Hi
When using v8 OBD I get the following error message when trying to place a curtain wall
'cannot place Curtain Walls with selected option'. This is using the bentley examples, with a metric dataset / workspace,
When I switch to the imperial examples the function works ?
Hi Keith,
this could be a Problem with the working Units in the Designfile and the Curtainwall Parametric Cells. If they are different you get these Message.
It's solved in Update 9 but meanwhile you can try to set the resolution in your seedfile to 1.000.000 per Meter or change the resolution in the CurtainWall_Profiles.cel (each Modell) to the same as in your seedfile.
I think it is wrong to say that this issue is solved in U9. More that it is resolved if using the delivered dataset and settings.
I have existing projects which have been started using seed files with a resolution of 10000 per mm, the curtain wall does not work in these files unless resolution is changed to suit the 1000 per mm resolution of the parametric cell libraries.
It is not practical (or really possible) to update the cell libs, as when you change resolution, the parametric variables go haywire.
