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...

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...

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...

OBD has Edit-in-Excel for DGS properties. Bravo. What would be good is if the old XML-Excel Conversion Utility could be used to provide an Excel-based route to editing all that XML-based info that OBD needs... .xsd, F&P, etc, etc etc Has its u...

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...

It would be a good idea if in a drawing you could override part join configurations and create a new configuration for that drawing. For example, join all the walls, pillars, partitions, etc. in a floor plan or only join the walls of the same mate...

In Parametric Cell Studio OBD CE 2023, the tab to indicate Family and part is not shown. The attribute must be indicated manually. More time and more mistakes. Requested: Adding the family and part tab for PCS components See explanatory image.

When a PAZ cell is modified with PCS, the modified copy appears at point 0,0,0. The previous copy remains. It is requested: change this behavior and replace the modified cell in its place of placement, as it worked in OBD V8i See attached video
