Recognize Zones with an IFC model with Energy Simulator
Rafael Bombardiere Carvajal
Hello good ABD community, I wanted to ask you guys if anyone knows how to import zones from an IFC file to ABD Energy Simulator? Is there a way to interoperate with IFC to do energy analysis. Regards Rafael

Re: Revit Family Import
dominic Seah
Roadblock ahead? Ideally, BA, BBMS etc should be able to import Revit files / families as components so that Bentley users can 'ride the market'. Not sure if Bentley's recent agreement with AutoDesk gives Bentley access to Revits' libraries as…

Re: Revit Family Import
dominic Seah
Hi Shawn, Firstly, I would respectfully question the following notions: - 1. I think your stance is essentially one of 'wait and see'. If the users don't ask for it or can't use it, we don't need it... yet. 2. Something looks similar…

Re: Manufacturer Content for Bentley Arch.
dominic Seah
Manufacturers will want to support the format with the most market share. The AEC CAD market seems to be by and large mature, with AD the dominant player in terms of licence numbers. I don't think its in AD's interest to open up RVT, yet. They can…

Re: Revit Family Import
dominic Seah
I hear IFC is not going anywhere very quickly and very watered down to suit all partners. Probably one reason its so complicated ? AD is probably not motivated to push it forward quickly and the AEC market is not like the plant sector where the…

Re: Why are files exported from Revit protected?

PS: So, this is the main reason why I am a bit allergic to 'over the wall, red-lining, don't touch my stuff' style coordination. My personal experience is that it sucks and only serves to let middle managers off the hook because they can blame each…

Re: Why are files exported from Revit protected?

BrianJ, Why are you so sure Bentley have got it right ? You will look a silly fan boy if Bentley makes i-models editable in future :-) In fact, there are signs of this already happening with Structure's ISM file. The work flows you mentioned: Clash…

Re: Manufacturer Content for Bentley Arch.
dominic Seah
Yes. I guess its too bad (or good !) that Bentley's agreement with Autodesk didn't cover Revit's file format. Maybe we will see a OpenRVT alliance soon, which does the same thing OpenDWG does today? Its amazing how file formats continue to be such a pain…

Re: Revit Family Import
dominic Seah
Shawn, You should have a quick look at ACAD constraints and Dynamic blocks. I suspect you haven't, looking at your comments. DB functionality and completeness are far in advance of Mstn's DDD, especially in ACAD 2010. And Mstn's feature…

Re: Revit Family Import
dominic Seah
Andreas, I think the answer is a qualified yes. I think the constraints in Revit are not as complete and not as 'pure' as the constraints tool set in ACAD 2010. Here is a link to a list of limitations. Bear in mind this list is based on an older…

Re: Reflected Ceilings in 3D model
dominic Seah
Yeess...BA ‘practitioner tools' have been pretty 'low tech' for a while. It's probably because BA is based on a third party add-on that was acquired centuries ago. Hopefully, there is some ‘next gen' rethinking going on back at Bentley HQ. Revit ‘cough…
