"On the Embodied Carbon front, we have looked into this and we have developed a workflow to calculate embodied carbon, based on the ICE database from University of Bath so something similar to what H/B:ERT does, only not in the form of a plug in as of yet. We have things in the pipeline that will enable users to calculate Embodied Carbon in a much easier way."  

This was a year ago; are you at the end of the pipeline/ can you clarify how we do this?

I've just skimmed https://www.hawkinsbrown.com/services/hbert and their GitHub repository, where there is a readme (https://github.com/HawkinsbrownArch/HBERT/blob/BR_WPF_Refactor/Wiki/190702_HBERT_UserGuide.pdf) pointing to this DATABASE, found in the circular economy website.  The ICE Database can be downloaded from the following webpage: https://circularecology.com/embodied-carbon-footprint-database.html. VWX really should look into this as a priority; Hbert is a free, open source bolt-on to Revit would be a reason to get and use Revit, which undermines VWX.

[Override Wall Thickness to Door Lining Depth?]

Good to know Kevin,

Thank you

Select door.

Object info; scroll to: "JAMB" and untick "use wall depth"

 

Manually update jamb width.

[Override Wall Thickness to Door Lining Depth?]

Hi All,

 

I've wall types and a door schedule in a general arrangement plan, the doors are in the wall types I've created.  

 

I have a door schedule that reflects the parameters well, however, the contractor tells me they are to skim the walls in locations, thus increasing the lining depth local to certain doors.

 

How does one increase the door lining depth to selected doors without creating new wall types? I.e. Override the 'locked' wall depth.

 

See "Jamb Depth" location in the screenshot attached.

 

Kind regards,
