Anyone having the same?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://communities.bentley.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/5917/WallJoining.mp4"&gt;communities.bentley.com/.../WallJoining.mp4&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let me explain in words, just in case it wouldn&amp;#39;t be clear from the screenvideo.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m doing the &amp;quot;connect walls&amp;quot; on the white elements (plaster in this case), though the problem occurs on different types of walls as well. In this case I set it to &amp;quot;Connect Forms as L (Bisector)&amp;quot; but it also happens when setting to &amp;quot;Connect Forms as L (Parallel)&amp;quot;. Can&amp;#39;t recall with certainty if it also has happened with &amp;quot;Connect forms as T&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When I click the first, then the second wall element the &amp;#39;joining&amp;#39; happens. Normally the side where clicked should remain. But in many cases it looks like this part is cut away. You&amp;#39;ll see in the screen video that if I first perform the connect walls on the other corner, then back to the original corner then it works as expected.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I haven&amp;#39;t been able to find any logic in this behaviour and I couldn&amp;#39;t predict if I&amp;#39;d be able to reproduce it. But it&amp;#39;s very annoying.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyone having similar issues and possible a workaround?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Identify and/or highlight different wall types in colour in a DV</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/products/building/building_analysis___design/f/aecosim-speedikon-forum/225352/identify-and-or-highlight-different-wall-types-in-colour-in-a-dv</link><pubDate>Thu, 03 Feb 2022 16:14:08 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:70111d0b-990d-41a8-a62a-439ffce23ef2</guid><dc:creator>Nasir Ghani</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hello,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am trying to find a way, similar to Revit, where I can show wall types in different colour. In Revit, a WALL&amp;nbsp;FILTER is added with an&amp;nbsp;override.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " height="483" src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/5917/pastedimage1643903118346v3.png" width="901" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The above image shows what I am trying to achieve you can see that different colour has been applied to different wall types, visible in different views.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How do I achieve this in OBD without the need of creating extra drawings? The only way I can think of is to add the fill colour manually in the DV, The downfall, the solid fill will not change when the actual wall is changed/moved in the 3D model.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;PS: I am struggling&amp;nbsp;to&amp;nbsp;understand why OBD can&amp;#39;t do simple things and why there are always extra steps required to achieve something?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Discussion Starter I</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/achievements/21025ab1-febb-4fb4-a872-d32a921cb45c</link><pubDate>Fri, 04 Feb 2022 10:18:02 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:2382af54-c2d5-4306-aa7c-367f6cf68888</guid><dc:creator /><description>Start a discussion in a forum that receives 5 replies.</description></item><item><title>VUE Render Problems</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/products/microstation/microstation_visualization/f/visualization-forum-1977638070/221029/vue-render-problems</link><pubDate>Wed, 20 Oct 2021 11:33:44 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:ac5997f2-955c-4584-a03e-82c48dfb0daf</guid><dc:creator>Nasir Ghani</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I am really struggling to understand this VUE rendering in MicroStation CE Update 16. IMHO&amp;nbsp;this render engine is actually useless and a lot of settings don&amp;#39;t really make sense.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Below a couple of things that I just can&amp;#39;t figure out/understand:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. There appears to be no connection between Render Quality and Intensity/Contrast? Are you supposed to change the&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;Intensity and Contrast manually every time&amp;nbsp;after creating a rendering?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/19754/Bentley_5F00_VUE_5F00_01.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. When going to Atmosphere Editor &amp;gt; Environment Map tab &amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;enable&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Environment Map&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;and selecting an image the Reflection Map and Illumination Map show the selected/chosen image. Why is this?&amp;nbsp;It actually causes confusion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/19754/Bentley_5F00_VUE_5F00_02.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. Why does clear glass not look transparent but colored glass does? It looks like panel material in the Material Editor (PBR mode)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/19754/Bentley_5F00_VUE_5F00_03.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/19754/Bentley_5F00_VUE_5F00_04.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4. The render result is not consistent as Contrast and Intensity need manual adjustment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/19754/Bentley_5F00_VUE_5F00_05.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Image with HDRI map, trees/shrubs unloaded (brick color looks different)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/19754/Bentley_5F00_VUE_5F00_06.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Image with HDRI map, trees/shrubs loaded (brick color looks different)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To me VUE rendering is a complete pain and it is user unfriendly. Luxology render gave much better result and was consistent with the result.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Not possible to apply Curtain Wall to a SmartLine with curves</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/products/building/building_analysis___design/f/aecosim-speedikon-forum/219646/not-possible-to-apply-curtain-wall-to-a-smartline-with-curves</link><pubDate>Fri, 17 Sep 2021 14:28:47 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:50d31006-4d64-4c7a-869c-d1c95faaadb6</guid><dc:creator>Nasir Ghani</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hello,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Apparently it is not possible to assign a Curtain Wall to a SmartLine with curves using Place By: From Element, see attached image.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " height="345" src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/5917/1440.Bentley_5F00_Curved-CW.jpg" width="639" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am trying to get a smooth connection at the curve, see marked area.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Any logical explanation why it is not possible to place a Curtain Wall on a SmartLine with curves??&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Modified slope stair</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/products/building/building_analysis___design/f/aecosim-speedikon-forum/181792/modified-slope-stair</link><pubDate>Fri, 28 Jun 2019 06:39:55 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:dbf45a55-a2ce-45c6-bdeb-f753abbf764e</guid><dc:creator>Romain MEUNIER</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi, I want to modified the slope stair, but the option is not activate.
