Calculated parameters for OBD elements

In today's BIM world the "I" of information becomes more and more important. This information is driven mostly by the properties attached to an element, more than by it's geometry. OBD already has a lot of built-in properties, also when it comes t...

ProStructures Object View Center in OBD

It would be good to integrate OVC into OBD. Very few will be able to justify paying for the PS license just to get OVC inspite of its benefits. Link to previous discussion. OVC would also be very useful enabling tool for updating OBD's Place Objec...

Assembly Builder - Constraints Support

Any Constraints applied to the Mstn elements seem to be stripped out when the Assembly is placed. Apparently, this is a 'voluntary' decision by the Mstn team. Item Types seem to make it through OK which is good. It would be good to bypass this 'vo...

Penetrations: Apply Changes / Update Model - Object by Object

The current global 'all or nothing' updates are only useful 5% of the time. For the bulk of the updates a step by step update is required. No engineering team is going to be happy relying on the vendor's algo without the assurance of visual inspec...

Assembly Builder - Replace Assembly Workflow / Tool

It is recognised that components and assemblies need to be replaced intelligently. This is supported at platform level by the Replace Cell tool. Assemblies provide a way to for users to insert a lot of stuff. They will eventually need to manage th...

Penetrations: Clash Detection by selected element(s)

Apparently, the PM can do selective updates by allowing the user to select the cutting (or cut ?) element. The PM records the associated elements ElementIDs, presumably. Any callbacks triggered by manipulation by Mstn/OBD tools are recorded by the...
