Setting up model configuration

The Setup section covers model configuration tasks that must be performed before the model is integrated with IBM® Maximo® Real Estate and Facilities. Most of these are independent of the Maximo Real Estate and Facilities server.

Defining project settings

About this task

The initial values of IBM.Name and IBM.BarCode parameters are created from other Revit parameters. As part of the Connector setup, rules must be defined describing how the values for these parameters are created. Rules are defined for each Revit Element type.

Procedure

Click Project Settings to open Maximo Real Estate and Facilities Integration Setup for accessing the rule definitions.

The button associated with each element type displays the dialog for creating a parameter value rule. The dialog is the same for all element types, although the values in the parameter drop-down differ. Rules must be defined in sequence from top to bottom. Each button is enabled when the preceding rule is defined.
The two Reserve Name buttons are only visible if the Reserve profiles is active for the connector.

Configure the rules as described in the following table:

Field	Description
DFX Template	Sets a default DFX template for use in publishing floorplans. The value becomes the default preselected template in the Publish Floorplan form. If the configuration is loaded from the server and the template that is stored on the server does not exist in the model, this value is empty.
Save as the default configuration To TRIRIGA	Saves the complete configuration to the Maximo Real Estate and Facilities server. (You must be logged in for the button to be active.)
Save as the default configuration To File	Saves the complete configuration of a local file.
Load the default configuration From TRIRIGA	Loads the configuration from the Maximo Real Estate and Facilities server overwriting any existing configuration. (You must be logged in for the button to be active.)
Load the default configuration From File	Loads the configuration from a file created by a Save to File action overwriting any existing configuration.

Click OK.

Fill the Floor Name Generation Configuration form to define the parameter value generation rules.

This image shows the Space Name Generation Configuration form.

Prefix: A static text string that is applied once at the beginning of the name.

Parameter: The drop-down displays a list of all user-visible parameters that are defined for the element type. It also exposes some non-parameter values of the element. A value generation rule requires at least one parameter and may have any number of additional parameters. For rules that apply to components and types, only parameters that are associated with every supported category are included in the Parameters drop-down.

This table describes the ways in which the original parameter value can be handled before it is used.

Drop-down/UI	Function
Word case	Provides options for case folding and capitalization of the parameter value.
White space	Provides options for normalizing the white space contained in a parameter value.
Suffix	This is a static text that is appended to the end of the referenced parameter value. It is useful for adding separators between parameters.
Add	Adds the parameter definition at the end of the list.
Update	Replaces the selected parameter definition with the current definition.
Insert	Inserts the parameter definition before the selected definition.
Remove	Deletes the selected definitions.

Tip:

Use the ability to save the confirmation and load it from the Maximo Real Estate and Facilities server to ensure consistent rules are used across all models.
Include the element ID in Component names, Type Names, and Barcodes for uniqueness.
The parameters added by the Construction-Operations Building information exchange (COBie) toolkit appear in the Parameters drop-down. You can effectively use the COBie rules instead of defining rules here by selecting just the COBie.name parameter for each element.

Click OK.
The project settings are stored in the model file.

Sample naming rules

This table provides guidelines for the naming rules that can be used as a reasonable start to developing the naming policy of your organization.

Naming	Value
Model	<Model file name>
Building	<Building name>
Floor	<Name>
Room	<Level>-<Name>-<Number>
Area	<Area Scheme>-<Level>-<Name>-<Number>
Space	<Level>-<Name>-Number>
Type	<Category>-<Type name>
Component	<Category>-<Type name>-<Element Id>
Barcode	<Element Id>

Note: Ensure the following:

All models in a linked set have unique model names.
If Maximo Real Estate and Facilities Spaces are to be created directly from Areas, the area name must not be the same as any Room name. Since similar rules are shown above, the Area must be disambiguated from the Room. For example, in the table, the Area Scheme name is used. Alternatively, a simple constant prefix such as “A” can be used.
Element ID is only useful for the barcode for prototyping. Real barcode should be entered in the model and used to match the existing assets or to create new assets.

Populate parameters

Before a model can be integrated with Maximo Real Estate and Facilities, the shared parameters required by Maximo Real Estate and Facilities must be added to the model and values must be assigned according to the rules defined in section Sample naming rules. This is done with the Populate Parameters menu. There are 3 update options for each parameter:

Option	Description
Blank	Only update the value if it is blank. This implies that either Populate Parameters has never been run, or the element has been added since the last time it was run.
Always	Overwrite any existing value.
Never	Do not populate.

