Project Administrator Rights in the dRofus project are required to edit or delete sub configurations. |
Sub Attribute Configuration can be used to create Configurations, which you want to apply to only one or few Families of specific Category / Categories.
Example:
To create a Sub Configuration (for the Item <-> Revit Family Configuration) which you would like to apply to only Revit Families of the Electrical Equipment Category, select the "+" button within the Item <-> Revit Family Configuration, then select "Electrical Equipment" as follows:
...
Once you click on "OK", a new (Sub) Configuration window will appear. Here, you need not (and cannot ) set up the "Key Attribute used for comparing" (your Main Configuration would have that already), but rather you can pick properties on either side and choose the direction in which you'd like the values of the properties to go. In this example, we will rename the Sub Configuration to be "Notes Only", check the box against "Is Default Configuration" then map out a pair of properties such that the values of dRofus' "Note" goes in to Revit's "Type Comments" as follows:
...
Create Sub Attribute Configuration
Open the “Attribute Configuration Settings”
Select “+” that is located beside the general Attribute Configuration
...
3. Select categories
...
4. Select “ok”
The new Sub Configuration is created and the Configuration Editor window will appear:
...
6. Link Attributes. Read more Create New or Edit Revit Attribute Configuration
Key Attribute: The Sub-Configuration will be run at the same time as the general Attribute Configuration. You will not be able to set Key Attribute in the Sub-Configuration, since the synchronizing will use the Key Attribute set in the general Attribute Configuration.
7. Select “Close”
The Sub Configuration has now been setup as follows:
...
...
You are able to create as many of these Sub Configurations as you like.
Synchronizing Sub-Configuration
The next time you open the Family “Family Type <-> dRofus Item dialogItem” window, you will see that there is it will be a "++" symbol next to the active Configuration, indicating that one or more Sub Configurations may be applicable if you were to run a Synchronization:
...
If you were to then run the "Sync all" command, you will note that (although the Revit Category Filter has been setup to include Families of Casework, Doors and other Categories) dRofus' "Note" values that get pushed in to Revit's "Type Comments" parameter will only apply to Revit Families of the Electrical Equipment Category.
You are able to create as many of these Sub Configurations as you like.
...
When synchronizing the Sub-configuration will only be used to send data to the families that is included in the categories you set in step 3.
Example:
We have set a configuration for Doors. We run a synchronizing including Doors and Chairs. The general Attribute Configuration will be used for both families but the Sub-Configuration will only be used for Doors.
Delete Sub Configuration
To delete existing Sub Configuration, click on the "-" button next to the Sub Configuration which you would like deleted:
