Hi i found a solution via data tag. i linked that one to a database. that got the job done.

Hi sorry for mixing up and not being exact. What i am talking about is the space object that could be generated out of spotlight and of course with a lot more options out of the design suite. Both of them show the default ifcspace database. Via the data manger an extra database could be attached to mark the spaces to work with. Or pushing them into an extra class. Fitting the viewport with a "buffer" to the object sounds good. Placing a title block on the sheet layer (with a choice option upfront) really helps. Have you ever seen this marionette script attached? Have a look at the comments. It comes close.

hi just stumbled in here as I am facing a similar question/task. I have an imported ifc-file with about 800 ifc-space objects. these should each be placed as a separate viewport on a layout layer with matching scale to fill the sheet. these should be named to match the room number. the selection of the rooms should run via attached database with an entry as criterion. the sheet format, the database and the entry of the criterion should be disbursable in a dialog. has there ever been something like this or is my thinking too far away. @Jesse Cogswell

@Pat Stanford: thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. As always!

Hi is it possible to close 10 (or more or less) worksheet without clicking 10times on this tiny X-button? Why I am asking: when publishing my plots, sometimes there are some worksheets that hide on the second screen. When they are still open there is only an X showing in my pdf files. Thanks for help.

Solved it: I changed the database entry from TV -> Display. That caused an error. @C. Andrew Dunning: what is the tool using the "TV" for?

Hi when using the television tool and trying to insert the display (see vwx file with example below) I get an error " the symbol you have chosen is not a valid Television model or is incorrect for the type and aspect you have chosen." Once it lives inside the drawing it functions normal when you leave it alone. When you make changes the television tool is no more able to "see" this symbol. Any ideas? error 86inch.vwx

Hi regarding the coverage zone: is it possible to switch from "hatch" to a "gradient"? if yes: what are the steps? Thanks!

@Pat Stanford i am more than happy having you monitoring all parts of the forum 😉 i came up with this task because i found this post. 1. absolutely not. vw2023. 2. It looks like a normal office building with 6 stories. 3. both. puzzle and nice and clean. there is no need the border fits the exact layout of the room. a rectangle would do the job. i will not need all rooms. only the ones that contain av tec. that is marked out via my own database with a popup that says: "---" or "yes". what i wanted to say is: it would be nice to have a dialog windows where these parameters could be entered before the command is executed.

@trevorgooch thank yo very much for the time you put into working that out !!!

@shorterThanks for the response. Please check your pm.

Moin I am currently failing with the following workflow and probably need a pusher in the right direction. Import ifc file from the architect with ifcspace objects. I would like to stick my pset to these objects using a data manager. Then I would like to export a csv/excel file with the room names of the ifcspace objects and all data fields of my database. This file would then be received by a colleague and fill/change my data field. I now get this file back and import it and compare it with the data fields in the vwx file. Ideally, I could solve synchronization problems in a list manually. I look forward to your suggestions.

Hello, is it possible to link the name of the worksheet to a cell inside? If yes: what to put into the cell? Thanks for help. Thomas

Ever thought about using the data manager? that is what it was made for.

Hi @t-bud, regarding topic 1.: there is no real time link. you can use the following to sync the field you need: topic 2.: can you explain by"graphical representation" in detail? Thomas

@Conrad Preen maybe there is once again the gap between international and local: when I use the function it came up with this: =OBJEKTDATEN('EVAL SOCKET DEVICE'.'DEVICE') I created a quick report and the result see screenshots. Testet with new file created with v2022 and import from 2021. I don't think N/A is the expected result. If needed I can send the file via DM.

Hi is it possible to change the following data: 'Device-External'.'name' from <EXT> to anything else? When i try to change via worksheet my entry is overwritten immediately.

This Post assists doing the Job:

@Conrad Preen in most cases they are shipped with standard rack mounting. on demand you can get every cabinet or touring rack with: https://www.adamhall.com/shop/de-de/19-rack-zubehoer/19-rack-schienen/948/6162?c=16197 this is nice when you have a lot of non RU devices. In this case the integrator works with distances instead of RU.

Hi @Conrad Preen glad you asked 😉 https://www.technikcoach.de/untertischcontainer https://www.se.com/de/de/product-range/2573-casys-vdh/?parent-subcategory-id=3830#overview https://www.19power.de/6he-10-zoll-wandschrank-serverschrank-mit-glastuer-370x450x368mm-komplett-montiert.html Sorry for linking german websites...

Hi Michael depends. Usually all Devices in the document.

Hi how to connect more than one device to the same drop point with a "single" mouse click? Does it work as designed and i have to do the same command for twenty times? Showcase: table contains 20 preview displays all connect separately to a floor drop Best Thomas
