Use the Data Table

You can use the Data Table to colorize, sort, order, and filter objects based on object attributes.

Use Data Table to display model properties, including the custom properties, in a grid view for reporting purposes.

The Data Table support these types of actions:
  • grouping objects by different properties
  • configuring visible columns
  • seeing quantities
  • exporting to a spreadsheet in CSV format

Watch the Skill Builder video: Connect Data Table for more information.

Choosing What to Display in the Table

All, Selected, or Visible Objects
  • All objects: All objects are shown in the Data Table, independently of their visibility in 3D view.
  • Selected Objects: Only the selected objects are shown in the table.
  • Visible Objects: When the visible objects mode is selected, the data table displays data only for objects that are currently visible in the 3D space. Objects that are hidden with the hide feature in 3D are not displayed in the data table.
Parts vs. Assemblies
  • You can choose to show Assemblies in the Data Table by enabling the Assembly Selection mode in the toolbar.
  • Selected objects + Assemblies or Parts: When in the Selected objects mode, the table shows properties of currently selected objects which can be both assemblies and individual objects.
  • All objects + Assembly Selection Mode Enabled: All assemblies (and their properties) are shown in the Data Table, independently of their visibility in 3D view.
  • All objects + Assembly Selection Mode Disabled: All parts/objects (and their properties) are shown in the Data Table, independently of their visibility in 3D view.

Search for a Property Value

Use the search function to make queries against the visible data listed in the Data Table. This is a quick and easy way to search for Rebar marks or any other property values that may be of interest to you.
  • The filter will search any of the object's attributes, not just the ones used to group or sort the objects.
  • The filtering can be cleared by selecting Remove next to the filter field.
  • Once the filter field is cleared, all objects are grouped and sorted as prior to filtering them.

Select in 3D

To select objects in the 3D Viewer from the Data Table, first select a row and then select Select in 3D button.
