Currently, drawings are updated either automatically or manually. Both are problematic. Automatic updating on medium to large projects wastes a lot of time, as minor edits to a layout require all the drawings to be updated. If you opened the wrong la...

Can view settings include the sun position settings. Rather than opening the view, editing the date & time and redefining the view. It would be much easier to edit and verify the settings are correct if they were shown in the view settings.

Can elevations & sections respond to the date & time saved in the view settings. Currently elevations & sections settings allow the sun to be set by the 3D date & time. The altitude and azimuth (with East being 0˚ - this will be important later) is s...

At the moment, I think this is just outside what is possible and I wanted to check I haven't missed something before going off on an alternate solution. I want to schedule the ID, name and description of the BMat used in a Custom Profile, referenced ...

I've reached a dead-end and can't work this out. It's a first for me using the POLY2_B{2} command and I'm trying to set the fill origin for a fill to the center of the fill. I've got the j4(8) code in the frame fill it responds to changes in the orig...

It's unfortunate that this has to be on the table, but it pays to be prepared. My only question would be which format do you think would be best? Should the files download as native files .e.g .pln .mod .ifc etc. Any changes not sent through would be...

It would be good if the original design option was shown when hovering over an element. We are starting to use design options in combination with the iceberg method more. Coming on to a project and finding your way back to the source element can be t...

Needed that 10 versions ago in AC18. But I'll settle for now. I always hate having to tell staff something has to be modelled in a very strict manner just so the label shows up in the correct location. I'd rather spend the time coding that into GDL s...

100% agree. While we haven't moved to cloud licences yet, we're already faced with a similar issue with placeholder BIMcloud accounts for spare computers and computers in meeting rooms. That makes sense as BIMcloud has to track who has what reserved,...
