Example 8: Generate Expanded ID for Openings

Automatically generate an expanded ID for all Doors and Windows that includes:

•Element ID

•Home Story Number

•Opening Direction (Orientation)

In the Expression shown below, the CONCAT function joins these three data into a single String. This will be the new ID property (called “Door/Window Full Element ID”).

Note: Since Home Story Number is not a String-type data, you must convert it to a String using the STR function.