Usually, it is necessary to run Populate Parameters before the initial integration and before newly added elements are integrated. Blank option works well for this. If one of the forms report errors, it may be necessary to use Always option to overwrite the values with corrections.

After an element is linked to Maximo Real Estate and Facilities or if it is integrated with an existing Maximo Real Estate and Facilities record, the name value is retrieved from Maximo Real Estate and Facilities. If Project Information - IBM.InService.Date is blank, it is populated from the Project Information Issue Date parameter.

Reserve

If Reserve is enabled, the following is added:

Schedules

Populate Parameters creates schedules that show values of the IBM parameters added to each type. It may create:

Levels Schedule
Rooms Schedule
Spaces Schedule
Areas Schedule for each Area Schema

Schedules are only created if there is at least one instance of the schedule element type in the model. Each schedule is filtered for the IsTRIRIGA parameter having a value of true.

Space use class

Space Use Class is a split button that can display either a property sheet for setting Space Use Class on individual elements, or a bulk tool for setting Space Use Class on groups of elements. The button shows the last tools used.

Maximo Real Estate and Facilities requires all spaces to have a Space Use Classification specified. Therefore, to create Maximo Real Estate and Facilities spaces for Revit Rooms, Spaces, or Areas, a Use Classification needs to be provided.

The Space Use Class List is retrieved from the Maximo Real Estate and Facilities server on login and stored in the model. If a list is already stored in the model, the new list is compared to the old and a warning is issued if any entries in the old list are not in the new list. This happens whenever a model is opened and the connector is already logged into Maximo Real Estate and Facilities, or when the connector logs into Maximo Real Estate and Facilities with a model open.

Use Classification can be assigned individually or in bulk to Revit Rooms and Spaces. They are stored in the IBM.UseClassification parameter and the human-readable label is stored in the IBM.UseClassification.Name parameter. These values are used when Maximo Real Estate and Facilities spaces are created from the Revit objects. After a Revit Room or Space is integrated with a Maximo Real Estate and Facilities space, Maximo Real Estate and Facilities is the master for Use Classification, so the updates here have no effect and are overwritten by a Sync operation.

The Space Use Class List may be imported and exported as an XML file. This allows the Connector to be used to configure Space Use Classes without access to a Maximo Real Estate and Facilities server.

Tip: The Integrate Room and Integrate Space tools, both verify that a Use Classification is assigned and does not display the Room or Space in the list of elements to integrate if it is missing. However, the Use Classification is only used for creating new Maximo Real Estate and Facilities spaces. Specify Use Classifications for Rooms and Spaces for which you intend to create new Maximo Real Estate and Facilities spaces, then use the Assign Blank function to set the remainder to a default value.

Property sheet

The Space Use Class property sheet is a dockable property sheet that displays and sets the Space Use Class for the current selection.

If the current selection contains at least one element that supports Space Use Class: a Room, Space, or Area, the Space Use Class tree is displayed, and the name of the element is shown in the property sheet title bar. If the selection set has exactly one element that supports Space Use Class, the currently assigned Space Use Class is selected in the tree.

Apply: The Space Use Class of all the elements in the selection set that supports Space Use Class can be updated by selecting a Space Use Class in the tree and pressing the Apply button. If any of the selected elements are Areas, and the selected Space Use Class has a BOMA type specified, the Area Type of the Area is updated.

Note: Shafts use a subset of the Space Use Class hierarchy. If only shafts are selected, a filtered tree is displayed. If a mix of shafts and other elements is selected, and a selection is applied that is not applicable to shafts, the selected shafts are not updated.

Bulk

The bulk Space Use Class tool assigns Space Use Classes to a list of Rooms, Spaces, and Areas. The list of assignable elements can be searched and filtered and a Space Use Class can be assigned to the resulting element set.

This image shows Space Use Class Revit Rooms

The elements are explained the following table.

