Has anybody had problems with connecting numbers into instance data in ABD/GC?
Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. I am also not allowed to input information directly in the datagroup explorer.
The below is just me trying to input a number/string into ObjectIdentity | ID. (It's a GIF, click picture for animation.)
Hi Michael,
The ObjectIdentity_Description and also ObjectIdentity_Tag properties require strings as inputs. In GC, as commonly in C-languages, there is no automatic casting of numeric types to strings (or vice versa). Therefore, it is necessary to either cast ID to string by entering in ObjectIdentity_Description "ID.ToString()" (without the quotes), or to form ID as a string in the first place by entering in ID's Value input property '20' (including the quotes), or "20" (both forms are permitted in GC, single quotes connoting a Pascal string, double quotes a C-type string).
Then the assignment will stick.
I'll look into the current behavior that the connection does not stick. It should stick and Wall_L02 (in your case) should be decorated with a failure/error badge with a message about incorrect input types or something like that.
Regards,
Volker
I tried once again. It does connect, but it still does not work as it does not register the data in the datagroup explorer.
I have had this problem before and have actually not gotten the connection between them to work with values that I input myself. Standard values like volume and area are filled out correctly, but if I want to input something through the nodes it does not register.
It is also not possible to input values manually in the datagroup explorer.
Hi, has this bug been sorted after 3.5 years?
I have the same issue.
Schedules are not being updated with GC element data fields (technique inputs fields)
Hello Tomasz,
I have tested this feature in one of the internal builds of the upcoming OBD GC, it is working fine expect few nodes. We have already filed a corresponding defect for the same.
We have additonal project key_field and those are not updating schedules at all, with GC data. Glad to hear you are woking on it. Hope this will be updated soon as schedules are integrated part of any BiM project.
