Forum Post: RE: Compound Cell Drawing Symbols – ABD vs. BA
OK, it turns out that the future compound cell "behaviors" were at some point re-targeted at Parametric Content Modeler. I'm not sure where or how that will pan out in the end, but we should have a...

Steve, While it's a bit tough to swallow at the moment, I really appreciate your hunting down the status. What do think about compiling a defect? Would it help any??

Steve, Yes. I sent 2nd minidump, it freed up, then 2secs into "rotate view" it exited to desktop while still dragging "rotate" data-point. Ss5 seemed ok after Ss4 crash, but I really hadn't tested...

IFC Import tries to transform imported elements as best as possible to ABD elements, while IFC Open transforms them to MicroStation elements. The latter results in near 100% fidelity of geometry, but...

We had no issues but also required no changes to size. Our UOR is divisible by 12 and 10 at a large amount So All I do is say that I am now a metric file though a key-in for the design file settings...

In a design workflow you will get new updates of the files - so you don't want to post process by moving things to new levels etc. Is there a reason why the ABD import becomes so big? And any work...

Thanks for the responses. Sounds like its possible, most likely with references and or named groups. I will have a look shortly and see if i can get something to work.

Please do report back if you find a workable workaround. i bought AECOsim believing that working in 3D plus automation of things like this would save much time. Far from it, so far - neither the 3d...

You are quite welcome. Unfortunately no, re-logging it as a Defect would have no benefit at this stage. The development work required would be the same either way so that's really where the...

Thanks for the detailed response, Jeff. Much of what you've described is a first for me, and definitely not the norm in any way. The fact that XP Compatibility mode sets things right for Ss5 could...
