• If you enter a number (for example 0, 400, 5.3), the value is treated as a numeric
value. If it’s got a decimal place, the floating-point formatting is preserved up to the
user-defined decimal places.
• If you enter an alphanumeric string between single or double quote marks, such as
“hello” or ‘testing’, the value is treated as a sting.
• If you enter the word true or false without any quotes, the value is treated as a
boolean (true = 1, false = 0).
Modifier - assignment operators for your variable. You can use any of the following
operators with numbers and boolean values. However, using strings is limited to the 'Set
Equal To' operator only.
• Set Equal To
• Increment By
• Decrement By
Store Property
A store property action stores an object property in a variable when a script is triggered. This can be
useful if you need to trigger events based on embedded object properties or live data in a linked
database.
You can specify the following properties for this action type:
Set - click this button, and use the shortcut menu to define the objects, which are used to
get the property from:
• Clear - clears the current selection.
• Set From Current Selection - the objects are set to your current object selection in
the main NavisWorks window.
• Set From Current Selection Set - the objects are set to your current search set or
selection set.
Note:
If your selection contains a hierarchy of objects, the top-level object will be automatically used to
get the property from. So, for example, if you selected a group called "Wheel", which includes two
subgroups called "Rim", and "Tyre", only the properties that relate to "Wheel" can be stored.
Variable to Set - the name of the variable to recieve the property.
Category - the property category. The values in this drop-down box depend on the
selected objects.
Property - the property type. The values in this drop-down box depend on the chosen
property category.
