--BIMx Export:
Still crucial to have defined one 3D view in your publisher set for BIMx Start, and have the docs above it you want associated with that project model.
Assuming you do that, and publish out your BIMx model to the BIMx transfer site, you should be good-to-go.
The advantage to the publisher-set approach to BIMx versus just being in the 3D window and going to File>Publish BIMx is it gives you both fine-grained control and repeatability – you’ve saved the view, with the given layer combination and graphic over-rides, so it will look that way each time you re-publish.
I have recently been publishing to BIMx from 20, and find it both faster and far less glitch-prone than previous versions.

Subject: Re: AC 20 questions
Thanks Zoltan,
Figured a few of these out:
The label tool has a setting I had not seen that makes the label always the same…don’t remember this from 19. The left selection makes it a fixed angle the right is a relative one (i.e. You can do the label at 0 or 180 degree)
Also figured out the user defined hotspot issue. Another selection that was the default that I have not played with, but it changes the whole workflow (at least for me). The arrow XY button can be on or off…don’t remember using it before either. With it selected it changes how your used defined hotspot works.
The BIMx export I have not figured out yet.
Thanks, Miles

Subject: Re: AC 20 questions
Hi,
- BIMx: I haven’t tested it in AC20 yet…
- Label: the whole thing has been reconfigured. It is worth taking a good look at all the label settings. What I first noticed is that if I eyedrop a label and try to create a new one it creates one that is totally the same. I mean not only the text content, but the angle and length of the “lower leg” of the label! That was odd, but I noticed that there is a new geometry method icon and you can choose between simple and detailed. Try detailed. That might solve your issue. Another thing about labels is that there is two levels of selecting a label. If you click on the text part of it, you can only move the text part and pointer will remain anchored. You will have to click on the pointer part in order to modify that. It is a bit annoying, but some like it.
- Cooktop: which object are you using? Cooktop Built-in 20 works OK, but make sure to modify the “Style” and “Dimensions and Countertop” settings. The latter is responsible for the inner rectangle.
- Tool colors. I don’t know if I understood this one right, but you mean the icons, right? No, you can’t. This is the new look.
- Exclamation marks: I’m not sure, I’m thinking about the same thing, but I think this is the notification that tells you that that the current window has different settings than the view settings. For example, if you open an elevation view from the view map and after doing so you go to layer settings and switch to another layer combination than you will see that elevation with a different layer combo than what you have set up for that view. In this case you will see an (!) after the layer combo in the navigator view map. If you hide or show a layer, same thing. The same (!) will appear in front of the view in the list of tabs of the main workspace window. See attached screen shot. This latter one is a pretty dumb feature, because that exclamation mark will appear at the first temporary change you make after opening a view, which could be a simple panning, scrolling.
If you double click on the same view again, these exclamation marks will disappear.

Subject: AC 20 questions
Hi all. Hope the transition to AC 20 is going ok for all of you.
I have a few questions and was thinking I would try here:
-When I move my user selected hotspot to a new location, I would typically reset to 0,0. But for some reason it reverts back to the last user selected origin location...this is really weird. (ie I select an new user origin, type in a coordinated for say a hotspot and hit enter. It locates that hotspot not from my current location of the user origin, but rather from the last used location)
-Exporting the BIMx model has changed. I have tried a few times, but keep getting the note that there is no 3d data in the BIMx export. What am I missing?
-The Label tool default is to one fixed degree location. In the old label tool I could make it go 0 or 180...now it is just one or the other fixed. Not sure if I am missing some new set-up option.
-The out of the box cooktop objects do not resize properly. They look good for a 32" cooktop, but if you use a 48" one it still shows the same symbol for a 32" one in the new 48" site you have input.
-There is new BIMx export to Hololens? What is this?
-Is there a way to change the tools back to color from the black/white they are?
-What does the (!) mean when it is in front of a layer or plan view?

Miles:
You create a publisher set with your CD layout book in it, and beneath I one single saved BIMx Stat view, which has the layer states and graphic overrides you want.
You go into the Publishing properties, and set to Publish BIMx – it will ask you when you set this up to log into your BIMx Transfer or Graphisoft ID account…
Thereafter, all you do is go into publisher, select that one, publish the WHOLE SET…
Boom ! bob’s yer uncle!

Subject: Re: AC 20 BIMx question
Gerard,
I guess this is the question…since I have not done this before…or up to now. I am looking in my BIMx publisher set (in the organizer). It shows a generic perspective in to out-of- the-box publisher set. How do I change that? Maybe that is why I get no 3d content in my BIMx model. I typically put my BIMx model in dropbox for my clients to play with, but am stumped with AC 20 at this point.
Thanks for the help.

You can save the 3D window view the same way you do with a detail view, plan view, elevation view, schedule view etc. Many methods, but this is what I do usually: go to view map in navigator, right click on a folder and select “Save Current View…”
BTW, Graphisoft has some pretty good tutorials/help pages for creating BIMx. Here is a help page:
I think they also have a youtube video or series of videos on the topic.

Gerard,
Thanks for the feedback…but I have one question. How do I create that start view? I have the 3d window open and I select what? I tried creating a 3d document and that is not it. So what do I select when in the 3d window to create that view?
Thanks for the help,

You right click in your 3D Views (not 3D Documents) area in the viewmap, and choose “Save current view” and name it “BIMx Start”

Yes, it’s easy to confuse a 3D window view and a 3D document…
