CONNECT Edition Regular Updates
The CONNECT Editions of Bentley applications feature regular updates to the software on a scheduled basis, updates will contain new
features. Update 4 is the version at the time of this writing.
Bentley’s CONNECTION Client will notify users of available updates for installed applications. To find out new functionality check the What’s
New section of the Help and the Bentley Communities AECOsim Building Designer Announcements forum: https://communities.bentley.com/
products/building/building_analysis___design/f/aecosim-speedikon-announcements-forum.
The AECOsim Building Designer CONNECT Edition installer is a true “stub” installer. The installer always downloads the latest version of
AECOsim Building Designer installed components. This prevents much larger redundant downloads.
Exercise 01: The Unified Component Property Panel
The CONNECT Edition features a ‘unified’ component property panel. The nomenclature ‘unified’ refers to the fact that the architectural,
mechanical and structural disciplines now use the same interface for the component properties when placing and modifying components. This
is an intrinsic part of the CONNECT Edition interface and a change for previous version’s architectural interface.
1. Start AECOsim Building Designer CONNECT Edition and from the work page set:
Workspace: AECOsimExamples
Workset: Multi-Use_Retail_Building_US [Multi-Use_Retail_Building_NM]
2. Open the file A_Grocery.dgn.
3. From the Ribbon Interface > Architectural Tab, Place Architectural Elements group select the Wall tool.
The Unified Component Property Panel (Place Wall) dialog opens.
As we can see the Property Panel dialog provides a centralized interface to select, place,
and modify AECOsim Building Designer components.
The Property Panel adds many enhancements.The panel can be free-floating in the
interface or docked on the edge of the interface.
The following breaks down the interface of the Property Panel:
The Catalog Item Selector - Used to select catalog items for placement. Can be floated as
an independent dialog. Catalog items can be searched for by name or sorted by type or
alphabetically.
The Catalog Item Preview - A preview view shows a preview of the catalog item selected
and includes view controls. The preview can be hidden if desired.
Catalog Tools - Used to manage component catalogs during placement by opening

DataGroup System data tools/utilities, including tools for matching an existing catalog
item, saving changes to catalogs, adding new catalog items, and refreshing catalog data.
Properties List - Used to set catalog item parameters and properties prior to placement.
Properties can be searched for by name or sorted by category or alphabetically.
Modification tool - The Property Panel acts as the "Modify Instance Data" interface for
editing catalog item instances selected with the Modify Properties tool.
Search & Recently Used - The Catalog Item Selector and Properties list have a Search
function that lists results dynamically. The Properties list has a Recently Used category
that lists recently selected catalog items.
Customizable - The Property Panel's Property list can be customized by manipulating the
catalog type and item definitions via the Catalog Editor utility. You can set which
properties appear and in which order they are presented. You can create new user
defined components and user defined properties, and have them appear in the Property
Panel Properties list.
4. Investigate the various functions of the Property Panel.
a. Use the Catalog Item Selector list to select the item to place.
 Each tool will present the items relevant to that tool, try different tools from the
Place Architectural Elements ribbon group
b. Investigate the preview tool:
 Zoom in and out., Fit, Rotate and Display Mode
c. Scroll through the DataGroup properties for the item.
 For example, Wall Dimensions, Wall Parameters, etc. Modify some properties.
d. Try the Property Search functionality, for example type in Phase. The properties list
displays only the Construction Phase category with the Phase property.
e. Clear the search by selecting the X in the search field.

