AECOsim to Dialux 4.13 - Building Height Wrong In DIALux 4.13
Hi,
When I export a building's geometry from AECOsim to DIALux 4.13, the building is always 3 meters high in DIALux 4.13, regardless of its actual height in AECOsim.
How can I fix this please?.

Display Text in status bra " Selected tool > prompt "
HI!
We have son old user command files and haven't any resen to change them because they use simple key-in command and MSG. We upgraded from Aecosim Building designer Connect update 4 to Open Building designer update 5 and now the MSG in our user command files stop working.
Is there any way to display messages in status bar "CF>PR" feld whit UC? or do we need to change code language( upgrading the commands to VBA)?
A copy of one of the simpel UC files
;
MSG ' SF = Change all '
MSG ' PR = BETONG: Konturlinje, genomskuren '
KEY ' LV=K01 '
KEY ' WT=bylevel '
KEY ' LC=bylevel '
KEY ' CO=bylevel '

No Dataset delta document with U5 installation
There is no Dataset delta guide delivered with U5 Dataset_UK
I am assuming that this is an error as updates to the stair, railings and curtain wall tools will require updated catalogs and systems files???

Network Installation OpenBuildings
I've just installed OpenBuildings on the network through the installation setup. I would expect that having done this everything would be ready to go, was I wrong.
When I go to create a file, the path to the seed file is not getting picked up.
When I check the config from Configuration Explorer I have 88 Warnings and 4 Errors.
This blog post by Marc (who is Legend don't get me wrong) but it just confuses the installation process for me. It has part 1 to 5 blog posts and then down the bottom additional steps for AECOsim. Being this is an AECOsim forum there needs to be a AECOsim installation process only.

Auto-numbering building elements
Hi
I've placed over 250 piles in a project I'm working on. Now I would like to name them all individually on the format "P101" and so on. Is there an easy way to have openbuildings do this for me. I want the number under "ID | Item ID" in the identification definition.
Running Connect edition, update 5.
Regards,
Robert

TFDSExplorerSettings
Hi
What is the purpose of the TFDSExplorerSettings.rsc-file?
It lays on our company's server-configuration in the dataset_SE/settings-folder. But in the corresponding folder in the new dataset from update 5, that file doesn't exist.
What trouble will I cause when don't place the file back afterreplacingg the dataset from update 4 to the one from update 5.
Regards,
Robert

DELETING REDUNDANT TEXTSTYLES
The configvar MS_COMPRESS_OPTIONS is supposed to take out the redundant styles when editing the expansion with "+TEXTSTYLES". And then update the *.ucf
Nothing is happening after restart. Any idea why? (I notice now the testing *.ucf is still untitled. Could that be a reason?)
Thanks for hints,
Ingemar

user pref file
Hi,
how to make my personal.ucf is written in the same directory as my personal...UPF (on the network)
I've created:
_USTN_HOMEROOT = $(_USTN_ORGANIZATION)USERS/$(USERNAME)/$(computername)/
_USTN_LocalUserAppDataPath = $(_USTN_HOMEROOT)/
but still the personal.ucf is written to:
C:\.....\AppData\Local\Bentley\OpenBuildingsDesigner\10.0.0\prefs (on the computer where OBD is installed)

RFA-I Support Roadmap ?
Hi,
A lot of incoming improvements in Mstn and OpenBuildings. And there is also the ODA's BIMrv SDK.
Categories Not Supported: seems to have been unchanged since 2013. It would be good to leverage the ODA SDK to provide access to these... soon?
Revit's Family Visibility Settings would be good to emulate using nascent Named Presentations. Firms apparently build up a library of .rfa's of Drafting Views that get inserted into projects. Most firms using Aecosim tend to also have Revit. It would be good to be able to import (and export) 2d details. Mstn/OBD's new Named Presentations, Perforators, Item Types, constraints solving tools should be more amenable to absorbing Revit content.
|
|
Partially supported Categories: OBD's new Curtain Wall and Railing tools might be more amenable to absorbing their counterpart System Families from Revit.
"These categories can be imported as stand-alone objects, but are not used as part of a complex system."

Perforators Tech Preview - Copy Problem
1. Place a Perforator in a Linear Solid (Wall 1)
2. Copy Linear Solid to create Wall 2.
3. Wall 2 retains the Perforator, but Wall 1 loses it... Not expected behaviour. There should be two Walls with their associated Perforators.
4. Actually, the Perforator is still part of the Wall 1's Parametric Solid tree... pretty confusing!

Perforators Tech Preview - Post Insertion UI Smarts
The Perforator needs to retain a lot more parametric smarts after it is inserted, similar to the way the existing TF Perforators work.

Perforators Tech Preview - Properties Panel
The naming of the Perforator elements should be easily recognisable in the Properties Panel.
1. Place Linear Solid (Wall)
2. Place Perforator Cell
3. Select Perforator from PP and stretch.
4. This reveals the original... Perforator?
A bit confusing.

Exporting to DWG,
Scale exported as cm and not mm, I've set units to mm in all files as well as setting up the dwg seed but am still out by one decimal,
My workflow includes placing a newly created catalogue item, calling this from a parametric cell within a cell library, with the placement coordinates coming from a csv file
The export process is manual by selecting - file, export, common file format, dwg...
Can you please point me to where or which variable needs to be set to ensure the master unit setting is not overridden.
I've seen posts asking the similar question over the years but no answer or resolve provided, I'm running ABD Connect 10.4.0.69
all help appreciated

What Bentley product do I have to use for metallic shed
I have to do a project (civil engineering homework) like that: a industrial metallic shed. With some walls and it’s foundation. I want to put some level of detail like base plates and it’s bolts. My question: can’t I do this only using OpenBuildings or will I need to use something like ProStructures or RAM?
