Design Collaboration to display gridlines/levels.

Design Collaboration to display gridlines/levels.

Design Collaboration to have an option to turn on gridlines/levels for alignment similar to navisworks for alignment of models during 'transform'.  It is near impossible to 'transform' models to the correct location visually, or 'point to point'.  it needs gridlines / levels for 100% accuracy.

Definitely needed for models that include grids and levels.

Although, I assume you mean in Model Coordination, not Design Collaboration?

 

And for models without grids and levels, there needs to be better ways to transform using elements as references. In particular, using faces. e.g. Align a face to a face, but then lock that plane together, so that you can move to another plane and do the same without the first plane disconnecting.

@Chad-Smith,

 

I mean Design Collab, thats where I line up my models, and thats where the transform function is.

 

Yes, needs more development, the prob is that models are from different disciplines / scopes so a lot of the time faces will not be on the same plane. eg. a column in structural model will be displayed as column lining in the arch model. So a lot of guesswork involved at the moment, which is far from professional.

Oh yeah, that's right. I spend more time in Model Coordination that I forgot Transform was also in the team's project model space.

 

Autodesk, Transform needs improving in both modules. 😁
