GridAssigner - Automatic grid assignment

GridAssigner helps write grid information into model parameters to improve traceability and element readability. It is especially useful when teams need a fast link between elements and grids without filling that data manually.

General Description

The add-in detects the closest grids for each element, generates configurable grid text, and writes it into a selected target parameter. It also supports manual grid classification, optional distance output, and automatic synchronization when elements change.

Key Features

• Target parameter: Writes the result into a user-selected text parameter.
• Configurable formatting: Adjust prefixes, separators, grouping, and distance units.
• Linear element support: Handles tolerance logic for walls, beams, and similar cases.
• Manual classification: Lets users separate longitudinal and transverse grids in complex layouts.
• Auto Sync: Can keep data updated automatically when the model changes.

Usage Procedure

1. Open GridAssigner and choose the parameter where the information will be written.
2. Define the text format and, if needed, the distance options.
3. Select the categories that should participate in Auto Sync or manual assignment.
4. Pick elements and run Assign to Selection.
5. Enable Auto Sync if you want the parameter to stay updated in the background.
