• Extraction - parametric solid do not display

    Hi guys!! I have Open Building Designer model with a parametric solids and I would like to create a cut using extractions in AECOsim Building Designer - parametric solid do not display at all. Is that a common thing that parametric solid is not displaying…
  • Geo referencing - using the local Transform Method

    I have set up Geo Referencing as per the recommendations from Bentley https://communities.bentley.com/other/old_site_member_blogs/peer_blogs/b/marc_thomass_blog/posts/series-index-setting-up-in-the-real-world Seem to work fine for referencing between…
  • Generating section information from imported I-models using extractions

    As it is the case that we can't find a suitable way of color filling GA plans in AECOsim where the color fills do not get hidden behind solid elements or cover them over we are now reverting to using Extractions. This has thrown up a new problem in…
  • Stair Extraction Level Name Logic?

    We still have projects working in Bentley BIM v8i (not ABD) and have an issue that could use some help with. Can someone explain the logic for stair extractions in terms of level names for the stairs above and below the cut line? We can’t get the stairs…
  • Extractions For BBMS

    I am very new to the Building Mechanical Systems. I am trying to get some information for extractions using the DEM. I can get a very straight forward extraction, but the isometric, saved views etc. do not seem to work. I went a training course thru Bentley…
  • Extractions not unifying

    Hi, We are having re-occuring problems with a project not unifying extractions. It generally occurs after editing a linear form, but is pretty random as to when it actually becomes corrupt. If you run the extraction using 2 Points & Direction or…
  • I can't delete spaces made in extracted drawings

    Hi, I have this problem with the V8i version. Once I draw spaces in extracted drawings, I can delete the text, but not the boundary...and the layer is not locked. I can only delete it after exploding it, but this is not convenient. Somebody…
  • BBES Extractions and USACE 09Q4b Dataset

    BBES V8i – 08.11.07.03 and USACE 09Q4b Dataset (Unmodified) - Windows XP x32 and Windows 7 x64 Can someone confirm they can get desired results with BBES extractions using the 09Q4b USACE dataset? We have a few problems and I’ll restrict this post…
  • Re: Extraction??

    ok got the RCP to work. Although the Room Names are still not showing. Any ideas?
  • Re: BA XM centerlines

    I just did a test and it worked. I drew 2 round ducts: One with a centerline of style 7, and one with a centerline of "Fire Rated 4 Hours.", (I defined these at the Part level). I then ran an extraction of both ducts, side-by-side. At first, I didn't…
  • Extraction??

    For some reason I'm not getting my extractions to look like they should. The RCP is not showing up and neither is the room names. Any ideas? I have attached the dgn file. Please let me know if I'm missing a step or if I did something wrong. I'm going…
  • RE: Drawing Extraction Settings for BBES

    I typically am asked to show conduit runs as single dashed lines on my 2D drawings, however the extractions of the model show conduit as a double line. Does anyone know how to change the Extraction settings so as to show the desired single line for conduit…
  • Re: BV, DV and detail of design

    Hi i have read your messages and allow me to ask a question (SS2 + Architecture). In V8 2004, i have use DEM and it was very long to calculta my 2d. we are going to use V8I SS2. we have remake our config. We have pb to make extraction with the DEM…
  • BBMS StraighPipe - Change Extraction Symbol

    When extracting single-line piping plans, the "default" pipe drop symbol is usually too small to view in our single-line extractions. Is it possible to configure/replace the default 2D symbol that is used for the top view in single-line plan drawings…
  • Help with Extractions!! (Beginner)

    I'm trying to make some extractions. I'm needing to have all the walls at the same level, color, style, and weight; that they are at right now. So far I have only figured out how to make a extraction that has only one level, color, style, and weight.…
  • Extracting Elevations

    I'm working on running elevation extractions from our 3d model. So far it's working ok, but I would like to tweak some of the lineweights so that the resulting extraction is a little more acceptable in a traditional architectural drafting sense. ie, heavier…
  • How do you modify a shape used for a DEM after the fact?

    If you use a "shape" to define an extraction in the DEM, how do you come back later and modify the shape. It appears you have to delete it and then recreate it? We have about 50 of these setup. Thanks in advance, Brian…
  • Solid Accuracy and DEM

    I am trying to figure out why I am getting small problems all the time when I am making drawing extractions with DEM. Its hard to explain whats happening but sometimes some lines disepear and som times lines show up that dont exist in the 3d-model. …
  • Re: PB with extraction DEM

    Hi emilberger Today i have expose my pb to Bentley and i hope some answer. So the general pb is how to work in 3D in architecture. Make a draw in 3d, no pb (or not yet..lol no). But the pb is to make extraction. With the DEM, many cells are not…
  • Missing Elements in Extractions

    When I am creating an elevation extraction, certain portions (especially parts of window frames) will not show up. I have attached two images. One is of the model file and the other is the extraction. You can clearly see that certain lines of the windows…
  • Drawing Views and Dataset Explorer/Drawing Symbology Strucutral V8i

    Hi everyone, At the moment I'm trying to figure out the relationship between the Dynamic Views and Dataset Explorer. On XM I usually set up cuts and run extractions with dataset rules to tell it what layers it should be put on, with V8i it doesn…
  • Re: Extraction??

    Never mind. Tried to make another RCP the same way and it didn't work.
  • Drawing Extractions in DEM

    I have a problem with my cuts in DEM, the fill in my cuts is displaced with 2mm up and 1 mm to the left. This is only happening when I have the Transpose to XY Plane" box checked and its only occurring in the section cuts, the plane cuts is fine. But…
