Wildcards which can be used in BIMcollab Zoom

Wildcards which can be used in BIMcollab Zoom

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

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