Model Feature

Overview

Model Feature Service that provides easy access to Organizer groups in the context of a Trimble Connect project. The initial release allows read access to both Manual and Rule-based Organizer groups in the context of a project to enable automated consumption of this data.

Creating, updating, and deleting Organizer groups is still done using the Trimble Connect for Browser application. The feature set provided by the service will grow over time.

For low-level/write access to Organizer groups or non-project use cases, see the Organizer service.

Use Cases

A typical use case within the Trimble Connect ecosystem is grouping construction objects in BIM models into breakdown structures. Examples include:

• Location breakdown structures
• Object property-based breakdown structures (for example, type, material)
• Work packages

Concepts

Groups exist in the context of a project. Both types of groups are collections of model entities. Each group can have subgroups under it, creating a hierarchy of groups.

The group types differ on how the collection of entities was created: either manually from a set of entities (Manual Group) or using a rule based on the entities’ properties (Rule-based Group).

Regions

Trimble Connect offers regional API endpoints that you can use to make your requests. The resources in each region are independent of similar resources in other regions. Each Trimble Connect project is hosted in a specific region, therefore all data in the project must be accessed through that regional API endpoint (see /regions API).

Getting Started

You need to complete the steps in the Getting started guide to be able to call the API.

API

See the API specification.
