BlenderBIM - How to add a grid axis?

  1. T by tsvilans on 19 Nov 2023, edited 5 Apr 2024 #

    Hi,

    I watched the very helpful video tutorials and poked around the code, but I can't seem to find out how to add more grid axes to an existing grid. Duplicating the IfcGridAxis object does not work - it simply does not duplicate anything - and there is no entry for IfcGrid or IfcGridAxis if you want to assign an IFC class manually...

    Is this still to-do or am I missing a key panel/tool/workflow?

    Thanks!

    Hi @theoryshaw

    Welcome. In BB preferences, uncheck the following...

    is the Grid somehow not working in BBIM with Blender 4.x+?

    after setting the axis (number and spacing) by pressing F9

    whatever change I apply (since grids have often more than one spacing value) to it the .ifc file keeps the original arrangement

    also, if I try to shift+D one axis in Object Mode it pops up the following :

    if I do it in Edit Mode it looks fine but the added axis is not saved..

    edit

    now it's working, provided I do not change their number, axis can be adjusted

    please disregard my post, thanks

    @steverugi Hi, please excuse me, how do you accessed such menu (U Spacing, Number of U Grids, V Spacing, Number of V Grids) for editing the grids? I tried to access to it pressing F9 or checking on the object menu, but I could not find it. Thank you in advance.

    after added them the key F9 is only possible to use to modify grids (to some extent..) until you use a different command

    for later editing you need to deselect the box here:

    I personally find the grid thing in BBim a bit tricky, I usually set all needed linex when I use it the first time, I struggle to add or remove them at a later stage, there might be something I miss here..
