Use Rules to Attach Tasks

Attaching tasks manually could take a long time. It is a good practice to either use task names, which correspond to Selection Tree layers, or create selection and search sets that correspond to the task names. If this is the case, then you can apply predefined and custom-made rules to instantly attach tasks to objects in the model.

Predefined Rules

  • Items By Task Name. Choose this rule to attach each geometry item in the model to each task with the same name in the specified column. The default is to use the Name column.
  • Selection Sets By Task Name. Choose this rule to attach each Selection and Search Set in the model to each task with the same name in the specified column. The default is to use the Name column.
  • Layers By Task Name. Choose this rule to attach each layer in the model to each task with the same name in the specified column. The default is to use the Name column.
  • Attach Items to Task by Category/Property. Choose this rule to attach each item in the model with the defined property, to each task with the same name in the specified column. The default is to use the Name column; however, you will also need to define the <category> and <property> values.
