Many users (CrossRail, TFL) working on stations would like to be able to define a "floor" that is inclined for use cases such as tunnels and ramps between platforms etc.

If we can pick a wall and get an instant Dimension, maybe with Opening width as additional Information, it would accelerate the Plan Layout. Attached a GIF showing the idea in a sample macro created some years ago. Optional these dimensions could ...

Very handy option we had with OBD members was to place a member mirrored. Great for modelling channel sections.

My understanding is that when assigning a parametric cell to a datagroup definiton, if that parametric cell contains a set of variations only one variation can be used or applied. Thus if I need to use all three variations I must create 3 datagrou...

We have several utilities that are point solutions for specific dataset management tasks. To migrate users to a new version of a dataset or backup user generated content requires multiple steps involving use of these utilities and manual manipulat...

OBD 2023 using the ISO19650 dataset, the Dataset.cfg has the variable MS_DGNLIBLIST_LINESTYLES = $(TFDIR)Dgnlib\Linestyles,dgnlib With it set the equals, it will not read any similar MS_DGNLIBLIST_LINESTYLES variables that has been set to either a...

Addressing overheating due to solar gain is increasingly a big problem for building designers, and is now also a statutory requirement. OBD/OBES/Hevacomp is well placed to provide an analytical design tool that provides quick feedback to the facad...