Fields	Description
Level	The drop-down lists all Revit levels. The selected level sets the context for the Revit Rooms, Revit Spaces, and Revit Areas tabs.
Revit Rooms	Lists all the Rooms on the selected Level that do not have Use Classifications assigned.
Revit Spaces	Lists all the Spaces on the selected Level that do not have Use Classifications assigned and are not linked to a room either by Revit, or by the Connector Spaces tool. If Rooms and Spaces are defined in the same model, and a Room and Space share the same boundary, then Revit links them.
Revit Areas	Lists all the Areas for any Area Schema on the selected Level that do not have Use Classifications assigned. Tip: Use Classification is only used for Spaces if a Maximo Real Estate and Facilities Space is directly created from the Revit Space. This is rare as Revit Spaces are typically linked to Maximo Real Estate and Facilities Spaces created from Rooms. You can bulk assign a Use Classification to spaces and then individually edit any of them that will be directly integrated.
Revit Shafts	All the Shafts associated with the selected Level that do not have Shaft Types assigned. Shafts use a subset of the Space Use Class hierarchy. When the Shaft tab is selected, the Space Use Class tree is filtered to show only the valid Shaft types.
Revit Rooms with Maximo Real Estate and Facilities Space Use Class	Lists the current rooms and spaces that have the Use Classifications assigned, and their assigned value. When the form is initially opened, this displays the current state of the model. Entries that have Space Use Classes and are not in the list of Space Use Classes stored in the model are shown in red. This can happen if the connector logs into a server with a different set of Space Use Classes that were used when the assignments were made. If the Revit Area Type does not match the BOMA type of the Space Use classes, the Area Type is shown in red. This may happen if the Area Type is set by some method other than the IBM Maximo Real Estate and Facilities Connector for BIM, or models configured with older versions of the connector.
Update Area Type	If this option is selected, when the form is accepted, all Areas that have Space Use Classes assigned have their Area Type updated to match the BOMA type of the Space Use Class.
Assign	When a Use Classification is selected, and at least one Room or Space is selected, this button is active. Pressing it assigns the Use Classification to all selected Rooms and Spaces, removes the Rooms and Spaces from their respective list, and adds them to the assigned table.
Maximo Real Estate and Facilities Space Use Class	The Space Use classification hierarchy from the server to which the Connector is logged into. This is retrieved at the time of login.
Assign All	Assigns the selected Use Classification to all Rooms and Spaces on all levels. Any previously assigned values are overwritten. All Rooms and Spaces are moved to the assigned table with the new value.
Assign Blank	Assigns the selected Use Classification to all Rooms and Spaces on all levels that do not currently have a value. All Rooms and Spaces are moved to the assigned table with the new value.
Remove	Removes all selected rows from the assigned table, clears the Use Classification value and returns them to their respective lists.
Update	Values in the assigned table can be directly updated. This is useful for updating assignments when the server list has changed. To update: Select one or more rows in the “Revit Rooms with Maximo Real Estate and Facilities Space Use Class” table. Select an entry in the Space Use Class tree. Click the Update action.
Export	Saves the current Use Classification list to a local file.
Import	This button is only active when the Connector is not logged into Maximo Real Estate and Facilities. It imports a Use Class list previously created by export and saves it in the model. This allows the Space Use Class to be used when a Maximo Real Estate and Facilities server is not available. Note: The imported list is overwritten by the current list from the server when the Connector logs into Maximo Real Estate and Facilities. Use Classifications are only used for creating new Maximo Real Estate and Facilities spaces. When integrating with existing spaces, or when synchronizing the model with Maximo Real Estate and Facilities, the Use Classification is updated from the linked Maximo Real Estate and Facilities space.

Areas from rooms

Revit uses Area Plans to support space planning. Area plans are used to calculate space and floor area.

Revit supports two types of Area Plans:

Gross Building: Only one is allowed.
Rentable: Area is calculated according to the BOMA 98 standards. A model may define any number.

Area plans are divided into Areas. Areas are drawn onto the floorplan and need not have any relationship with Rooms or Spaces. This means that there are four possible relationships between an Area and a Room.

The area boundaries match the room boundaries.
A room is comprised of exactly n areas. That is, none of the Area boundaries for areas within the room cross the Room boundary, and there is more than one Area within the Room.
An Area is encompassing exactly n Rooms. That is, none of the room boundaries for Rooms within the Area cross the area boundaries, and there is more than one Room within the Area, and the Area is completely filled by Rooms.
Areas are arbitrary. Area and room boundaries cross.

