Hi,
This week I had some time to look at Open Building Designer. The conclusion: this program can add a lot of value to my work.
At the Bentley Learning server some Quickstart tutorials where followed. Despite this some uncerainties appeared. Before OBD can be used for my projects, it would be fine if these where cleared.
The kind of designwork I want to use Open Building designer for:
- Amsterdam quay walls.
- Underground bicycle sheds.
For the quay walls I think the Wall and Profile function can be a good modeling method. In the tutorials I find a lot of tutorials to place them, but not how to build them. For example a wall consisting of 100 mm brick, 100 air, 150 mm insulation material and 200 concrete is needed.
Question 1:
Is there a tutorial that explaines the building of Walls and Profiles (see above)?
Question 2:
Is there a tutorial that explaines the building of multi layered floors / slabs?
Question 3:
Are there Dutch speaking people who are using Open Building Designer who don't mind if I ask beginners questions about this program (sometimes).
Thanks in advance,
