When using the "System ID" tool to number pipes (I assume also for ducts), the ID can automatically be incremented. The starting value is "001", which made me believe the tool would be smart enough to remove the leading zeros as soon as the second...

Sometimes it would be nice to have the ability to override a specific element's ifcBuilding and ifcBuildingStorey. Now they can (only) be defined on model level in the IFC export - spatial mapping. It could mean creating a little less models/neste...

Currently when drawing new walls, the default connection is mitred (called 'bi-sector' in the "Connect Forms" tool). This is very unconventional, so I'd rather set the default to 'Parallel'. Now I have to re-do all connections after drawing the wall.

My main work with the MEP modules in OBD is to create some sewer models. They are always with sloped pipes. Currently it is very difficult to add or change the pipe slopes after placement. For example, I would like to first model everything withou...

Something that would be very handy is a tool that would move elements to a preset rl. This would be a much easier option over using the move command in large models. Would also be great is there was an option to flatten raked members.

When we import the data from Excel to Program Manager all spaces are added as long list and to realize where they should be placed we have to group them. Right now we can just Cut and Paste one by one each Space to move them from the common list t...

Could we have the column Details in QuickList when we place Spaces? When we import list of the spaces in Program Manager there might be a lot the same spaces for different floors, but when we try to place them with QuickList without grouping we ca...

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...

Solids or volumes can be defined as Spaces. Spaces are a fundamental organising tool as it defines rooms that provides a containment structuring tool. See also IFC. Projects often start with a spatial programme listing the rooms and areas needed. ...
