• CREATE A SYSTEM FAMILY IN AECOSIM SAME AS REVIT

    For an example if we are creating a MEP family in revit we have an option connector then we can choose pipe connector, duct connector etc..., like same how we create MEP cells in aecosim with pipe connector help me to solve this issue Thanks
  • Has the "elevation angle" parameter for a line changed in Connect Edition?

    For site design of disabled accessible surfaces, we created a simple cell that would report the "elevation angle" of a line, using a field to capture the angle parameter of the line. In radians format, this angle is equivalent to the dimensionless slope…

  • Updating DataGroup Annotation Cells

    Simple question (hopefully)... I've manually placed a bunch of DG annotaion cells. I now realise I want to change the level of some text in the cell, so I use "Manage DataGroup Annotation Cells" and edit the levels as required. Now when I place…
  • Bug # 52820 - Broken annotation cells

    Hello, We are using AECOsim BD SS4 (08.11.09.622) runnning Windows 7 SP1 on a large renovation project. Due to complex construction phase requirements we have set up 3D model files to store all live 3D objects. We then created Dynamic View Model files…
  • dataset explorer - part definition - use annotation scale dependant cell pattern

    I'm creating a part library for our company. We use both 1:100 and 1:50 frequently for our output drawings. I would like to have the same patterning on both scales. Now my pattern looks fine on 1:50 but is too dense to use on 1:100. I created a model…
