Trim/Extend Multiple Walls

The Connect Walls command only works on 1 wall at a time. If the users need to extend multiple walls to touch another wall, the user must click the same wall multiple times.

We should strive to match the workflow available in the Trim to Element Command.

  • Start the tool

  • Select Multiple items to Trim/extend

  • Select the Cutting/Extend to Element

  • Items are cut or extended.

3 Clicks to edit 4 lines(in fact any number of adjacent lines can be trimmed in the same number of steps)

In the OBD Connect Walls workflow:

  1. Start the tool

  2. Select the first wall to trim

  3. Select the wall to trim to.

  4. Accept the change.

  5. Repeat steps 2, 3 and 4 for each remaining wall.

13 clicks to edit 4 walls.

In OB Speedikon you need 6 clicks to edit 4 walls.

    I'd like to see all the Trim/Extend/Join functionality available to MicroStation apply to all OBD elements (walls, beams, ducts, profiles, handrails, curtain walls, etc)

    Hello @Noel, thank you for the great idea! We are promoting it to a feature and adding it to the parking lot of new releases. Not U8 yet, but will follow-up once we add to the following release. @Johannes will lead on investigating specification when the time comes. Thanks again.
