Error message 'This tool cannot be used with column grid elements' why?
Hi Ben,
FF = Fence File.
This creates a new file containing the elements contained within the fence.
The column grid elements are displayed dynamically as part of Reference Presentation and do not work in the same way as modelled elements (you will find that they cannot be copied either). This is how the feature is designed.
If you need grids on plan as separate files, for instance to provide to other users, go to a design model, open the Grid Systems dialog and click 'Create/Update Grid Models'. This will create a model for each floor grid in that active file.
Regards
Marc
Hi Subhamoy/Steve,
‘Flat file’ (key in: ff=) is a relic from Microstation that enables you to capture 2D drawings from 3D. by first putting fence ‘clip’ round the object. Very useful if you have a ‘Plan Callout’ of your model and wish to convert to 2D. It will create a separate file for you.
Yes, as Subhamoy mentioned we need to know the specific tool you are attempting to use. It would also be helpful to better understand the end result you are trying to achieve.
Can you please specify which tool you are trying to use? It will be helpful if you can share a screenshot showing the same.
Warm regards,Subhamoy
