Drawing referenced into a Sheet is masking another Drawing

$

0

I am using ABD SS6 V8i, we have design models, composition models, drawings and sheets.  Drawings were created from saved view in composition file.  We have a problem where a drawing referenced on a sheet is masking another drawing ( overall plan drawing and Stair drawing).  I have tried update sequence but it doesn't do anything.  If I turn off reference display and only show individually I can see that it's is there, that's how I know its been masked by the other Drawing reference.

Any ideas on how to solve this?

Problem mirroring a cut form in anything other than wireframe display

I have created a form by using the cut solids by curves tool, which I then mirrored. Original & mirrored copy both looked fine in wireframe view but as soon as I change the display to monochrome or smooth etc the mirrored copy seems to lose the cut surfaces & reverts back to uncut form.

Point Cloud representation in a Clipped View

Hello Good ABD Community,

I have a question for you guys to answer.

I've been working with pointclouds and ABD, and when I clip a PointCloud trough the Clip Volumen tool, it looses its representation and you can only see the points in black or white.

Is there any way to view the points in RGB, or any other representation, in a clipped volume?

Having Trouble Activating AECOsim

Hi All,

Not sure if this is in the right section or not - I find this site to have the worst forum layout I've ever seen. If I'm in the wrong section please direct me elsewhere.

I own a perpetual license for AECOsim building designer, firstly when I activated it I always had a little bit of issue with which option to use. I.e. Select user, non select user, node locked user etc. And I think I tried a couple of them before my AECOsim activated. 

After activation it all worked fine. But fast forward one year later to today, the program flicked over to a 7 day trial version. I tried activating it, nothing seemed to work. When I used the select user or non select user I'm pretty sure from memory it said it was activated yet I was still on the trial. Then the node locked user method always gave me an operation failed outcome. So I thought I'd wait until the trial ended and deal with it then.

Trial ended, tried to activate, got the same result as last time, with the select user/non select user it said it was activated - but wasn't. Then when I did the node locked and got the operation failed outcome, AECOsim would just suddenly open afterwards and put me back on a 7 day trial.

I've done this about 5 times now and I don't know what to do to get the product to stay activated as it has been previously.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

AECOsim SS6 V8i, The Drawing has lost the connection to the saved view for some reason, when I click on the reference and select reference presentation I used to always have the option to update from saved view.

Why is this option gone?

Any ideas why and how do we fix it? It is happening with all plumbing components, and we are using AECOsim SS6. This issue wasn't happening 2-3 months ago (last time we used the tool).

CONNECT Edition - Drawing seed files

Hi

I have one problem I don't understand when creating new drawings files from a seed:

1. I draw a callout 

2. I choose to create a new drawing

3. I ask to create a new file for this drawing and open it.

4. Problem: ABD always says it uses DesignSeed.dgn as a seed file to create the new drawing file but this is not true bacuase I edit this seedfile in order to custom the new drawing files I create and it never Works.

Which one is the seed file, or the configuration variable to point at, ABD uses to create new drawing files? I want to edit it in order to set the right table color and the right units and so on. And this seed  file is not DesignSeed.dgn

Lots of thanks

Unable to View Model Upon Starting Program

$

Hello All,

I am a relatively new user to Aecosim V8i Select Series 6 and have encountered a problem that I have never experienced before. Up until a few days ago I have successfully been using the same .dgn file on both Microstation and Aecosim to complete CAD/BIM for a work project.

Since yesterday when I openthe file in Aecosim I am unable to view my model and cannot figure out how to get my model visible again. There is a large dialogue box with a clickable link that says "Show" that I have never seen before and the program does not respond when I click "Show". I've attached a screenshot that shows the program after I select the file.

Does anyone have a recommendation on how to get the program working again? Thanks in advance for your help with this issue. 

Sincerely, 

Andrew
