display rule prevents elements from unifying

$
0
0

I have a display rule set-up on my forward view to hatch spaces based on their criteria, this generally works fine, however there are 2 issues. 

1st is that when I apply the display rule, unification of elements doesn't work when the view is cached.  

2nd, is that 2D cells mask out the hatches. 

  this image shows the drawing view without the display style applied

  this image shows the same but with the hatch display rule applied, note additional lines in wall, and the hatch masked by the door cell

ABD Ss6 best workflow for removing installed Part and Families

$
0
0

I would like to know of the approach to take to remove Part and Families that come with ABD, this would also include the levels too. Am I able to keep some or do I need to start from scratch. The work I do is in the mining/materials handling and I only use aecosim for modelling steel structures. I've tried modelling concrete with the structural design tools but keep reverting back to solid modelling for its ease of use.  

Thanks

Aecosim Mechanical : Copy function with the same intelligence than Move Function

Hi, I have a suggestion for Aecosim Developper,

It would be really nice to make a "copy" command with the same properties as the "Move" function!
What do you think, it would be really practical for duct and pipe with slope !!

thanks

CONNECT Edition - Configuration Changes

Hi,

Can anyone help with how you get the install to change the desktop shortcut as per below from the "CONNECT Edition - Configuration Changes" document?

Tensor’s administrator configures the Bentley application installation to install the application desktop shortcut to include the command line argument “-WR\\Tensor\MicroStation\Configuration\”.

I want to be able to create a deployment that automatically adds the argument to the shortcut.

Cheers

Hi,

I am using Aecosim SS6 Ver. 08.11.09.829 Via Projectwise SS4 I am working on a MEP project and I am now creating sheet. I am using Drawing Extraction Manager to create my sheet and I used the "Process a Reference Group Model" option but when I open my extracted file, space labels are not included. What am I missing?

Thanks,

Putting AU dataset on the network Ss6

$
0
0

I'm having a little trouble trying to config abd to read the dataset from the network. I have followed along to the Quickconfig guide but I must be misssing something.

From what I have gathered a simplified version of the hierarchy tree is like this, I'm just including the STF_DATASET but the others are children of _TF_DATASETS too.

My problem is in BuildingDesigner.cfg the following statements are declared.

TF_DATASETS : $(_TF_WORKSPACEROOT)BuildingDatasets\

STF_DATASET : $(TF_DATASETS)$(STF_DATASETNAME)\

So in my Project config file I assign 

TF_DATASETNAME = Dataset_MyCompany

Which points STF_DATASET to C:\ProgramData\Bentley\AECOsimBuildingDesigner V8i Ss6\WorkSpace\BuildingDatasets\Dataset_MyCompany. This is obviously not what is intended to happen

Detailing Symbol Styles Connect Edition

Hi,

We redrew the DetailingSymbolStyles.dgnlib in version ss6 which works fine but when we copy it forward to the connect edition it doesn't read it.

Where should the file be stored in our network version and how do you get it to read it.

I have put it everywhere that I can think of and removed the default installed one but it still uses the standard setup.

Is there a different file that we need to bring forward as well?

Cheers

Detach instance data to USER elements - ABD CONNECT UPG2

$

Hi there, I'm trying to Detach instance data on a beam created from a solid, using the Detach tool but it deletes Family and Part info but doesn't delete Datagroup name and catalog. I can see it in the Building Element Info dialog.

Process: I first created the solid (curved "beam"), then I used Attach tool convert it into a catalog beam with Datagroup info, and when I want to modify datagroup data I cannot do it because "the element already has instance data".

1.- How can I delete ALL instance data from an element created this way?

2.- How can I apply Datagroup data from an element to my "USER" element?. Using Schedules only works with APP elements, not with USER elements.

Thank you

ifc export - objects not being mapped/categorised properly

$

i am exporting to ifc and generally this is going smoothly, however I have a series of elements which will only export as generic models/objects. 

Main culprits seem to be slabs, compound walls and doors, though general cells etc also. around 50% of my geometry.  

Single walls export no problem and when opened in solibri or navisworks are grouped as 'walls'. Compound walls however only import as generic models, example below.

Create plan views has STOPED working!

For the last couple of weeks I am unable to create any floor plans from the model using `create plan views` or from any other method.    The Create Plan Views icon, gives you three options and all of them produce the same.  Either a blank black CAD screen or a grayish empty drawing screen set to an isometric view.  I am not doing anything different than I have in the last 5 years but despite a reinstall it hit and miss but definitely getting worse.  Any ideas?
