Floor Manager and Grid tools should recognise Coordinate Systems and enable defined building locations
On large projects, with multiple (& repeated) buildings it is common to model the building around the file origin, and then reference/place into actual location. The current system does not recognise if the refernce is moved, so the floor mana...
Similar as in the Grid manager we need the option for the floor manager to "Rotate by points" so that a building can be positioned and rotated properly.
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...
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...
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...
For example, if we have 5(five) volume files referenced into a masterfile and this masterfile is referenced to a mastermodel where you take sections for 2D drawings. The 2D drawing is cached. When opening this file with live nesting set to 2, the ...
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...
Penetrations: Bulk Edit in Excel and Synch back to OBD
Penetrations are quite complicated and not easily defined by a few rules. The current selection of rules I think will be quickly overwhelmed. As such, I can see most people decoupling the Penetration objects from the PM as soon as possible, then e...
