I have just installed Version 7 but, on starting the application, I am being told
" In order to use New Structural Elements in Open Building Designer, additional content will need to be added.." "Which Local Dataset would you like to use"
The Application point to our Organisation's Workspace. That works as it should.
During the installation I selected the US Dataset as i have done in the past. I am not sure what local dataset I am being asked to select. None of the options provided are applicable.
I have copied the delivered Dataset_US to my organisation's Workspace but that did not solve the problem.
Am I missing a step in the installation and how do I correct the misstep.
Many thanks.

Hi Tony,If you have already selected Dataset_US at the time of installation, it should work.However there is a wiki regarding installation of OpenBuildings Designer, please take a look at it.Best Regards,Sayanti
Thanks for responding Sayanti.
You are correct.. and it should run... and it has always done so after doing this over the years.
Indeed, the configuration of our company workspace has not changed and I continue to use it with no challenge.
I am able to access and see the worksets in our company workspace but at the time of opening a design model in any of the worksets the message occurs.
I can conclude then that the challenge is with the project config file in the worksets. The puzzle is that we actively continue to use Version 6 with the same config files without challenges.
I have now uninstalled and reinstalled Version 7 on a new workstation and the same challenge occurs.
Tony.
Hi Tony,
Please see: ProStructures "Configuration Audit Alert" message after opening Update 7 for the first time (bentley.com) or ProStructures "Configuration Audit Alert" message when using a newly created Workspace (bentley.com).
Configuration changes are documented here: Configuration Changes to Support ProStructures Interoperability (bentley.com), contnet has been added at WorkSpace and Workset levels.
Please note any changes to the US dataset will be listed in "C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenBuildings CONNECT Edition\Configuration\Datasets\Dataset_US\OBD_CE_U6 - OBD_CE_U7_Dataset_Delta_Guide_US.pdf"

Thanks Mark.
That seems to have worked except that I also had to copy the ProStructures Folder into the Workspace/Standards Folder
Many thanks again.
Hi Tony, glad that helped.
