adjusting a BV

If I have made a BV in 8,110769 and want to ad a reference, or change levels
that are included in the "cut" - how do I do that?

Tried to update the sv - but nothing changed in the "drawing".

  • Yes and it saves you from haveing to back and forth to other drawings, during the buildng process of your model.

    When you say "BV" what do you mean?
     
    All collected settings of the Saved View+clip volume?
    Shall I read Building (Saved) View?

    I'm not Eric, but...  perhaps he means he attached the BV to a view window in the 3D model itself; i.e., created a "multi-model" view?   I like this method for changing things in the 3D model and interactively seeing the results without having to switch models...

  • Hi Thomas,

    BV = Building View, which is essentially a Dynamic View with additional building-specific attributes such as Part resymbolization, annotation, etc.    You can tell one from the other when opening View Attributes - a Building View will have a "Building" tab at the bottom with tabs similar to DEM, such as Cut Plane, Forward, Back, Drawing Rules, etc. 

    Regarding the issue you're seeing... I'm not really sure.   If the Synchronize option is checked on in Reference Attachement Settings (as outlined by Jeff), and the references being modified exist where the BV was created, everything should "just work".  Have you tried creating a new BV to verify that the reference updates do in fact come through?

     

     



  • Hi Steve
     
    reg DV/BV -
    I know what it does, but what IS it. What is it made of?
    Not a file somewhere- right?
    A bunch of settings in the composition Model - right?
     
     
    reg updating ref of/off
    I get it to work ONLY after switching off, then on live nesting in the "drawing".dgn Then the correct references are shown.
     
    Same for another guy 500 km off, but also using Swedish dataset. We have both spent to many hours the last day switching files. Fresh installs of 8,11 both. And together I guess we have 30 years or more of ustn/TF/BA experience.
     
    (this resembles something I saw a few times many moons ago when references wern't reloaded. You had to restart ustn/BA to get the references right. Impossible to recreate for support ofcourse. And yes I have "reload references when changing files" ON. )
     
    Any one up to a http://www.ammyy.com/en/ or other remote desktop share?
