Anyone have any idea why TFWALLS would not load (or be allowed to load) in a custom AECOSim workspace...obviously I've missed some variable, but I don't see it.
Thoughts are appreciated.
this is preventing an implementation, and not allowing walls and other items to be placed at all. Help!
Thanks,
Shawn

Sean,
Did you get to the bottom of this.
I'm gradually getting to the bottom of our customized config but feel is that the configuration is much more complex and also more fragile.
Its also frustrating that a lot of variables appear to be repeated in either a BB a TF or a ATF context with no real evidence of which to use, whether they are interchangeable etc.

This may be unrelated, but I discovered when I was customising the frames path in our company dataset that if one of the paths was invalid then the tool wouldn't work and threw a 'Command cannot be completed' in the message centre.
This was despite the GB dataset and project dataset paths being valid - one invalid path breaks the tool seems like a bad way of doing things.
I'll have a go at breaking my parts and datagroupsystem in the same way as the frames to see if there is a similar effect.
As I said before, choices appear to have been made in the way the configuration works that make things very sensitive.
You could try deleting the Wallsz.rsc file that is created under Workspace\BuildingDataset\Dataset_US\data folder and see if that would help.
Thanks

Pradnya: I deleted the WALLSZ.RSC file, but it did not do anything different. TFWALLS still unloads.
Any other ideas? Please advise.
Hi Shawn,
Could you send me the details on the customizations that you have done. That could help me to figure out the problem.
Just installed ABD +1 and I now get the same issue. As soon as I select the Place Wall tool, it unlads the TFWall mdl. if I manually load TFWalls it unloads straight away. Did you get anywhere with this.

Worth noting, it works fine within the default install.
Just installed ABD 81109361.
Can draw walls.
Also in an old SWEdataset I installed.

I was using 08.11.09.376. Not able to draw walls, but was in previous build (release)
Please post the msdebug.txt which could help us identify the issue.
Ian.
Have you been using .225 or the refresh build .325 before this?
BuildingDesigner.cfg was substantially re-written at .325 so that you didn't have to edit it, because in .225 it always forced the US space as the entry point.
Its found here.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\AECOsimBuildingDesigner V8i\AECOsimBuildingDesigner\config\appl
My recollection is that because I knew I had worked on BuildingDesigner.cfg I swaped out my edited version when I installed .325 and the problems you are experiencing ring a bell.
