    AECOsim Building Designer crash

    Applies To
    Product(s): AECOsim Building Designer
    Version(s): SS6
    Environment: Windows 7/8.1/10 (64 bit)
    Area: Dataset Contents
    Subarea:
    Original Author: Vikrant Kale, Global Technical Support

    Problem Description

    After opening a DGN file AECOsim Building Designer will crash with an exception error.

    If the workspace and dataset is pointing to a correct location and there is no configuration issue. Then this error may be related to one of rul files in the dataset. 

    Steps to Resolve

    1. Check the dataset location and navigate to the folder where rul files have been stored.
      For the installed workspace it will be available under
      i. C:\ProgramData\Bentley\AECOsimBuildingDesigner V8i Ss6\WorkSpace\BuildingDatasets\<dataset name>\rules
      ii. C:\ProgramData\Bentley\AECOsimBuildingDesigner V8i Ss6\WorkSpace\Projects\BuildingExamples\<project name>\support\dataset\rules

      If you are in ProjectWise managed workspace, There are specific variables that can point you to rul file folder
      These variables Specifies the name and location of the file that stores the application's drawing rules.

      ATFFILE_DRAWINGRULES = $(PROJ_DATASET)rules/Architectural.rul
      HVACFILE_DRAWINGRULES = $(PROJ_DATASET)rules/Mechanical.rul
      STFFILE_DRAWINGRULES = $(PROJ_DATASET)rules/Structural.rul
      STFFILE_MODELSTYLES = $(PROJ_DATASET)rules/StructuralAnnotation.rul

    2. Check the size of each rul file and try to open it with notepad. If any file size appears to be 0kb or 0bytes then there is possibility that this file is corrupted.
    3. Replace the file with the correct one, you can always use the installed workspace for files in such cases.
    4. Test now by reopening the DGNs.

    Still a Problem

    If there is still some problem, then please create a Service Request and contact Bentley Product Advantage group along with the list of all relevant details to get in depth analysis and for possible solution or workarounds.
