Enable parts to be placed completely on active layer

Currently when doors, windows, walls, etc. are placed when a level is set as active, the various components of the part land on different levels. The part placement actually creates levels that have been programmed into the part and cannot be chan...

Models in VERIFY PARTS

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...
