of a level the user is using a revit parameter like “top constraint” which is ussually a level higher than the level the object is on.

An offset can be used to ensure that objects are assigned to a different level. when using an offset of 1 objects on level 4 will be filtered to Level 3.

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 countable 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.