The Connector can use Area Plans to calculate Maximo Real Estate and Facilities floor area and Areas to calculate Maximo Real Estate and Facilities Space area. Since there is only one Gross Area Plan allowed, if it exists, it is used to calculate gross floor area. The Rentable Area Plan must be specified. Areas can be linked to Rooms assuming Areas are specified as described in case 1 or 2 above. When one or more Areas are linked to a Room, the Revit Room area is replaced by the sum of the area from the linked Areas.

The Connector can aid in implementing the first case by automating the space creation process. Use the Areas from Rooms tool to automate the following steps:

Creating an Area Plan from the selected Area scheme and level if one does not exist.
Creating Area separator lines by cloning the Room separator lines.
Cloning an Area from each Room and placing it within the cloned separator lines.
Assigning Area name and number from the name and number of the cloned Room.
Creating and placing Area Tags.
Associating the new Area with the Room from which it was derived.
Setting Area Type.

Note: The process clones the Room boundary. It does not implement any specific area measurement standard. It may be necessary to adjust the resulting Area Separator Lines to support a specific area measurement standard.

Creating areas from rooms

About this task

Areas and Area Tags require an insertion point that is within the bounding lines. To determine an insertion point, the tool first tests the center of the bounding box for the Room and uses it if it is within the Room. If it is not, it tests the anchor point for the Room Tag and uses it if it is within the Room. If it is not, an error is reported and no Area is created.

This image shows the Create Areas from Rooms form.

This table provides actions and notes for filling the Create Areas from Rooms form.

Field/Drop-down

Action

Area Schema

Select an Area Schema: Gross Building Area, Rentable Area, or a Custom Schema. To use this tool, the Area Schema must already exist in the model. Area Schema can be created with the “Area Plan” tool found on the Architecture tab.

Create Area Plan for Level

Select a level.

Area Plan Name

Select an existing Area Plan to reuse, or click New to create a new Area Plan. If New is selected, the New Area Plan field is enabled.

Create Areas boundaries and Areas

If this option is not selected, and an existing Area Plan is selected, existing Areas are deleted, but no new Areas are created. That is, it clears the Area Plan.

Link Area to Room

When selected, the steps that are manually performed in the Map Areas to Rooms tool are automatically performed as part of Area creation.

Copy Area Type from Maximo Real Estate and Facilities Space Use Class

If a Room has a Maximo Real Estate and Facilities Space Use Class assigned, the Area Type parameter of the Area created from the room is initialized from the BOMA class of the Space Use Class using the following mapping:

Maximo Real Estate and Facilities BOMA Class	Revit Area Type
Not Applicable	Building Common Area
Building Common	Building Common Area
Building Shared	Building Common Area
Exterior Walls	Exterior Area
Floor Shared	Floor Area
Office	Office Area
Other Tenant	Office Area
Store	Store Area
Vertical Penetration	Major Vertical Penetration

Important:

If Areas already exist for the selected Area Schema/Level combination, you are prompted to delete the existing Areas. It is not required that existing Areas be deleted. However, if they are not, Revit issues a warning whenever an existing Area and an Area created by this tool overlap, and the new Area may not be placed properly. These warnings must be manually resolved.

If existing Areas are deleted, all information in the existing Areas is lost. New Areas are created solely from the Rooms. In addition, the new Areas have different IDs from the deleted Areas even if they occupy essentially the same space. Any references to the Area by ID will be broken. When existing Areas are deleted, links between Level and Area Plan, and Room and Area created by the Map Areas to Rooms tool are automatically removed.

Room filter

The tool is primarily intended for a one-time generation of Areas after all rooms have been added to the model. However, it can also be used to generate Areas for a selected set of Rooms, either initially or after the model has been changed. Areas are only created for Rooms that are checked in the room filter.

When the form is initially displayed, Rooms in the filter are checked if they do not have an Area mapped to them, which presumes that no Area has been created for the Room. Running the tool “fills in” the missing Area. If Rooms already have Areas occupying some or all their area, a Revit error will result.

Map areas to rooms tool

The Map Areas to Rooms tool manages the association of Area Plans to Levels and Areas to Rooms. The function of this tool overlaps with the Areas tool. The Connector uses Revit Area Plans and Area for Maximo Real Estate and Facilities Floor and Space Area calculation.

When this form is first opened, it displays the current Room to Area linkage in the model, and the active Rentable Area Plan. The tool is only active if there are Area Plan(s) defined in the model.

