Crash when modifying pipes


 Product(s):OpenBuildings Designer
 Version(s):CONNECT Edition
 Area:DataGroup System

Problem Description

I have placed some pipes, but after changing the name of these pipes using Catalog Editor when I try to modify their properties OpenBuildings Designer is crashing. How can I fix this crash?


Steps to Accomplish

Please follow the below steps through which you can fix this crash when modifying the pipe's properties.

  1. When you are changed the name of the pipes after placing them in the design model, the catalog items are no longer mapped properly.

  2. So, choose File > Utilities > Data Utilities > DataGroup Transformation Utility.

 

  1. Upon running the DataGroup Transformation Utility tool you can see that there are catalog items (in this case Pipe was used) which are not mapped properly. Changing their name after placement was the root cause for the crash when trying to modify their properties.

 

  1. You will need to map these catalog items to their applicable Destination Catalog and Destination Catalog Instance values.

 

  1. After matching the catalog items, please run the Schema Upgrade Utility tool, save the file, and close it.

  2. Finally, after reopening the file when you now try to modify the properties of these pipes you should be able to do so without any issues.
