Hello all,
I would like to find out does the new OBD edition has provisions for:-
1, Creating multiple insertion point for a compound cell?
2, Create a Compound cell with Child relationships.
Take for example a prefab cabinet unit has
a, the box
b, the door
c, the hardware (handles etc)
From the version of OBD I have every time you change the combination of a, b, c, you need to rebuilt a new cell
I often use the common structural framing system to build a compound cell so that I can change the framing plans on the fly.
Can anyone tell me if the software has such a provision?
Thanks,
Hi Tim,
Compound Cells are no longer being developed.
In Update 7 you will find technology previews of Named Presentation, Multiple Placement Points and Perforators for Parametric Cells which is the route for future content creation.
Please refer to the relevant content in the help documentation in the first instance. Note that we have added a Constraints tab on the Building Design ribbon bar which is is contextual and only appears when the active model's state is set to "Can Be placed as Cell = True".
Regards
Marc
In the case of static objects, perhaps imported from other formats, the parametric tools do not need to be involved. Named presentations and Placement Points will provide improved capability compared to Compound Cells.
