Re: DataGroup data in Model
Paul Wagner
Hmmm, trying to think of a good workflow for the possibility.... Maybe use Select By attributes and search for a particular cell name, apply the Select By Display filter. Then go to the DG Explorer and highlight the ones that have DG on them, the ones…

Re: Connecting PAZ files with Bentley Architecture
Rabindra Adhikari
Thanks Shawn! I solved the problem. The Datagroup Catalog editor opens "tflocal.cfg" instead of "atflocal.cfg" or any other application related cfg files. Since our custom "cfg" is fired when "Architecture" is used, it was pointing to "atflocal…

Re: Parts definition / centerline
T_Wollet
Andreas: In V8i there is a new variable BB_DVDATASETELEMENTS that if defined will scan the dataset for Level names and cross reference those with the DGNLIB levels. If they are not defined in a DGNLIB the application will create the level in the…

Rabindra Adhikari
Thanks Shawn for such an elaborative explaination. I did find the tutorial and its a good resource. It seems like my issue is little different here. We have our configuration setup such that, the DG_PATH and other related DATAGRROUP SYSTEM variables…

Re: Centerlines for round ductwork in Bentley Building Mechanical V8
Steve Cocchi
Actually.... you were already there (almost). See the arrow pointing to Drawing Symbology? If you select that, you'll see symbology settings for Cut Plane and Forward View as you scroll from left to right.

Mark Holloway
Hi, Does anyone know how I can create a Definition File to add to a DataGroup Catolog item, which would return geometric values relating to the modelled items? For example: I draw a number of horizontal planes at different levels, and "Add Instance…

Re: Parts definition / centerline
Steve Cocchi
Ah, I see... You're right, in suite mode the Centerline attribute doesn't display. It's as though the Structural attributes are "driving" the suite, though I'm not really sure why (or if that's even accurate). However, if you right-click over…

Re: Connecting PAZ files with Bentley Architecture
Rabindra Adhikari
Hi Steve, Yes Catalog editor prompts to let us choose the projects. It means the pcf's are being read. But somewhere the DG_PATH is limited to point to the location defined by triforma.cfg (sorry I said tflocal. cfg earlier). When I validate the…
