Premium discount does not appear to be working.

BimX is way to view a Archicad project. BimX only lets you look at the model and drawings. It does not export anything. You would have to get the Archicad file saved to the skp format for you to work with it.

I'm a user of Twinmotion and one of the things that has always been subpar is the lack of a true manual. In previous versions there existed printed directions for things. In the 2019 version, Abvent only had short videos for instructions. No speech, just try to see where the mouse is going and figure out what was happening. I am sure this was to avoid creating a printed manual in several languages. Lumion in this respect is far superior. That being said, Twinmotion is very easy to use and the results are quick. I think the acquisition by Epic is great and that Twinmotion will get much better (it's already good) with their level of support.

This would be GREAT addition to this plugin. I do this work manually at present and it is tedious to say the least. This would be a great time saver.

Since you are looking at CMU sizes, in the real world the 3/8" mortar space sometimes gets fudged. For example, if I have a 100' long building, technically the block spacing would create a wall which is 3/8" short at one end. This doesn't happen. The block layers will stretch the spacing over some distance to get the last block to line up at 100'. The same thing happens at overhead doors and man doors. For example, a metal man door frame is typically 3'-4" wide, not 3'-4 3/8" wide which the accurate block spacing would require. When you are modelling everything to a theoretical accuracy, it sometimes doesn't jive with reality. Not sure how you resolve this.

I would put a request in for all the Simpson Outdoor Accent Connectors as well as the CPTZ Concealed Post tie. I've modeled some of these for one project but it would be great if they were incorporated into your extension (almost called it a plugin ).

My best method is to export a dwg file from Revit but do a solid export. This keeps everthything grouped and exports to layers. There is still some cleanup to do but there is no perfect solution.

Logged into Sketchucation this morning and something looked different. My membership information has disappeared and my account is listed as basic. My automatic renewal to a premium membership was processed yesterday. Something is amiss.

I have the exact same problem. Somethings broken. Not sure if this a Trimble problem or a Microsoft problem. Microsoft seems to break something every other update.

I'm quite familiar with SIPs. They definitely have their pluses and minuses. They certainly aren't cheap but can be quite effective if installed properly. The key here is that contrary to the suggestion from Eco Panels that low priced labour can erect their product, there better be someone on site who really knows what they are doing. I have seen some bad installs (not Eco Panel's products) and the long term implications are quite serious. While I have been a promoter of SIPs in the past, I think there are easier and cheaper ways to get good R values.
