GC Node for Item Types

HI Alifur,

Great Coffee Corner last week.

You mentioned that GC does not support Item Types.

Are there any plans to support this? I know you mentioned using DataGroups but this is only available for OBD.

DataGroups also do not support Expressions and is quite limited functionality-wise. It seems like a lot of new developments will be done at platform level using Item Types, which duplicates a lot of the DGS functions..and would be easier for other verticals like OpenRoads, OpenBridge etc to adopt and share info.

  • Dominic. Check out Edward Ashbolt's GitHub repository called GCcommunity it included an Item Types node

    Regards

  • Thanks Chris. I have been a bit slack in keeping my repo updated, but let me know if you would like a revised version with improvements made and support for update 8.
    Cheers,

    Ed

  • Hi Ed. No worries. Been looking at the repo today. I was looking at ORD specific ones, Terrain, Alignment, Corridor no where near ready for testing

  • Oh I forgot you were working on those! I did build some alignment and terrain methods recently... One for draping elements to terrain models, and one for placing points / coordinate systems along an alignment. Works fine but requires one of the Civil suite applications, I couldn't get the required assemblies to execute properly within OpenBuildings.

  • Definitely be interested in seeing what you have managed to develop, might just given me the missing bits I need.
