&lt;p&gt;Is there any faster way to access to the dataset in order to create elements, add cell compounds etc... instead File&amp;gt;Dataset tools? It is very slow. In ss6 you could do it inside the active session&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;we have went through an exercise of creating a &amp;quot;voids model&amp;quot; for the MEP services which we are merging into our architectural models to cut the penetrations. The results are mixed - some items cut perfectly, some cut half way through, and some seem to reset existing voids and/or instance data. See attached for example.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Does anyone know what might cause this behaviour? Ideally we want to just select all -&amp;gt; copy through so that all walls are cut, but this isn&amp;#39;t a good method as its not until later that we find where it has caused us issues. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Split Structural elements</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/products/building/building_analysis___design/f/aecosim-speedikon-forum/132176/split-structural-elements</link><pubDate>Fri, 24 Feb 2017 11:19:41 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:bee7ece5-a516-4d99-9ff6-c8eb13c5657a</guid><dc:creator>Silvia Sartorato</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hello,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/5917/3240.Capture.PNG"&gt;&lt;img width="322" height="133" src="/resized-image/__size/940x0/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/5917/3240.Capture.PNG" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As you can see the duct needs to be offset all the way to the edge of the main duct.&amp;nbsp; This I already know I can&amp;#39;t do in ABD.&amp;nbsp; My problem is that I have to jump through hoops just to get this takeoff to be 1500x900.&amp;nbsp; I have been able to get through most of it except that it places the takeoff far away from the main duct (see front&amp;nbsp;image).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/5917/5315.Capture01.PNG"&gt;&lt;img width="337" height="257" src="/resized-image/__size/940x0/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/5917/5315.Capture01.PNG" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#39;s like it is spacing it as if it were coming off the side of the duct (which is wider than it is deeper).&amp;nbsp; Here are my size settings for the branch.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have a question regarding printing setting for a drawing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am trying to print a drawing just like this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I tried making the background on a single level and color (level-1 and color 128), what is printed in grayscale in the example.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What is the interest in the drawing is the objects left in monochrome.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How do i make the setting to achieve the example ? Tried some setting in pen table but with no effect.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We are working now in a project and we need to create the four elevations of every room in order to explain them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is there any tool in ABD to create this four sections/elevations views&amp;nbsp;from the center of a space automatically. I would be like a multiclip volume.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have another question. Has Bentley any plan with&amp;nbsp;ABD&amp;nbsp;to improve&amp;nbsp;2D&amp;nbsp;symbology in sections and elevations?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am currently learning to use abd (via youtube and bentley learnserver videos) and have a revit-based experience, so excuse me if the terms I use are not bentley-friendly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please excuse me also if this question has already been asked (google and bentely communities did not help..) or if it is too trivial to be answered:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once I place a door or a window is there any way to change its catalog istance? For example from &amp;quot;HM_Drywall | 2 Lite&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;HM_Drywall | Flush&amp;quot;?&lt;/p&gt;

I now have to trace over the mud mat and crate more work for me. Is there a way to unlock this feature? I realize that it&amp;#39;s related to BIM and was created by Triforma but this is a real bottle neck for production. Is there a way in Triforma to NOT place BIM elements with this lock on them? I&amp;#39;ve even written an MDL to try to strip the attributes of the element but it even says the same message that the element cannot be modified. Again is there a way to allow these element to be manipulated in a production drawing using plain Microstation of Inroads.