Note: If a Level has Areas that are linked to Maximo Real Estate and Facilities Spaces, the Rentable Area Plan for that Level is locked and cannot be changed in the tool. The room to Area mapping created in the Area tools is also locked and cannot be changed in this tool. To modify the mapping, the linkage must be removed using the Area tool.

This image shows Link Revit Areas to Revit Rooms form.

The form has several parts so some care should be taken to ensure you are working in the right context. The following table explains the fields in the form:

Field	Description
Level	Select Area Plans for each Revit Level. For each Maximo Real Estate and Facilities Floor, three area plans are used to calculate area: Gross Area for the Floor’s Gross Area. This is typically measured to the outer face of the exterior wall of the building Gross measured area for the Floor’s Gross Measured Area. This is typically measured to the inner face of the exterior wall of the building and accounts for all area on the floor including voids shafts, columns etc. In Connector versions prior to 4.0, the Rentable Area Plan was used for the gross measured area calculation. To retain backwards compatibility, if no Gross Measured Area Plan is selected, and a Rentable Area Plan is, the Rentable Area Plan is used for the gross measured area calculation. Rentable for the rentable area of individual Maximo Real Estate and Facilities spaces. For Gross Area and Gross Measured Area, the floor area reported to Maximo Real Estate and Facilities is the sum of all the Areas in the selected Area Plan. Typically, this is a single area. I many cases Revit can automatically create the Area boundary when the Area Plan is created. The Gross Area Plan must be a Revit Gross Area Plan. Currently Revit only allows a single Gross Area Plan. The Gross Measured Area Plan and Rentable Area Plan are Revit Rentable Area Plans. In addition, the selected Level controls which Rooms and Areas are displayed in the next section.
Revit Rooms	This displays the list of Rooms on the Level not linked to an Area in the selected Area Schema. Each Area Schema has its own set of Rooms.
Revit Areas	For the Gross Area Schema, this displays the list of Areas defined for the Area Schema. For Rentable Area Schemas, the Area Schema must be selected. The list of areas displayed is for the selected Area Schema. The selected Area Schema also controls the set of linked areas displayed in the linked table. Links are shown for the Gross Area Schema and the selected Rentable Area Schema.
Link	When an entry is selected in the Rooms list and one or more entries are selected in the Areas list, pressing Link associates them, removes them from their respective lists and adds them to the Linked Rooms and Areas table in the correct section.
Auto Match	Auto match performs an exact name match of each room against the displayed area list. Each matching pair is linked as above.
Suggest	If the Suggest option is selected, the Area list is filtered by the selected room to only show Areas that have their insertion point within the bounding box of the selected room.
Show Linked Rooms	When this is not selected (the default), the Rooms list behaves as described above. Any Room that is linked to at least one Area is not displayed in the list. This makes it easy to see which Rooms still need to be linked. However, if additional Areas need to be added to a Room, then the Room must be displayed in the Revit Rooms list to create the new linkage. Selecting this option displays all Rooms.
Revit Rooms linked to Revit Areas	The table displays the Room to Area linkage that will be applied to the model if the form is accepted. Pay attention to the Rentable Area section as it changes based on the selected Rentable Area Plan.
Remove	Removes the highlighted row(s) from the linkage table returning the Rooms and Areas to their respective lists.
Copy Space Use Class to Area	If this option is selected when the form is accepted, each Area that is mapped to a Room will have its Space Use Class update to match the Room’s value if the Room has a value set.

The association between Area and Rooms is stored with the Rooms in hidden parameters.

Tip:

Even if you do not map rentable Areas to Rooms, select a Gross Measured Area Plan for use in calculating floor rentable area.
If you have worked with more than one Rentable Area Plan, be sure that the correct one is selected when you accept the form. Only the mappings for the selected Area Plan are saved and used.

Validate tool

The Validate tool tests and validates the IBM parameter values for all element types. It is the same validation performed individually by the tools in the Integrate section, but it does not require a Maximo Real Estate and Facilities login, or any elements to be integrated. It is a dockable property panel.

Validation is initiated when the tool is opened. It runs in the background. On completion, either a list of errors or a screen indicating that there are no errors is displayed. The following options appear, click accordingly:

Refresh: Reruns the validation.
Double click an error entry: Uses the standard Revit mechanism to display and select the element referenced by the error. For Types, it selects the elements but does not display the first component of the referenced type, and then opens the Type editor.
Tip: When correcting errors for IBM parameters whose values are generated from other parameters by a naming rule, it is generally best to correct the source parameters and rerun Populate Parameters with the required parameter type(s) set to always update.

