4.5.6 Example expressions for automatic linking

There is a practically unlimited number of possible expressions for automating recipes. The following table is intended to provide a limited number of examples to stimulate ideas for possible ingredients. Individual expressions can also be combined in most cases.

The target elements	A suitable expression
All wall	element.type = “Wall”
Any element with an ID containing “pipe”	element.id contains “pipe”
Only walls where any material name from the list of all skins contains the word “brick”	wall.material contains “brick”
Any element falling under the Uniclass 2015 Waste disposal functions category	element.classification("Uniclass 2015").code startsWith “EF_50”
Any element with a parameter called gs_list_manufacturer set to “Armitage Shanks”	element.parameter.gs_list_manufacturer = “Armitage Shanks”
Only objects (placed with the Object tool) with a property called “Under Ground Power” set to “Single Phase”	Object.property(“Under Ground Power”) = “Single Phase”

This list will be expanded over time to include examples thought to be broadly useful.

The following section (4.6, Optional Measurements) should also be read to fully harness conditional measurements.
