Override dataset on organization level
Hi
I've had a few problems with Openbuildings lately, some of which I think I've caused myself. The delivered Swedish dataset is not always very good, or at least not adapted to our way to work. So when setting up the configuration for Connect I thought I'd make some changes to it. But with not very much experience of AECOsim it might not have been as good of an idea as intended. I'll try to explain what I've done and why to see if there's a better way to accomplish what I desire.
First. As I said I wanted to make changes to the dataset, in which case I refer to the dataset that includes building elements like walls and beams. The first example; all walls that come with ABD and dataset_se are grouped together as inner or outer walls, making it really hard to pick the one you want. But more importantly, I wanted to be able to add different definitions depending on the type of wall (like concrete grade if it's a concrete wall, but not have that definition available if it's a framed partition wall).
So I created new catalog type on organization level, copied over the delivered walls to these new catalogs and divided them depending on certain properties. One for concrete, one for insulation, one for existing walls and so on. At the same time I deleted them from the dataset file since I don't want doubles. But this meant that with every new update of OBD, I couldn't use the delivered dataset without having to edit it a little first.
I did the same for slabs. With structural elements like beams I had a little different approach. The delivered sorting into catalogs where ok, concrete beams and steel beams were already separated, making it possible to add definitions relevant to steel to steel beams, and definitions for concrete to concrete beams. So I added a couple of newly created definition types to each catalog type on organization level, in a file called .../Configuration/Organization/DatagroupSystem/StructuralCatalogTypesexts.xml. Looking like this:
But at the same time there was a lot of definitions on both walls and beams that just toke focus of the ones we needed. All users are not modeling experts and need guidance. In order to get rid of that information I decided to hide definitions we don't use. Below are some of the definitions available when placing a steel beam right out of the swedish dataset: We are interested in only the phase and Object Classification. But the definitions I've added myself I want my users to use. As you see there's a lot of clutter and don't make for easy modeling.
For the walls I copied to my organization level it was easy to hide the definitions in. But for structural elements I edited the StructuralFramingCatalog placed in the dataset-folder. This meant I now had both deleted walls from that file, and edited structural elements. So I decided to copy that file to my organization folder to make sure it wasn't overwritten when updating AECOsim next time. I'm not sure how clever that was. But, is there another way to override the dataset? Just like I added definitions to structural element in the StructuralCatalogTypesexts.xml file, is it possible to delete definitions for catalog types, or at least hide them, at organization level?
Next up was the Structural_parts file. Some of the patterns were wrong, some layers too. I also wanted to separate existing concrete from existing steel for beams and columns. So I did what I had done with the StructuralFramingCatalog and copied it to my organization folder to edit it there. I also prepended the TFDIR_PART at org. level to point at my newly edited part-file.
Again, is there a way to let the dataset file be, and only create a file overriding the datasets part-file on certain points, instead of having it copied to the org. level?
As I said earlier. I think this has lead to me having a couple of problems right now.
1. As I mentioned in this thread: https://communities.bentley.com/products/building/building_analysis___design/f/aecosim-speedikon-forum/178704/catalog-editor-is-grey my catalog editor is greyed out. There are a few odd things about this. One is that even though users running update 4 and update 5 have the exact same configuration, catalog types and so on, it's only greyed out in update 5, not in update 4. Second odd thing is that even though these wall catalog types and items I mentioned earlier are stored in the org. level folder, they appear to be in the workset when I check the properties of them. (If I change the destination to organization in the properties it just quickly changes back to workset, my _BB_dataset_organization_dg_lock is set to 0).
This goes for both items as seen above, and types:
This is not the case in update 4, wherein both items and types are as they should, in destination: organization. Again, both update 4 and 5 points to the exact same network configuration. I even have both updates installed at the same time, on different computers to verify this. How could this be?
2. I ran validate in the catalog editor and found lots of warnings. Most of the warnings complains about below stated, for all the structural elements' catalog items.
" 'Steel Beam':'Stålbalk':'ObjectDiscipline/@Discipline' references an invalid Defintion 'ObjectDiscipline' "
" 'Steel Beam':'Stålbalk':'ObjectClassification/@BSAB' references an invalid Defintion 'ObjectClassification' "
Even though they are written exactly the same in the dataset as in me copied one placed in the organization folder.
There are also these two warnings for all the catalog types I've added definitions to myself (as explained above):
" 'Steel Beam':'Stålbalk':'ObjectClassification/@BSAB' references an invalid Definition Property "
and
" 'Steel Beam':'Stålbalk':'ObjectClassification/@BSAB' default Property value '27.E/34' is invalid "
Which are solved if I copy the file ObjectClassification.XSD from the dataset folder DataGroupSystem to the organization one. But it feels this will lead to even more trouble later on?
3. The place deck tool crashes the program. I'm not sure this is because of what I mentioned above, but there's something telling me it could.
So except these 3 questions. Is there an easy, stable way to edit the dataset. Cause right now I have too many problems concerning this to let it be. But going back to using the dataset as delivered is not an option, partly because projects are using this configuration right now, but mostly because it lacks important features.

