&lt;td&gt;Datasets&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;CONNECT Edition&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;During installation AECOsim Building Designer CONNECT Edition now includes the regional datasets as installable options.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regional datasets can be added/omitted by going to Windows &amp;gt; Control Panel &amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;Programs and Features &amp;gt; Right-click on AECOsim Building Designer CONNECT Edition &amp;gt; Change &amp;gt; Configure:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/940x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-04-83/6443.ABD_5F00_CE_5F00_Installer_2D00_ConfigureOptions_5F00_00.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then follow the steps described in &lt;a href="/products/building/building_analysis___design/w/building_analysis_and_design__wiki/35495.connect-edition-installing-aecosim-building-designer"&gt;CONNECT Edition - Installing AECOsim Building Designer&lt;/a&gt; to go through to the Features dialog where the regional daatsets can be selected:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-04-83/ABD_5F00_CE_5F00_Installer_5F00_SelectDatasets.png"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/940x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-04-83/ABD_5F00_CE_5F00_Installer_5F00_SelectDatasets.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;V8i Versions&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A single standalone installation should be very straightforward. Download the application and any regional datasets that you need to use, for example using SELECTseries 5:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AECOsim Building Designer V8i (English) x86 - 08.11.09.747, this includes the default US Imperial dataset.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To this you can add regional datasets, for instance:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AECOsim Building Designer, SELECTseries 5 - Dataset SE (Sweden) (MultiLanguage) x86&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 08.11.09.728&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AECOsim Building Designer, SELECTseries 5 - Dataset GB (United Kingdom) (English) x86&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 08.11.09.728&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AECOsim Building Designer, SELECTseries 5 - Dataset NM (Neutral Metric) (MultiLanguage) x86&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 08.11.09.730&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Before installing, set Windows UAC to the minimum value during installation, reset to it&amp;#39;s previous value once finished.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Install the application using the &amp;#39;Run as administrator option&amp;#39;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that the Optional &amp;#39;Visualisation Content&amp;#39; is a 200Mb download and can take some time, you may prefer to deselect it. The content is primarily sample vehicles for use in rendering. It can be added at a later date if needed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Install the regional datasets that you want, when prompted, pick the &amp;#39;install in workspace&amp;#39; option.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you were to install all of the above, you should then find in C:\ProgramData\Bentley\AECOsimBuildingDesigner V8i Ss5\WorkSpace\BuildingDatasets subfolders:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Dataset_GB&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Dataset_NM&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Dataset_SE&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Dataset_US.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In C:\ProgramData\Bentley\AECOsimBuildingDesigner V8i Ss5\WorkSpace\Projects\BuildingExamples you should find:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;BuildingTemplate_GB&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;BuildingTemplate_NM_Full&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;BuildingTemplate_NM_Light&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;BuildingTemplate_SE&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;BuildingTemplate_US.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When you open AECOsim Building Designer the initial Open Dialog will show the Projects pop-down menu at the lower right that will include these names.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you are happy to use the default locations to store your project data create your own projects by copying and renaming the appropriate template folder, e.g. for a GB dataset project copy the whole of BuildingTemplate_GB to the same folder renaming it, for example, MyProject_GB.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You will now have an additional folder C:\ProgramData\Bentley\AECOsimBuildingDesigner V8i Ss5\WorkSpace\Projects\BuildingExamples\MyProject_GB. This will also be listed in the Projects pop-down menu. Note that AECOsim Building Designer may need to be restarted for the new project to show up.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The AECOsim Building Designer configuration can be modified to locate your project data in a different local folder or on the network. Many other configuration settings are available to modify the application&amp;#39;s behaviour to suit your needs or environment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You may also find the example given in &lt;a href="/other/old_site_member_blogs/peer_blogs/b/marc_thomass_blog/archive/2014/07/31/aecosim-building-designer-quickconfig-standard"&gt; AECOsim Building Designer - QuickConfig Standard&lt;/a&gt; helpful as a guide for V8i configuration.