Hi, How can I define EndType for Pipe? I am creating a new Manufacturer Catalog and I'd like to see -:fe-2; with my pipes. Even with no catalog Pipe i can't do it. Regards, Adolfo Ribeiro

What is the easiest way to modify a wall penetration? For example, I have a penetration in my concrete lift station wall where my influent pipe is located and the pipe elevation has changed. Is there an easy way to change the location of the wall penetration?

Okay folks Our client requires our model for use in Navisworks, where they intend to sequence the build. They are asking for a notional grid of some kind which Navisworks can read and then chop the building (the brickwork for example) into parts/cubes tosequence and schedule the build. I know little...

That is the question. I'm using Bentley Architecture V8i select series 2. I create a dynamic view (extraction from the 3D model) the line weights and hatches look okay, I live nest reference to a sheet but then when I print to PDF it automatically rasterises the drawing and I end up with very thin...

Hi I am a long time MicroStation user currently reviewing a number of the leading BIM platforms out there - namely Bentley Architecture, Revit, & Archicad. Now I am not a 'die-hard' Bentley fan and so my remit is to simply try and evaluate each package on its own merits in order to get a...

I am assuming that to get the system to acces part dimensions in Parametric Cell Studio in metric format rather than imperial format I have to change the access path from C:\ProgramData\Bentley\MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries)\WorkSpace\TriForma\tf_imperial to C:\ProgramData\Bentley\MicroStation V8i ...

Hi all, I've noticed after creating a floor plan layout and converting the .dgn file to .dwg., the door swing for all the doors disappeared and are not apart ofthe file. Any suggestion on what I might have missed in the conversion process ? Thanks in advance, W. Marcus

Anyone, We have a client requesting Bentley BIM, eventually AECOSim and I’m trying to get a handle on the different Bentleys content options. what works with the dataset catalogs and what doesn’t, what is parametric and what isn’t. From what I can tell, Microstation has 6 different...

Steve Cocchi: Mark, do you anything similar to this? We recently overhauled and set up a new V8i workspace on the server and it is almost completely read only with the exception of a few files/folders such as the metadata folder within the BBES dataset directory and dwgdata for translations. I'm...

Anthony, I can't tell you what's wrong, but I can confirm that the BBMS SS1 V8i (08.11.07.55) works fine on my Windows 7 Enterprise workstation. Although I am a network admin, I am typically logged in as a domain user and it works fine. I do have UAC set to "Never Notify" and I also...

What is the best way to pacakage BIM with ConDoc for eTramsmit? I would think I would just copy the ConDoc folder to disc. but I am afraid that in some cases some .dgn files are not located in the ConDoc folder but elswhere. I am worried that I may leave some file behind? Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi I am currently using BA 08.11.07.80 and am looking to upgrade to the latest version v08.11.07.87. I have a query regarding my existing dataset. I have created new components that have been added as company parts. Is there a way that these can be transferred into the new version or do they need to...

Joaquin: There is a DGNLIB that stores the default settings for a Building View. The location/name of this is controlled by the configuration variable MS_VIEWSEEDFILE. By default the seed views in ustation.dgnlib are used. Depending on which View Type you are applying it will use the settings from a...

I reviewed the new USACE workspace (there is a new one for V8i: 09Q4a_v8i) and the MSDIR is defined like this: MSDIR : ${_ROOTDIR} This allows for the configuration to use _ROOTDIR which is defined on each machine. Another thing you might want to edit is the shortcuts themselves. The USACE workspace...

Is there going to be a beta release of Triforma for Athens soon ?

One thing that came up recently had to do with reference files and the "use lights" setting turned on. In this case there was a large amount of reference files (over 100 for structural bar joists) attached and it was causing the system to crash. The fix was to turn off the "use lights"...

Take a look at USACE's CAD*BIM Technology Center website: https://cadbim.usace.army.mil/ There is a lot of information here, click on the BIM link to get to relevant BIM info. In the Links section->Software Downloads you'll find documentation for BIM implementation.

My firm is seeking an example Impelmentation plan that has been accepted by the USACE. Would anyone be willing to share one if they have one? Is anyone working on projects with the USACE and starting to implement Bentley BIM software? drscheller