Robert

attach reference by drag and drop
Hi,
if I drag and drop a model from the same dgn, within the same dgn, into the active model I get this:
"invalid seed file"
Seed file C:\ProgramData\Bentley\AECOsimBuildingDesigner V8i Ss4\WorkSpace\system\seed\transeed.dgn appears invalid.
what variable defines this, I can't see anything pointing to this file
this refers to an very old installation directory,
now my workspace is redirected to: B:\Connect\Configuration

Clip Boundary not working
This used to work in ABD and Prior
Creating a Building Section and only want to see 4' into the building and NOT to the entire depth of the building
We used to create a section and when setting the bounding box that would create not only the section clip but the forward clip
Thai has stopped working..
I cannot create a good section if I always see the rear of the building. Help Please

电脑4K屏幕，无法正常显示本特利软件中功能列表，怎么解决
电脑是4K的屏幕，分辨率比较高，但是安装OBD 或者之前的ABD，软件界面都显示不正常，比如楼层管理器对话框打开后，添加建筑 添加 楼层都图标显示过大，但是确定 取消按钮却显示过小。或者修改楼梯对话框打开后，编辑的列表显示不全，也无法找到确认 取消按钮。改过电脑分辨率，没变化。请各位老师指导一下。是否是本特利软件不能完美支持4K屏幕？可否跟技术部发一个request，解决一下软件漏洞

[OBD U5] Creating Custom drawing seed
Hi,
I'm following the steps from here:
without any success.
1 - Started with Design model in DrawingSeed_General.dgnlib in C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenBuildings CONNECT Edition\Configuration\Datasets\Dataset_AU\Dgnlib
2 - Run Place Section Callout with the following setting:
3 - Define name as shown
4 - Save view created, just to sure that I'm working in a relevant dgnlib, I renamed the existing save view name from SectionViewSeed to SectionViewSeed_
5 - Switch to another test file, run place callout, and the TESTSECT drawing seed isn't listed. The modified drawing seed name is showing
So just wondering what am I missing? I've attached the result dgnlib here as well.

Building Sections ignore DEPTH
When Cutting a building section - we define a cut plan and a rear and front plane are displayed
Wheat we are creating is a section that shows only items 10' beyond the cut - THUS THE REAR DESIGN PLANE
What we see is a Building Section that ignores the REAR PLAN and EVERYTHING beyond the cut
This worked fine in ABD, and appears to have stopped working in the Connect Version
How do I create the proper section that does not become an SECTION-ELEVATION
FYI - I TRIED TO LOG THIS INTO THE CONNECTION CLIENT BUT THE THIS PORTION OF THE SYSTEM IS DOWN.

Geographic Coordinate System
Hi All,
I am interested to see what others have implemented for their projects... Currently in Update 5 of OpenBuildings Bentley are pushing modelling within the SWA. So I have started looking into using a GCS to perform an 'AEC Transform' of our reference files, so that we can model around 0,0,0 and still coordinate with other disciplines working out in the 'real world' location. The predicament is that in order to perform a transform, the attachment file must also have a GCS defined within it. This is an issue when working with external contractors or other disciplines that do not have a GCS defined. My thoughts were to introduce a nested reference file which has a defined gcs, however that becomes a bit cumbersome and not great for adoption... users won't be happy to adopt a workflow that is more effort than an existing one! Controlling overrides and attaching new references would be a pain.
My thoughts are that since we are not reprojecting the attachment, surely if a GCS is not defined we could assume that it is the same GCS by default and allow a simple transform? Blocking the feature completely makes it difficult for no reason. Another issue is that reporting of coordinates is not taken into account; we have to set up a custom acs to be able to get 'real world' outputs. This leads to the possibility of accidentally having the wrong ACS active and giving incorrect outputs. There should be a native tool that takes into account the GCS translation of the file IMO, otherwise ensuring accurate coordinates becomes another task to think about.
It might be that I have to create an add-in to deal with the translation... was hoping there might be a simpler approach though. Let me know how you are combating the above listed problems... I'm keen to hear of other solutions!
Cheers,
Ed
