HI there,
I'm new to AECOsim. I have started my journey some day ago. Initially, I have stuck with the concept or catalogue, family, part, and items. I can get how elements are grouped here in AECOsim. Could anyone please help me by example.
For example in Revit, we have Category, Family, type, and instance. How could we define these things in AECOsim?
For example a double panel window or door. How to categories it ?
Thanks and Regards,
Usman
Hi
I'm trying to clean up the definitions when placing beams, columns, walls and slabs to fit our way of work. But I can't get rid of the Structura Data, it don't show in the catalog editor. Super annoying when the betongbalk (concrete beam) has default material steel.
Any ideas? Running connect edition, Aecosim update 4.

we have some .mxd file and want to open in AECOsim. please advise.
We are in need of the basic annotation tools and even more in AECOSim Microstation
I find that AECOSIM is our modeling platform and the AECOSim Mstation would be the annotation platform
We need this for speed of production and for when we are working in 2d projects that have NO 3d but still need basic elements like the annotation tools here.
Half our load in work does not required any 3d and would actually cost money to produce in 3d and gain no value. Half needs 3d whre productive (another topic)
I cannot find this to add to our ribbon in AECOSim Mstation
Hi,
We are starting to use the ISM exporter for our engineers to use in STAADPRO I believe.
We have a model with both Concrete walls, Floors, & steel frames. When we export we only get the steel members to export. We have been following the procedure out lined here and you'll see in step 4 the ISM translator is picking up members, solids & walls.
My only thought is that the Slabs and walls aren't part of the structural catalog, in a test model i can insert concrete beams & columns, steel beams and columns and pile/foundations and they are picked up in the ISM translator.
I've added walls to the structural catalog with similar definitions as the architectural walls yet they still wont come though.
Is there something simple that i have missed? or is there a mapping file that needs to be updated.
Currently running AECOsim Connect Update 4
Any help would be greatly appreciated

How do I correct this error
"Processing Visible Edges extraction in tiled mode due to memory constraints.
Can i create a custom Label which contain Pipe abbreviation and BOP?
I am running through all our project design files and compressing them. I am having an issue with the odd file where abd crashes and I get the System Fault bad memory error.
On this particular file I have detached all the reference files and then reopened the file. I have noticed in the message bar and the bar at the bottom left files are being loaded that are no longer attached. Is this the standard behaviour of abd?
I am using AECOsim CONNECT Edition update 4.
Sometimes when activating the section callout, it appears in the bottom. I was expecting it on the top. How to I change this? I believe it is related to the way I creating the section. However, I would think there is a way to change this.
Thank you

Hi All,
I have site levels (heights) for a project, and I am wanting to model the terrain. The project is a small deck off the back of an existing house, and there will be a lot of instances where we are doing small residential alterations through to medium commercial (e.g schools) which don't usually require a full geotechnical survey or contours, we have a level reader, zero it at the floor level and then take the readings of the ground levels around the building resulting in points.
What is the best way to model this, and then be able to alter it if we are excavating, adding retaining, flattening a site etc, and so that it can show up as a line when adding sections and elevations to the models and creating drawings? I have tried to find a tutorial, but the available information for how to do this includes complex georeferencing (which we never use)
Would love to hear the methods for smaller scale terrain modelling and your suggestions, please see images added for reference to the said project. If someone could also add a step by step description/images that would be fantastic and much appreciated!

We just invoked disconnected mode for the cached dynamic views on an complicated detail sheet. The performance gain was very impressive. But the saved view names listed under "orientation" are gone, replaced with "unknown". What is the intended procedure to reconnect and refresh a saved view if, say, the underlying model has significant changes? Or is disconnect-ing intended to be a one- time irreversible process?

Hi All,
I'm certain I am missing something really basic here.
I have created both text and dimension styles and stored them inside the same dgnlib entitled 'TextDimStyles_COP.dgnlib'. I have located this dgnlib on our network within the Organization\Dgnlib folder.
MS_DGNLIBLIST is defined at organisation level (this is not defined by me at any other level):
MS_DGNLIBLIST > $(_USTN_ORGANIZATION)dgnlib/*.dgnlib # Design library files
I have ensured that the text within each dimension style points to a corresponding text style of the required height/font etc. I have attached our dgnlib here.
The problem is that when I place a new dimension inside a normal dgn, the library text styles are ignored and the dimension text reverts to the Style(none) by default.
Any ideas?

Hi,
How to create a parametric cell with voids (for example door) so that when I place that parametric cell on a wall in AECOSIM it automatically cut the wall according to the size of the door.
Thank you in advance.

Hi All,
I am trying to set up some display rules to control the visibility of a whole group of levels depending on part of their name. I had hoped that i could do something like the following condition.
IF ELEMENT-Elements.Level contains (or begins with), A-Zz_20.... How would one perform this task?
In the help documentation is see the following drop down of operators available. See below:
However contrary to this, there are only four available operators in AECOsim. See below:
Hi all,
Here's one I can't figure out...
My Section Cut Graphics are visibile on my "drawing" but invisible on my "sheet"
See below:

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance..

Hello!
I have generated a DGN from a DWG and now I would like to add IFC properties to the elements to generate an IFC but when I try to add them to a "Family", it seems that I don't have aby option to choose.
I'm a new user for AECOSim and I know that I may have been missing something. Maybe I don't have the IFCPsets? and if that may be the problem, how can I add them to an existing DGN?
Thank you all for your help and I wish you an excellent weekend!
Kindest regards,
Arturo Leon
Hi
In v8i we've used the tool "cut solids by curves" to create penetrations in slabs, walls and structural framework. It seems it don't work any more. What tool should I use instead? I've found the "construct opening" which works for openings. But for eg. a slab recess it don't work.
Regards,
Robert
Any word on when this will likely be available?
just in time for 2020 no doubt!!
Hi All,
My file has four references in one of my files all of which have live nesting turned off.
However, references are being nested in two of the references. I've never seen this in V8i.
What could be causing this? Has anyone else experienced something similar. See below.
