Unify different parts in each drawing

It would be a good idea if in a drawing you could override part join configurations and create a new configuration for that drawing. For example, join all the walls, pillars, partitions, etc. in a floor plan or only join the walls of the same mate...

Reconstruct hidden wall joints

Problem: Two walls with different parts that unify each other (section and F/R view). A wall must be demolished. The other wall must be maintained. If we visualize the two walls, we see the current state. The two walls are shown joined. This is...

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.

Models in VERIFY PARTS

With many Models in a file it would help a lot if you could filter what is in a separate Model. Verify Parts is very useful tool and simple to use. Really a prototype for how tools should be.

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 ...

Improved space quantities

The IFC schema allows for a lot more quantities on an ifcSpace (Qto_SpaceBaseQuantities): https://standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC4/ADD2_TC1/HTML/schema/ifcproductextension/qset/qto_spacebasequantities.htm. Please implement those in OBD...

Define spaces on Dataset, Workspace and Workset levels

For most building elements the Datagroup System allows for 'Definitions' and Catalog Types/Items on multiple levels: Dataset, Workspace and Workset. Spaces on the contrary don't allow this flexibility. They are set on a "System" level. It is curre...

Enable Program Area of a space to constrain its size

Enable Program Area of a space to constrain its size (rubber-banding capability) so user can adjust a side and have the shape respond. 2D constraints in MicroStation can do this, see video (the video is real-time; scrub through to get the picture ...
