Not Responding/Crashing

Hello 

I'm a New user to your program AECOSim SS5 V8i as my experience was only on Revit (I'm BIM/COBie Specialist Engineer) , but my company is forcing me to use it coz the whole Arch. and Structural model from the designers were designed using this program

Despite that its a non user friendly interface (no offense ) , but since i started operating on it , it crashes a lot 

when i try to modify elements it works, but some other times it just lags and give me the (Not Responding) term in the top of the screen and it hold still like this for ages 

this thing happens when i just try to modify elements and add instance data in order to be able to export the IFC and COBie spreadsheet 

anyone knows what shall i do ?

Cadconforming ABD model in v8i

Our client uses the Altiva CADConform which is only supported through v8i. I have built a small model in ADB Ss6 and am trying to get the v8i cadconform to agree.

From the error report under the Brief description the message is as below:

Any Graphic Cell; Cell Scale: 1.0 x 1.0 (actual size); Cell Scale: 0.01 x 0.01 (after scaling); Cell Components: 22.

I'm lead to believe this is some sort of scaling issue. The sheet which has been supplied has the same units of resolution as the model and drawing that I have used in aecosim.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Cheers

Modeling Constraints - ABD Update 2

Hi

I have just recently started using ABD Connect and I'm currently exploring the contraints tools and potentially using for a group of piles

The process was draw 2D circle, add a 'By Element' contraint for the pile diameter and then extruded which created a 'Parametric Solid'.

This solid was copied 3 more times and then a 'Distance' constraint added for the pile centrelines.

I'm able to maniulate the pile diameter and spacing individually but i was hoping to find a way of updating on bulk......

Does anyone know if this is possible or is this one for wishlist? (I like the way these tools are heading and appreciate it's early days)

After RVT to DGN conversion using IFC export option, some of the building elements (slab) converts to "Smart solid\Line", others (walls and columns) convert to "Cell:IfcWallStandardCase\Line" and "Shared cell:...". How to convert "Cell..." and "Shared cell.." elements to Smart solid elements, because otherwise i can not modify and see quantities of these elements. Pictures attached.

Where is the right location for these files. I want to have different grids and floors for buildings so I don't want the grid in the company dataset location. Where should they go? In the workspace or worksheet?

How do you remove defunct grid system from your project?

It appears anytime one click 'create/update grid models' button on the 'Grid System' dialogue box, a multitude of grid systems are added to the file (see attached image-far left). 

What is the purpose of this? and why can't you delete the defunct grid systems?

Could this be preventing the correct and up to date grid system from loading. The floor manager appears erratic and intermittently?

?

Using a 4k monitor attached to Dell precision 7720 laptop and running windows 10 (64bits). The floor manage appear  to work far better in the 'Connect Edition' (64bit) but I am stuck with the SS6 because the Connect Edition is not backward compactible with material assignments from the SS6.

EC Schemas: a Strategic MicroStation Technology?

I'm attempting to find digestible information about EC Schemas.  I'd like to help a friend who is a worldwide BIM manager for a well-known engineering company.  Can I find anything on the Bentley Systems website?  Nada, nothing, nic w ogóle, niente di niente, nichts, rien du tout.

By 'digestible' I mean resources that use everyday English to describe EC Schemas, what they are used for and their strategic potential.  As a developer of software for MicroStation, I've been aware for many years of EC Schemas and the technology's potential in Bentley Systems' base platform.  However, as a strategic technology there's nothing on offer for the man-in-the-street wanting to know more.  How do I convince someone that MicroStation and its vertical apps. are a good path to take towards BIM and data exchange?  How do I counter arguments along the lines of 'Revit already does that'?  Where can someone find examples of core technology EC Schemas emerging in vertical apps. such as AECOSim?

Pipework corrupting in Dynamic Views

When using Dynamic Views in mechanical services, i am getting pipework corruptions where the pipework that has been cut through appears much larger

it seems the only way to avoid the curved lines running through the drawing is to turn off the pipe level leaving just the insulation.

is there a better way to fix this problem or is it just another nail in the dynamic view coffin?

bizarre extruded solids behaviour when applying parts

I have created some irregular surfaces which I am attempting to extrude to make into slabs. All goes to plan until I apply parts. When using a shaded or illustration display mode, some of the geometry jumps and displays incorrectly. 

It appears to only be the case with Extruded solids. I have found that if I convert to a smart solid they will display correctly. Needs fixed anyway

spaces and floors not flooding

I cannot remember how many times I have raised this over the last few years, BUT when will bentley actually make the space by flood and floor by flood work consistently. 

It appears that as soon as there is any kind of complexity in the model Spaces by flood and floors by flood just stop working. -  Error - no enclosing region found despite there clearly being enclosing regions. I then further have to mess around to create 2D shapes to enclose areas, that are already enclosed, usually by extracting the face of a floor, or by flooding a 2D region. 

When there are no holes(ie columns) this is fine, albeit 3 steps rather than 1, as I can create space from shape, however I cannot create a space from a group hole. 

Has anybody from bentley ever used these tools and found out how inconsistent they are. So ridiculously bad

What is the purpose of 'Drawing Boundary' does it work?

I have tried 'Drawing Boundary' in AECOsim SS6 and in CONNECT Edition, in either case it does not seem to have any effect on the visible aspect of the drawing, so what is it for?

In the attached image the reference drawing was 'fence clip' inside the borders of the A1 title block and the grid labels were 'fence stretched' in the ‘drawing model’ to fit inside the A1 sheet borders while the ‘Drawing Boundary’ does nothing outside the title block as shown. Unfortunately, this is only a temporary solution for one-off printing because when you re-open the file after closing, the grid recovers back to its original position beyond the borders and labels are cropped out; meaning the above exercises needs repeating for every print. Could the ‘Drawing Boundary’ not be put to good use by containing the reference drawing including grid labels inside the A1 borders as the name suggests?

DV annotation cells - unable to change the presentation in Connect Edition U2

January 29, 2018, 7:48 am

I have a problem trying to make the symbols generated as annotations to Dynamic Views look the way I want them to. It used to work in SS4, but seems in Connect it's not.

In my dataset both in the dgnlib-folder:

  • DetailingSymbolstyles.dgnlib (1): I have all the models in this file modified to look the way I want them to (text font, text size, symbols);
  • Drawingseed_architectural.dgnlib (2): This file should be the file in which I define the settings using the Detailing Symbol Styles dialog, since this is used as seed to generate drawings/sheets with the Dynamic View method.

When in (2) I can edit some Detailing Symbol Styles, I edit the 'Default'. When changing a cell, I can select every cell name available in (1) in the dropdown menu, which seems to show the file is found. I can also select another cell, and when saved the new selected file is applied to the Drawing Title on the sheet in (2). However, these cells don't look like the ones in (1), I changed font size/style and even added some extra elements (some random lines) in the models, but this doesn't seem to show.

I found some things on this forum, which made me define a variable, which wasn't defined yet, and made it refer to (1):

  • MS_DETAILINGSYMBOLS_CELLLIST= B:\Connect\Configuration\Datasets\Dataset_3.0\dgnlib\DetailingSymbolStyles.dgnlib

However this had no result, so maybe this variable isn't in connect anymore which would explain it's abscence in the first place, but not sure about that.

Any ideas what could be the problem?
