Extraction - parametric solid do not display

Hi guys!! 

I have Open Building Designer model with a parametric solids and I would like to create a cut using extractions in AECOsim Building Designer - parametric solid do not display at all. 

Is that a common thing that parametric solid is not displaying in older software (like using AECOsim to cut extractions) ??

I know that I could use DV - but here I am asking about extractions. 

Thanks in advance! 

Cheers

  • Hi Wojtek,

    We moved away from the older drawing extraction technology as it had limitations so was unable to support anticipated future developments. I have not tested this scenario but would not be surprised to find that drawing extraction could not process parametric cells.

  • Thank you for you quick answer! 

    There is another thing I am struggling with: 

    I have created parametric cell and I have attached family and parts to that according to what display I want to get later in DV. 

    It looks like Dynamic View is ignoring the family and parts attached to the parametric solid - when I cut through it I can see only an outline shape but not display styles which should come with family and parts. I have managed to get around that by using display rules but is that the way how we should do it? 

    When creating normal solid and attaching family and parts everything works fine.
