Space - room bounding

We need a Space option that will allow the Space to follow the geometry it is associated too. thus if the space aka walls move the Space updates to suit. Revit offers this, and it is a limitation for OBD users

Program Manager Notification

If we delete files from the Design folder (our workset) and these files were used in Program Manager for Design Options, we should have notification when we start OBD that there are no these files and existing Design Option was changed.

Create wall from space in Reference file

Currently the place wall tool has the option "From space". This works well as long as the space is in the active model. I'd like it to work also if the space is in a referenced model. It seems that with the current implementation, using this tool ...

Enable parts to be placed completely on active layer

Curtain Wall : Place as Cell support

The CW can not be placed as Cell The CW object contained in the Cell can not be parametrically flexed after placement. The Grips do present themselves but also do not work. When the Cell is dropped, the CW object disappears. The hope here is that ...