f. Note the list of properties can be sorted by category or alphabetically. Try each option.
Note that when sorted by category, categories can be collapsed and expanded in the
property list
5. On the Place tab on the ribbon there are placement options for the wall.
6. Place a wall somewhere in the model.
7. From the Ribbon Interface > Architectural Tab, Place Architectural Elements group, select
the Place Door tool.
a. In the preview window select the placement origin of the door.
b. Investigate the different catalog items and properties specific to the door component.
Note: The item preview will reflect any property value changes.
8. On the Place tab on the ribbon there is a Side Offset option for the door placement.
c. Place a few different doors in the previously placed wall.
9. With the Element Selection tool, hover over one of the previously placed items.
10. Right-press the mouse and select the Modify Door tool.
The Unified Component Property Panel opens and now presents itself as the Modify
Door dialog.
11. Modify some properties of the selected component in the Property Panel. Use the <tab>
and <enter> keys to accept the changes.
12. Data-point (left-click) in the model view to accept the changes.
Exercise 02: Advanced Functions of the Unified Component Property Panel
The Property Panel enhances the work flow when placing architectural elements, including a preview and search capabilities. Quick access to
the DataGroup Catalog editor is also a function of the Property Panel. In this exercise we’ll review some of this functionality.
1. From the Ribbon Interface > Architectural Tab, Place Architectural

Elements group select the Window tool.
2. Set the catalog item to *Example | Awning.

3. Select the drop-down list arrow from the split-button next to the catalog
Item list.
a. Select Reset to Defaults from the list.
The property values are set to the defaults defined in the Catalog Editor, the
preview will reflect any changes.
4. Modify the following properties:

Dimension | Frame Height: 5:0 [1500]
Dimension | Frame Depth Match Wall: ✔
Dimension | Frame Thickness: 0:2 [50]
5. Select the drop-down list arrow from the split-button next to the catalog
Item list.
a. Select Save Catalog Item. This saves the changes made above, so
that these are now the defaults for this catalog item.
6. Modify the following property:

Dimension | Frame Height: 6:0 [1800]
7. Select the drop-down list arrow from the split-button next to the catalog Item list.
b. Select Save Catalog Item As and save a new catalog item named *Example | Awning 4x6. There is now a new catalog item named
for the default size.
a. Select the Catalog Item Manager tool from the list.
The Catalog Item Manager dialog opens. The Catalog Item
Manager is used to add or remove Catalog Items supplied by
AECOsim Building Designer to and from an Organization
dataset or project WorkSet.
b. Open the Library Source and select

Windows_paz_wood.xml.
c. Select windows from the library on the left of the dialog
and using the arrow icon move them to the right.
The selected windows will be moved into the WorkSet. This

means these windows will only be available in the current
project WorkSet.
d. Select the same windows and use the arrow icon on

the right to move the windows into the WorkSpace.
The selected windows will be moved into the WorkSpace. This

means these windows will now be available in all project
WorkSets that fall under the current WorkSpace
e. Select OK.
f. Close the Catalog Editor.
9. Reselect the Window tool.
a. The wood Casement windows will now be available from the catalog item pull-down.
The Place Component Property Panel and the Modify Component Property Panel features many enhancements while maintaining the
functionality of the previous version’s DataGroup Instance Data dialog. And a benefit across the architectural, structural and mechanical
disciplines, is that the panel is unified, meaning placement and modification tools all use the same Property Panel, e.g., the door tool for
architectural, the column tool for structural, etc.
Exercise 03: The Placement Options and Modify Tools in the Ribbon Interface
With the advent of the ribbon interface, the placement options and modify tools are now available in the ribbon interface. When a placement
tool is selected, Wall, Door, Window, etc., the ribbon changes to display the Placement:Place options for that tool. In previous versions this
was found in the Tool Settings dialog box.
The ribbon interface also has a Modify tab, modification tools can be found here. This exercise will review this functionality.
1. From the Ribbon Interface > Architectural Tab, Place Architectural Elements group select the Wall tool.
2. The ribbon interface changes and now shows the Placement:Place tab, where there are placement options for the selected tool.
 Placement group: Place By: Line, Arc - By Center, Arc - By Edge, Curve, Grid, From Element, From Space and Left, Center and
Right Justify.
 Offsets group: Side Offset, Direction and Base Offset (this option is available when a floor is set in the floor manager).
 Placement Options: Offset Tilt, Close Wall, Auto Connect and Flip Wall.
3. Place a wall somewhere in the model.

