Hi,

Does anyone know of an existing script or tool that can convert BuildingSurface:Detailed objects to their respective more specific objects like Wall:Detailed, Floor:Detailed, or RoofCeiling:Detailed?

I was hoping to do it with a RegEx find and replace, but it needs to retain the name of the object, so I think it would need to be a slightly more detailed script, but hoped something similar existed before I wrote a new one.

so for example:

BuildingSurface:Detailed,
    L1-101-EntranceExit_Srf_0,  !- Name
    FLOOR,                   !- Surface Type
    Floor_Slab,              !- Construction Name
...

would be replaced with

Floor:Detailed,
    L1-101-EntranceExit_Srf_0,  !- Name
    Floor_Slab,              !- Construction Name
...

Thanks, Ben
