Wildcards which can be used in BIMcollab Zoom

Updated over 3 months ago

The following wildcards can be used in BIMcollab Zoom for values set in Smart views, Clash rules, Lists, Smart Properties and IDS specification values:


* = Matching any amount of characters
? = Matching 1 character
~ = Ignore the next wildcard (this means it will look for the ? or * as text).

This is used before the symbol when a value contains either * or ? in it, in order to indicate that the upcoming symbol is not a wildcard, but a part of the value of the property.

Examples

*

any value

'1', 'concrete', '22.12', '6gUn&q3g6$vg8qmN#bB'

22.*

any value starting with '22.'

22.1', '22.13', '22.12345', '22.abc', '22.a1b2c3'

*22.*

any value containing 22.

22.12345', 'a 22.12345', 'abc 22.12345'

?
