AECOsim SS5: "cut solids by curves" applied on architectural and structural objects. How to fix the final geometry?

We create a Service Request about it.

Could you provide the workflow and settings in the tool in order to reproduce the issue in AECOsim Building Designer?

EiPM_Xavi,
When you use the Cut Solid by Curves or Create Protrusion tools on a BIM form, you are creating a 'feature' on that element. These can be moved using Move Feature (R2 in Arch. Design Task interface), copied using Copy Feature (R1) or deleted using Delete Feature (R3). Typically, you can modify the feature by using the Element Selector to select the edge where the cut exists. This will highlight the feature in green and give you edit handles at the vertices of the shape defining the feature. You can select and modify each vertex independently. You should also be able to use the stretch tool to modify or move the feature. Lastly, to insert or delete a vertex on the feature shape you can use the Insert Vertex (7-7) or Delete Vertex (7-8) tools while holding the CTRL key. If you do not hold the CTRL key it will try to insert or delete a vertex from the BIM element that is hosting the feature.

I hope this helps,
Travis

Hi Gerard and T_Wollet,

I send an image to explain it. This is a slab created with "Place floor slab" tool from Architectural tools.

We Cuted by solids to this slab, and we want to delete the "feature", because we only want the final geometry of this slab.

The only way to do it is using "Merge Feature list". But If we use this option, the slab is converted to Triforma Solid BREP, and then, we loose the slab Quantities (Top area, bottom area, etc.....)

By the end, we need to avoid the "features" inside the bim objects.

Another example with slabs. If we need to join several slabs (maybe two, maybe hundreds of slabs), the final slab loses quantities. I attach two images to explain the "problem feature" with slabs:

Best regards,
