When creating families and parts i/e/ a door, we need an option to MATCH Wall. This was available in PCS, but not in MS or OBD. As it stands you need to place a 3d slab that is your perforator = your cut depth. This s very limited. We need an opti...
It would be great to provide a way to assign a Named Group to any placed Objects and Assemblies, including the OOTB objects like Walls, Slabs etc. This will allow the user to manipulate multiple elements efficiently without having to nest within a...
When filling a textcode using the funtionality of f(x) you can choose a lot of data used or filled in the component you've add in your model. But when you copied the component a view times in the model, you want to use the functionality of the tex...
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...
Addressing overheating due to solar gain is increasingly a big problem for building designers, and is now also a statutory requirement. OBD/OBES/Hevacomp is well placed to provide an analytical design tool that provides quick feedback to the facad...
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...
The new CS tool looks very limited in scope. It would be good to extend its viability by supporting meshes. Flooring is rarely level or flat when you look across a project. It would be good to have an option that is based on Mstn's Thicken tool th...
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...
