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 ...

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 ...

Curtain Wall : ACS & Accudraw Compliance

The CW tool ignores the ACS, Accudraw orientation when the CW is placed (ACS Plan Lock on etc). This is not expected behaviour, and severely limits the usability of the tool. The CW object can be rotated to match the ACS after being placed. Being ...

Local CS for Curtain Walls

The CW tool is pretty powerful, but it works only in the vertical plane as a 'wall'. The panelisation that the CW tool is useful as a lot of construction objects are based on panels and grids. Eg Cladding panels and frames, tiles and joints, celin...

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 ...

Convert an associative flooded space to a non-associative space

It would be good if a user could initially place spaces using the flood placement option as this is a quick and efficient way to add spaces and room data to a model in the early stages of design. Later in the process, he may need to be more exact ...