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To this you can add regional datasets, for instance:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AECOsim Building Designer, SELECTseries 5 - Dataset SE (Sweden) (MultiLanguage) x86&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 08.11.09.728&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AECOsim Building Designer, SELECTseries 5 - Dataset GB (United Kingdom) (English) x86&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 08.11.09.728&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AECOsim Building Designer, SELECTseries 5 - Dataset NM (Neutral Metric) (MultiLanguage) x86&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 08.11.09.730&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Before installing, set Windows UAC to the minimum value during installation, reset to it&amp;#39;s previous value once finished.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Install the application using the &amp;#39;Run as administrator option&amp;#39;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that the Optional &amp;#39;Visualisation Content&amp;#39; is a 200Mb download and can take some time, you may prefer to deselect it. The content is primarily sample vehicles for use in rendering. It can be added at a later date if needed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Install the regional datasets that you want, when prompted, pick the &amp;#39;install in workspace&amp;#39; option.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you were to install all of the above, you should then find in C:\ProgramData\Bentley\AECOsimBuildingDesigner V8i Ss5\WorkSpace\BuildingDatasets subfolders:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Dataset_GB&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Dataset_NM&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Dataset_SE&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Dataset_US.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In C:\ProgramData\Bentley\AECOsimBuildingDesigner V8i Ss5\WorkSpace\Projects\BuildingExamples you should find:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;BuildingTemplate_GB&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;BuildingTemplate_NM_Full&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;BuildingTemplate_NM_Light&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;BuildingTemplate_SE&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;BuildingTemplate_US.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When you open AECOsim Building Designer the initial Open Dialog will show the Projects pop-down menu at the lower right that will include these names.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you are happy to use the default locations to store your project data create your own projects by copying and renaming the appropriate template folder, e.g. for a GB dataset project copy the whole of BuildingTemplate_GB to the same folder renaming it, for example, MyProject_GB.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You will now have an additional folder C:\ProgramData\Bentley\AECOsimBuildingDesigner V8i Ss5\WorkSpace\Projects\BuildingExamples\MyProject_GB. This will also be listed in the Projects pop-down menu. Note that AECOsim Building Designer may need to be restarted for the new project to show up.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The AECOsim Building Designer configuration can be modified to locate your project data in a different local folder or on the network. Many other configuration settings are available to modify the application&amp;#39;s behaviour to suit your needs or environment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have written about some of these on my &lt;a href="/members/marc-thomas/blogs"&gt;Bentley blog&lt;/a&gt; to accompany the information provided in our help documentation and online wikis. You may also find the example given in &lt;a href="/other/old_site_member_blogs/peer_blogs/b/marc_thomass_blog/archive/2014/07/31/aecosim-building-designer-quickconfig-standard"&gt; AECOsim Building Designer - QuickConfig Standard&lt;/a&gt; helpful.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A single standalone installation should be very straightforward. Download the application and any regional datasets that you need to use, for example using SELECTseries 5:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AECOsim Building Designer V8i (English) x86 - 08.11.09.747, this includes the default US Imperial dataset.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To this you can add regional datasets, for instance:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AECOsim Building Designer, SELECTseries 5 - Dataset SE (Sweden) (MultiLanguage) x86&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 08.11.09.728&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AECOsim Building Designer, SELECTseries 5 - Dataset GB (United Kingdom) (English) x86&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 08.11.09.728&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AECOsim Building Designer, SELECTseries 5 - Dataset NM (Neutral Metric) (MultiLanguage) x86&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 08.11.09.730&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Before installing, set Windows UAC to the minimum value during installation, reset to it&amp;#39;s previous value once finished.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Install the application using the &amp;#39;Run as administrator option&amp;#39;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that the Optional &amp;#39;Visualisation Content&amp;#39; is a 200Mb download and can take some time, you may prefer to deselect it. The content is primarily sample vehicles for use in rendering. It can be added at a later date if needed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Dataset_GB&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Dataset_NM&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Dataset_SE&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Dataset_US.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In C:\ProgramData\Bentley\AECOsimBuildingDesigner V8i Ss5\WorkSpace\Projects\BuildingExamples you should find:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;BuildingTemplate_GB&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;BuildingTemplate_NM_Full&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;BuildingTemplate_NM_Light&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;BuildingTemplate_SE&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;BuildingTemplate_US.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
