• Parametric array export to IFC

    When exporting to an IFC, is there a way to resolve elements created with the "Array parametric solid feature" as individual elements instead of transferring them as a group? Or is there an option to separate the connection already in OpenBuildings so…
  • Triangle orientation based on Height

    I have created a triangle with some parametric constraints. I have also created some Variables to calculate the angle (X). When (C) is at a higher point to (A-B), (X) will be a positive value. I have no issues adjusting for triangle ABC by inputting Lengths…
  • parametric cell bug

    Hi, I got an parametric object with a variable x. If I change the variable, it behaves as intended. But if i save the parametric object to an parametric cell, it doesen't. I can reproduce this behaviour on two windows 10 machienes, with the newest version…
  • Loosing constraints from creating parametric cell from parametric object

    Hello, if I create an object with variables, it behaves as wanted (it scales and 3D-elements move as defined). But if I save it to an parametric cell, some dependencies get loose. When I place this parametric cell and scale some variables it behaves…
  • export parametric cell to IFC, when file is on reference IFC is empty !!

    Hi, I would like to export my file to IFC, the contents of my file are only some paremetrics cells (cube and cylinder) I've no probleme when I export directly to IFC, but when same file is on reference IFC is EMPTY !!! Iook my screenshoots 1 wall…
  • RE: PC Studio in Projectwise environment

    Hi Chris, The parametric tools now available (and that will continue to be developed further) in MicroStation CONNECT Edition will be "consumed", as we call it here, by ABD and other Bentley applications that are based on the MicroStation platform.…
  • Floor Penetrations Tool

    I'm having all sorts of trouble with the Floor Penetrations Tool. If you refer to the attached screen grab, you'll see that the heads-up dimensions for this penetration differ from the dimensions reported in DataGroup Explorer!? The peno was orginally…
  • Re: Troubles when setting out parametric cells

    Andreas, I have attached two section of the parametric "User Guide" discussing the naming of certain paths in Parametric Cells. They are both clipped from section Bentley Architecture Content - Doors Creating-a-Reference-Frame-snippet_A is from sub section…
  • Bentleys Content Options

    Anyone, We have a client requesting Bentley BIM, eventually AECOSim and I’m trying to get a handle on the different Bentleys content options. what works with the dataset catalogs and what doesn’t, what is parametric and what isn’t. From what I can…
  • Datagroup explorer AECOSIM

    Hi. We works on BA with V8I select 3. not very good. so we are waiting for aecosim... in french. I have already aecosim and begin to look at it. I have the version 225. I have read, and i note, that when we modify a parametric cell with the edit…
  • Shouldn't elements created on a particular floor height recognize that the floor hieght has been adjusted ?

    It is great that it is so easy to adjust the levels of floor heights in the Floor level manager, but a complete nightmare having to adjust the base elevation of walls, slabs and other elements such as toilets and urinals to suit the new levels. It is…
  • Re: Parametric Cells issue

    Yes, I'd add *everything* in before doing anything else. If that doesn't work, then more investigation would be needed.
  • Re: Bentley Plan for Parametric Modeling

    Hi Jordan, A lot of people would like to know the answer to your questions!! The GC/BA BeConnected seminar on the 14th may give us some more clues. I think all of the Bentley products are getting more 'dynamic' and parametric. Being more…
  • Re: Parametric Cells issue

    Make sure the last column in the Catalog Editor is filled in wth the exact syntax of the respective PCS parameter names.
  • Re: Datagroup explorer AECOSIM

    Thanks Andreas. Another questions. I have hear that PCstudio may be replace in the future ?? I've creating a paz cell, seems like rect penetrations for slab, but no the result as expected. i use Dynamic view to test it. with a top view…
  • Adjusting Hollow Metal door heads

    I need to modify the head of a hollow metal door to be 4" without adjusting the rest of the frame. I am not sure if this needs to be done in PCS or in Bentley. When in bentley, if you double click on a door it gives you an option to adjust the frame thickness…
  • Re: Parametric Cells issue

    Hmmm.... One more thing. Try setting default catalog values to match those in PCS.
