    • Does anyone understand the relationship between variables in PC studio and what shows up in the properties in OpenBuildings?

      Bill Hodgson
      Bill Hodgson
      Is it possible that variables from .paz files show up in the properties panel when they are not linked to properties in the datagroup explorer. I am discovering that the variables don't always appear as drop down lists in the datagroup explorer when I…

      I don't think you can add a variable to a path width. This path can only be extruded to add a height. If you want both a height and width, you will need to draw a arc path without a width. Then offset the path and add a dimension to the offset. This…

      I'm not sure about the "v" aspect, but you can assign a part to a PCS solid: - Double-click on the applicable solid and switch to the Attributes tab. - Right-click and choose New - For families, use the attribute _TF_PARTFAMNAME and type in…

      Interesting... I am now seeing some glitchiness in 8.11.7 as well - for the first time. But for whatever reason, it only seems to happen when I use my mouse's scroll wheel to zoom in and out. Using the PCS zoom tools works as expected.

      "This worked - didn't work - and now does work in the current version." Correct. The PAZ Edit In Place function did not work correctly in BA 08.11.05.xx, but was resolved in 08.11.07.xx.

      I added all the variables defined in PCStudio file to the Catalog Editor and still no success. As before some of the variable dimensions work as expected while most of them only defaults to the values in PCS at the time of publishing paz files.

      The reason you cannot set a dimension from the edge of the volume is because the cutting profile you used is already constrained by its width and height. PCS does this by default when you draw path 2d elements. In order to set a dimension value from…

      Do you get an angle dimension when selecting the path? If so, that should allow you to modify the bulge. They seem similar to the Start, End, Mid option when placing an arc in MicroStation.

      Hi Luc, this seems to be one of those on-again/off-again issues that some see all the time, and others rarely (if at all). So it's not something easily resolved since it is so intermittent. If the view is fitted, what happens if you slightly zoom…

      Jordan, the problem with an issue like this is that the underlying code can only be stepped through when the issue is occurring. So without a developer running a debug on a system where these glitches occur, there's nothing to actually review! …
