The option is unavailable as soon as any slope is applied. It is certainly possible that this was resolved in the RTM, as I haven't used it yet. I should be running the real thing shortly, so I will verify and update accordingly. Thanks for the tip though, and the workaround (though I'm in the not worth the extra pain group on the workaround front). Presuming that you can use it on single slope roofs it should at least give people who MUST use parts the ability to make it work.<br /><br />As for the use case, this is another example where it both excels and fails. It works great functionally in the model (element duplication aside), but the documentation side of it is just a disaster IMO.Kelly Conehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11728266376486884629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5920367388027052331.post-57237826603297551602011-03-31T20:55:25.221-07:002011-03-31T20:55:25.221-07:00Hi Kelly,
One minor point on parts and roofs. If...Hi Kelly,<br /><br />One minor point on parts and roofs. If one has a single plane roof, then the part functions works correctly regardless of the pitch. <br />It certainly doesn't work when one is dealing with even a simple hip and valley roof of a standard house. <br />In this instance, the work around is to model each facet of the roof individually - create your parts, do the splits and cut outs and then join the roofs with join geometry. It is pretty clunky and I haven't yet decided if this work around is worse than the previous of copying the roof in a different phase, demoing - hiding etc.<br />Whilst I totally agree with your comments on Parts and BIM, one of the, possibly unintended benefits of parts for those of use work work substantially in the reno extension market, is that we now have a tool where we can model, with some limitations, the full works on a wall / floor etc which is being partially demolished or even simply a new cladding treatment.<br />Still early days, but for me, it is fast becoming a favourite tool.Ian Kidstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15441226138003401584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5920367388027052331.post-4971309859700630822011-03-30T09:06:28.016-07:002011-03-30T09:06:28.016-07:00Made some updates after further digging into these...Made some updates after further digging into these. I will have a great use-case of assemblies to share in the coming days. So, that should be interesting!Kelly Conehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11728266376486884629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5920367388027052331.post-38336146432226159802011-03-28T09:48:41.518-07:002011-03-28T09:48:41.518-07:00I definitely agree on the use case.

If there are any unintentional changes causing the geometry to move, I can see in the number of assemblies and find them automatically.<br /><br />So, another great use there.Kelly Conehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11728266376486884629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5920367388027052331.post-39873028353788648652011-03-25T12:33:55.811-07:002011-03-25T12:33:55.811-07:00Kelly,

We get into providing these documents that become very repetitive when having to create the same views over and over. Assemblies should greatly be able to speed up this process and keep everything organized.<br /><br />There is a sample in the SDK that helps to populate sheets. It does have its limitations, but could help with that side. You are not able to tell which views have been placed already, so you have to mentally track the views when utilizing the sample code. I am sure this could be made into a more robust API solution.tucker_archhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07063817645029199730noreply@blogger.com