4. From the Ribbon Interface > ArchitectrualTab, Place Architectural Elements group select the Railing tool.
Note the Placement:Place tab options are different, they are specific to the tool selected.
5. Place a rail somewhere in the model.
6. From the Ribbon Interface select the Modify tab.
The Modify tab features tools available for each discipline. The Modify Properties tool is a unified modify tool for components, modifying
a component with this tool opens the Property Panel acting as the Modify Property Panel.
7. Investigate the various tools available in the Modify group. Tools specific to architectural include:
a. Connect Walls / Trim Roof
b. Modify Wall / Adjust Top
c. Break Element / Join Element
d. Modify Hand / Modify Swing
e. Flip Railing / Add Railing Segment / Move Railing Segment / Insert Landing / Remove Landing
f. Insert Vertex
g. Delete Vertex
Note: The architectural modify tools are also available from the right-press context sensitive menu, as in previous versions of AECOsim
Building Designer. The right-press menu will show modification tool specific to the component selected.
Note: One enhancement in the CONNECT Edition is that the Break Element and Join Element tools are now a universal tool, meaning it
is the same tool across the architectural, mechanical and structural disciplines.
Here we see how the placement options and modify tools are organized in the ribbon interface, and with the modify tools, available in the
right-click context sensitive menu as well. Note that a feature of the ribbon interface is the Search Ribbon function on the upper right of the
ribbon. Tools names can be entered and the results will show where the tool is located (sometimes in multiple tabs) and can be launched from
the search results list.
Exercise 04: Enhancements to the Stair Tool
The ribbon interface also has a Modify tab, modification tools can be found here. This
exercise will review this functionality.
1. From the Ribbon Interface > Architectural Tab, Place Architectural Elements group select
the Stair tool.
2. Select the Match Element Properties icon, then select the existing stairs near the Lofts
entrance.
The Catalog Item should change to *Project | Open Riser in the Property Panel.
a. Select the Load Stair Settings tool from the list.
The Stair Construction Settings are used to set various attributes of the active stair
construction. Each dialog panel defines the common geometric settings that control basic
geometrical structure and placement configuration aspects. Settings that are grayed out are
not applicable to the selected stair type.
For a detailed explanation of each Stair Construction Setting see the Help documentation.

A new Curtain Wall tool allows you to place, modify and manipulate the new Place Curtain Wall element types, that include Curtain Wall,
Storefront, Ribbon Window, and Punched Opening. They can be placed as linear (by line), arcs, curved or along drawing elements, and can
be manipulated further to move, or copy selected mullions across panels and create a desired opening. This is a new tool and will be
enhanced in future updates.
This tool is used to place a curtain wall system made up of frames and panels. There are three new DataGroup types used, Curtain Wall |
Frame, Curtain Wall | Panel and Curtain Wall System. The legacy DataGroup type Curtain Wall is still available from the Object tool and still
works with parametric cells.
1. Start AECOsim Building Designer CONNECT Edition and from the work page set:

Modify Curtain Wall

Once placed, the curtain wall system can be easily modified. Curtain Wall elements can be selected as a whole assembly, and when the
mouse hovers on the mullion panel, it displays the edit (grip) handles. The default edit handles for an active panel count five; one at center and
four at sides. Each mullion panel is provided with a toolbar equipped with edit tools used to manipulate a curtain wall assembly. You can thus
easily add or remove the entire mullion after placing, or partially omit individual, vertical or horizontal mullions.
Delete – removes the selected mullion/panel boundary, thereby merges it with the
adjacent mullion panel.
Move – moves the selected mullion/panel to the data point defined on other segment of
curtain wall.
Copy – copies the selected mullion/panel to the data point at destination dividing the
mullion panels.
Toggle Visibility – makes the current mullion/panel of curtain wall invisible, effecting a
clear opening.
