Hi emilberger
We finished our formation today. Arrffff. Our 3D formation (V8 2004 to V8I+architecture) was only concerning 3 persons that know triforma. For the 4 other, it is going to wait...because of workflow essentially.
The DEM don't work with most of my cell (and working well in triforma for the same cells same files). I am waiting yet for Bentley 's solutions...
The DV are ok but pb to print them (my pen table don't work with DV??) And printing with rasterised option....15 min to make a print files to the Printer or to make a pdf. How long takes time to print DV ? or there is option i don't know??
Im agree with you emilberger. But i'm working in a office of etude (sorry for my english, i'm french). I draw sewage water and waste water station. it appeared that , regarding to my company workflow, we don't need solutions than piping or other. We make conception of station but we don't need too evolved software to calculate pressure for exemple... It's not the drawer 's job (in my company). So regarding to our wokflow, Architecture was the most recommended for us even if we draw water treatment station (we have only make some macro for making pipes for exemple...). We are Constantly doing modifications on our sheets. So DV seems to be good for that (DEM calculate was too long). But there is other pb they don't exist in the 2004 version.
But i'm agree with you no more details on our sheets. But another intersting way to work in 3D because most of our drawer are in 2d.
So for the moment i have some stations that are waiting for me. And We are taking time to adopt a good workflow (when we will have bentley returns). Just a workflow working for the moment and a good after.lol.
regards
I like dv
Most issues I have is speed an a work flow
Work flow become issues when something needs to be developed in a certain masion
This may be the steps to create a good pcs cell
To things you currently should not do in compound cells at this time
To the wrong file type being referenced into another file
Most of these issues are TRs and were difficult to find as they are suppressed to work and in all three of these they do work. ---- sometimes.
These three items effect for me plotting, dwg and v8 translations but never work or viewing.
Then you add the time because of speed (45 minutes to create a dwg file) and you have 100 of them needed this afternoon for an engineer. Wellbyou get the drift.
My next job will be easier. I know most of the pitfalls and a workflow. Most people are just now finding these issues in there jobs and do things like avoid dv for dem. Which losses the things that are good.
So I go back. To a simple question . And even simpler.
Do your plans show more information on a wall than the shape. (hatches, centerlines, etc.?)
So that worker can graphically see what a wall is made of?
And does your section have the same detail?

i'm agree but i can't print my DV. my pen table didn't work with the DV!!! it's why i want a 2d physical files. But even if i only work with DV (and i can print in Blackandwhite), the refresh of my view with 4 or 5 DV is not terrible.
I HAVEN'T TELL YOU THAT I HAVE A FRENCH VERSION. lol. i tell that because our teacher say us that there is some bugs on the french version. It's not the same software!!! lol.
So i wait for bentley...and we start Architecture tomorrow. All is ok.lol.
I have found a manual "Best practices Creating and Using Building Views in Bentley Architecture V8i" and i work like it is writing but...
See you later, i'll make a post when i have solutions.
bye
But do you create an outline plan also???? then have to do 2d on that plan...
I ask this becasue if you create a plan that is readable to what the materials are - you've got that same detail for the section????
If you are having problems getting your Saved file to look exactly like the DV itself, the new Cached Visible Edges in the upcoming beta II might help.
Regarding the ABD workspace, it is different than all previous versions. So whatever you've changed to work with Bentley Architecture will most likely have to change for ABD. I would recommend downloading the beta II when available to at least get a feel for how things have changed.
