I have removed all of the Part, Families and levels that are delivered with ABD. Now we have a requirement to use the HVAC tools such as Place Rectangular Duct but don't work without the Part and Families loaded up.
Is there a way to use to HVAC tools with your company Part and Families?
Also why is this the default behaviour and has this been fixed in OpenBuildings? The Structural tools for instance will work fine using Company Part and Families.
Hello Simon,
Please check if the config variable HVAC_FAMILY_DUCT_DEFAULT is pointing toward a family and part that exist in Family/Part dataset.If not please change the value to an existing family and part.
To add to Anik's reply - from the Configuration Variables dialog click on "Mechanical" in the Category list on the left and then search for "family". This will return a list of all of the Mechanical variables that define a default Family + Part, both for HVAC and Plumbing.
