Hello,
I would like to automatize the function Attach Instance Data (key in : dg add data).
We have hundreds of elements designed with pure MicroStation. Now the final customer ask to have IFC instead DGN. In DGN all the attributes have been stored as "Item Types". As these informations cannot be exported to IFC, we must convert them to something we can export...
Do do that, we must read these informations and save them into Catalog Items using AECOsim.
Many thanks to all for your ideas and your expertise !
Philippe
Hi all!
Did anyone find out an answer to this thread? I have the exact same issue now. I am working with Openbuilding but the code should be no different than for AECOsim
Thanks in advance,
Victor
Hi Philippe, Victor,
I know what you are trying to do, and I think the best way to do it is using GenerativeComponents capabilities included with AECOsim / OpenBuildings.
What you need to do is find the elements in the DGN you want to convert into BuildingElements and just add "Catalog Information", as it is explained in this example from my colleague Karsten Pudziow: https://youtu.be/og9YxRC2gQE
I hope you can see it clearly there, If not, let me know and I will try to show it to you.
Hello Eduardo, I am very interested in this capability.I have imported cells from DWG that need to be matching a catalog item.
Add Intance Data tool works fine but is it possible to make it using automation ?
I wonder if the link you were mentioning is not this one : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMei0QM6rwQ
thanks before hand
