&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are using AECOsim building designer V81 (SELECT Series 3) and are forming our 2D model files via the DEM.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are having problems with extracted curves which, when extracted do not maintain their geometry and are converted to B-splines - this is becoming very problematic especially when we get to annotation stages and cannot pull out a dia or angle. It also produces extremely erratic results at times which bare very little resemblance to the original curves which are based on a sound/regular geometry.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is there any way to prevent AECOsim from converting everything to a cell or b-spline during extraction? Any advice will be most welcome.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>View Mis-alignment DEM</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/products/building/building_analysis___design/f/aecosim-speedikon-forum/96451/view-mis-alignment-dem</link><pubDate>Thu, 17 Apr 2014 14:45:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:3c8296ad-80a7-4044-bb59-f5b5b2c7ee9f</guid><dc:creator>Tim Ratliff</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi All&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Apologies if this has cropped up elsewhere and once again if it&amp;#39;s a very simple problem but...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are using AECOsim Building Designer V8i (SELECT Series 3) through (Projectwise V8i SELECT Series 4) and are producing our architectural drawings via extraction from Master Model Files.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have been using the standard &amp;#39;cut location&amp;#39; tools in the DEM to pretty good effect, however we are now at a stage where we need our extractions to be more focused and isolated than the infinite plane cuts produced from the above.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Therefore we have decided to use saved views as the basis for our extraction - again within the DEM. All views look correct and display properly, except for following extraction a blank file is created. Upon entering the &amp;#39;building group model&amp;#39; it appears that the &amp;nbsp;position of the saved view is mis-aligned i.e on a different plane?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Can anyone help?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
