Bentley plugin for Revit 2018

AI UI — Wed, 24 Jan 2018 10:01:21 GMT

Hello,

I would like to know if development of Bentley plugin will contionue for Revit 2018, or what is the plan for development in Revit for next versions. I was using Bentley for export (producing i-models) to (i.dgn) in Revit 2017.

Thank you in advance for an answer.

Working with BBES in an Integrated (ProjectWise) Session

ABD: version 08.11.09.829

PW: version 08.11.11.574

How (or where) does ProjectWise store the _BBES Folder and its contents?

The _BBES Folder resides in the same (local) DMS location as the DGN file that it is associated (as one would expect). My concern is that none of it appears to be copied up to the server.

How can another user pick up where I left off if the electrical database only resides in my local DMS folder? Or does ABD embed all that data on File Save/Close?

[By The Way .... THANK YOU for updating the LEARN Videos!]

Acoustic Design/Analysis

David Cumming — Sat, 19 Nov 2016 15:22:09 GMT

Looking to analyze or dynamically design irregular shaped rooms for acoustic properties with AECOsim (SS6).

In particular, I need first to design for (or analyze) resonant frequencies, modal response and reverberation time. And second, I need the software to recommend (or let me experiment with) specific acoustic treatment methods within the space being analyzed - absorption, reflection, deflection, diffusion, bass trapping, etc.

It would be great if this were possible completely within AECOsim, but I'd get by if I could just export a 3D space and analyze it using other software.

For now, any recommended software or methods would be appreciated, but I also wonder if this is something that Bentley would ever consider packaging with/for their Building Solutions.

Thanks
