Sheet A-104 · Make requirements tangible

Write your requirements once. Check every model against them.

Say what information your project needs - in plain terms, not hand-written XML - and see which elements have it and which don't.

Already in? Open the IDS Ruler from the left rail.

One requirement, two views

Run it on a model and every wall without a fire rating is named, so the conversation is about a wall rather than a spreadsheet row.

01 · How it works

Three steps. No ceremony.

Step 1
Write the rule
Pick what it applies to and what must be true. The Ruler builds the specification for you.
Step 2
Run it on a model
See which elements pass and which don't, and jump to each one.
Step 3
Share it as IDS
Export a standard IDS file for other tools, or import one somebody sent you.
