I think the thought process of what an elevation or section are need to change a bit as what we use has changed I see the same of a section looking at the front of the building and clip, hide or hatch...

Now if it is a curve you have to strech out I will conceed to the need for a manual elevation. But for any flat wall you can position a cut in an interior room in front of a wall or outside the...

The cutting profile seems to follow the joint between two separate SmartSolids. What was the end result you were looking for?

"eff-be"ex"... clever. ;-) What did you need to do? FWIW, there's a fix that I believe is in Ss5 for carrying over transparency when exporting to FXB and/or OBJ. Unfortunately, that is...

I want photo realistic renderings of my model. And my render guy wanted the model in this format. But I only get files of size 0 (=zero) when I try. When testing with only one solid or one wall the...

Andreas, I'm not suggesting getting rid of the IFC viewer's ability to calculate its own quantites, such as the "Quantities" tab in Solibri. I just want AECOsim to burn its information to the tab...

And which data would you want to see? Take e.g. a slab with some cuts into it. Bentley has 2 different values for the volume, for example. The volume without features subtracted, the volume with...

I'm expecting the cut to look exactly like the cut profile, instead I'm getting a cut that is similar but not exact.

When you make your bspline do two things. Make sure you use Depth lock then the following will work Make sure the ends you create snap to the edge of your original solid. You could also cheat - Make...

I use ACS, Accudraw and AccuSnap and Depth Lock is a Must. Not for Day to day but for modeling. My ACS is tied to the building so If I change it to use it I then add a whole lot of work as I've just...

Eveyone misses the point here. The ACS for ABD is tied to one plane and the Depth Lock a totally different Plane. And it does effect the placemnt point as it keeps everything I draw within that...
