Object Manager allows you to interact with the objects within the model. The object manager pane is displayed when you go to the 'Object Manager' option available under 'More Options' while viewing a model.

Object manager contains 'Search', 'Query Builder' and 'List Builder'. Click on the maximise icon to maximise the pop-up and get access to all object manager functionalities.

Click on the links below to access their detailed help:

1. The search field allows you to search for objects within the model by selecting from the following search criteria.

1a Object Type - To specify the IFC class of the object to be searched.

1b Object Name/Word - To specify the name of the object to be searched. You can specify the object type name or an enumeration of the object as well. (by using the IFCTypeObject of the mentioned object).

1c Search Algorithm - This option includes a dropdown with three different options:

Default - The Default search algorithm will be performed.

Workset - Workset level search algorithm will be performed.

COBie Rulesets - The COBie rulesets algorithm will be performed.

Object Revision - To select object revision, which can be 'Latest', 'Superseded' and 'All'. The object manager performs a search based on selected object revisions.

2. After selecting the search criteria and clicking on the search button, it displays a list of all objects matching the specified criteria.

3. Search result contains all the object revisions as we have searched with all object revisions.

4. Select the object in the search result and click on the icon for more options available at the top right. It allows you to add objects to the list builder and view object details.

4a Add to List Builder - To add the selected object to the list builder. Click here for detailed help on the list builder.

4b View Object Detail - To view object properties. Click here for detailed help on object details.
​

1. Query builder allows you to search for objects by using the advanced query builder, which enables you to search based on the object type, object name and the object properties.

2. Click on the 'Build a Query' button to create an advanced query.

2a Object Type - The Object type dropdown shows the entire root structure of IFC objects.

2b Name Contains - To fill any word of the IfcObject.Name or IFCObjectType.Name which helps you to reduce search criteria.

2c Properties - This dropdown contains all the properties of the selected object type.

2d Condition - Conditions field includes the different search conditions like 'Equal', 'Contains', 'Begins with', and 'Ends with', which are used to calculate the value of the selected property.

2e Value - To specify the selected property value in this column as per the applied condition in the fourth column.

2f Add - Clicking on the 'Add' button generates a new query builder row, which enables you to specify one or more queries. After adding one more search row, a new dropdown will be added to the first row, last column as search condition 'AND' & 'OR' between each query row.

2g Cross icon - To remove a row if not required.

3. Click on the search icon to display the objects as per the query specified.

1. List builder allows you to build a virtual grouping of objects and perform batch processing on them.

2. Asite Navigator allows you to add objects to the list builder by selecting the right-click option called 'Add to List Builder' for an object in the visualisation as well as in the object tree.

3. Once you add the objects to the list builder, it shows all objects in the recently added list by default.

4. Click on the + icon to add a new list. A new list will be added below the 'Recently Added' list in the 'My Lists' section. While creating a new list, it is mandatory for you to provide the name of the list.

5. Select multiple objects (by Ctrl + Click), right click on the object and select the list to which the objects are to be added.

6. The object manager allows you to perform right-click options on objects added to the object list.

6a Highlight - Highlight option highlights the selected objects in the visualisation.

6b Zoom To - Zoom to option to zoom to the object in the visualisation.

6c View Object Details - View object details option selects the object details tab of the object manager pane automatically and displays the details of the object.

6d Copy to List - Copy to List option allows you to add the selected objects to other lists that the user has access to.