Following is the list of validation tests performed:

Test	Result
Project Information	IBM.BuildingName, and the IBM.ModelName parameters have values. IBM.BuildingName, and the IBM.ModelName do not contain the # character. IBM.BuildingName, and the IBM.ModelName do not exceed 150 characters in length.

All the Areas referenced by the area lists in the IBM.GrossAreaSource and the IBM.RentableAreaSource reference Areas that exist in the model. All the Areas referenced by the area lists in the IBM.GrossAreaSource and IBM.RentableAreaSource are placed (have an area greater than 0.0).
Spaces	All Spaces have a value in their IBM.Name parameter. There are no duplicate values for the IBM.Name parameter in the list of Spaces on each level. The value of the IBM.Name parameter for all Spaces does not exceed 100 characters. All Spaces have a value for IBM.UseClassification. The IBM.UseClassification value is in the list of Use Classifications stored in the model.
Areas	All Areas have a value in their IBM.Name parameter. There are no duplicate values for the IBM.Name parameter in the list of Areas for the combination of Area Scheme and Level. The value of the IBM.Name parameter for all Areas does not exceed 100 characters. All Areas have a value for IBM.UseClassification. The IBM.UseClassification value is in the list of Use Classifications stored in the model. The Revit Area Type is set.

Family Instance/Component	All Components have a value in their IBM.Name parameter. There are no duplicate values for the IBM.Name parameter in the list of Components. The value of the IBM.Name parameter for all Components does not exceed 100 characters. All Components have a value in their IBM.BarCode parameter. There are no duplicate values for the IBM.BarCode parameter in the list of Components.

Defining relationships with parameter mapping

About this task

Parameter mapping defines relationships between parameters in Revit elements and fields in Maximo Real Estate and Facilities records. The Sync tool uses this mapping to transfer values between the mapped fields in Revit and the Maximo Real Estate and Facilities server. This is essentially an Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) tool with two components; a definitions component that is described here, and an active component that is a part of the Sync process and described in the section Sync.

This image shows the parameter mapping tool.

Procedure

Select an element type. This may be Project Information, Level, Room, Space, or any category or family supported by the Integrate Asset operation. The selected element sets the content of the next two tables.
Select a parameter.
The following displayed Revit Categories fall into two groups: Project Information, Level, Room, and Space. Categories in the first group display all the parameters available for the element type. Categories in the second group work as: If the category is selected, all the shared parameters for the category are displayed. If a Family is selected, Type or Instance parameters must be selected. All the parameters for the family of the selected type are displayed.
Parameters are marked as read-only if they are defined as read-only or the base data type is element ID, which cannot be updated from Maximo Real Estate and Facilities. Type parameters are always read-only.
Select a field. The source of the fields is based on the Revit element type as given in the table below:

Revit Element TRIRIGA Record Type

Project Information triBuilding

Level triFloor

Room triSpace

Space triSpace

Fields for Family Instances are drawn from one of the Maximo Real Estate and Facilities asset types. The specific business object type must be selected.

The fields actually come from queries that can be user configured. See Configuring IBM Maximo Real Estate and Facilities Connector for BIM. The first column has the localized query field label, and the next column contains the field data type.
If both the selected parameter and the selected field are numeric, the Units tab is displayed. Select the units used to exchange data. Revit data is converted into and out of the selected units.
Click the Add action to create the mapping.
This removes the parameter and field from their respective tables. A parameter or field can only be used for one mapping for a given element type.
Note:
- Each model can have a single mapping list associated with it. The mapping list may be cleared from the model with the Detach tool.
- Mapping lists may be saved to the Maximo Real Estate and Facilities server or an external file.
- Mapping lists may be loaded from the Maximo Real Estate and Facilities server or from a previously saved file. Doing so replaces the existing mapping list in the model with the newly loaded mapping list.
- When a new mapping list is loaded, the element type for each map entry is matched by name to element types (Families) in the current model. If one or more element types cannot be found in the model, then the View Unmatched Map Entries button appears. It displays the list of map entries with Families that are not in the current model.
- Entries in this list may be deleted but not otherwise altered. If the parameter map is saved to the server or an external file, these entries are included in the saved map.
