The Support Selection Rule (SSR) that the software uses to select the list of appropriate supports is determined by the HgrDisciplineFilter worksheet, from HS_System.xls. The filter relates the interfaces, on which you are attempting to place a support, to the SSR to be used for those interfaces. For example, if you place a support on a straight pipe feature, then the SSR is SupportSelRule,Ingr.SP3D.Support.Content.Rules.StandardSupportSelRule.

The HgrDisciplineFilter sheet also determines the valid DisciplineType. In the case above, DisciplineType is set to 1 (Piping Supports Discipline). Therefore, the SSR can use this discipline type to filter out supports that are not meant to be placed on pipe and return only supports with a DisciplineType of 1.

The DisciplineType for a given support is set on the support's Excel spreadsheet using the DisciplineType attribute.

The DisciplineType attribute is a codelist defined in the AllCodelist.xls workbook. The codelist has several valid values, as shown below.

Only supports whose DisciplineType matches the DisciplineType determined by the HgrDisciplineFilter worksheet are eligible for use.
