How can I acquire the coordinates of lighting symbols?
At the moment AECOsim Building Designer doesn't provide a way acquire the lighting symbol's coordinates, however, you can use the Zipped custom MDL application linked below. The file should be unzipped to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\AECOsimBuildingDesigner V8i Ss6\AECOsimBuildingDesigner\mdlapps\
Launch AECOsim Building Designer after this and in the keyin browser type in the following commands
This will give you a Save File dialog box where you need to specify the text file name and location.Once you hit save, the program will read all the items in the DGN that have “lightFixture” Datagroup catalog data on them and will write the cell origin along with the element ID.
