Forum Post: RE: Distribution order acknowledged and returned items by different user
Thanks Julie - Hope you are doing well too Transmittal in a way is a document and believe because of modify permission, user is able to access and accept the transmittal. If you want you can test the same and remove all other permission and keep the view permission on the same document and ask user to try to modify the same transmittal. Is user is still able to modify or work on that transmittal, then we have to look into user profile and Transmittals separately. Thanks, Manav

Forum Post: Matching generic 3D equipment created by "custom component" feature with 2D equipment from attached pid doesn't work
OpenPlant provides a feature to create OpenPLAnt items from aany possible 3D geometry. and it des allow to browse fro existing tags /items in an attached i.dgn file in order to link the 3D with the 2D. That works so far for a couple of classes but as I have created a "Generic equipment", I was expecting to be able to select every equipment present in the i.dgn to link it t the 3D item. But, once hitting the "browse" button OpenPlant returns there was no matching class found ... I would like to know where and how it can be configured which 3D classes can match which 2D classes in order to browse for them and link them in 2D / 3D workflows ?

Wiki Page: RAM SBeam V7.00 Release Notes
RAM SBeam CONNECT Edition V7.00.00 Release Notes Expected Release Date: Coming Soon This document contains important information regarding RAM SBeam. It is important that all users are aware of this information. Please distribute these release notes and make them available to all users of RAM SBeam. Important License Information: RAM SBeam is licensed through a quarterly Visa, rather than a perpetual license. It will be licensed to individual users rather than a pooled license. If you are using RAM Structural System but without an SBeam Visa, be aware that support for RAM SBeam v6.0 will end [date is currently unknown] . This means that you will no longer be able to access RAM SBeam after that date . To avoid disruption, and to access the enhancements of RAM SBeam v7.0, obtain the SBeam Visa and then upgrade to RAM SBeam v7.0. For information please log a request at: https://www.bentley.com/en/about-us/contact-us/sales-contact-request . Bentley CONNECT: As a CONNECT Edition, RAM SBeam CONNECT Edition v7.00 includes several powerful features common to other Bentley CONNECT Edition programs: CONNECTION Center When you sign in to your Bentley account you now have easy access to CONNECTION Center. This personalized portal gives you easy access to Usage reports, site configuration information, downloads, and Learning information on webinars, seminars and events, and includes a transcript listing the Bentley courses that you have completed. Your personal portal also lists your recent projects with a portal into analytics on that project. CONNECTION Center can be accessed by selecting the Sign In command in the upper right corner of the RAM SBeam screen. If you do not already have a Bentley ID, go to http://www.bentley.com/profile and select the Sign Up Now link. CONNECTED Projects All of Bentley’s CONNECT Edition programs, including RAM SBeam, allow models to be associated with a project. Multiple models, from any of the Bentley products, can be associated with a given project. This simplifies the process of keeping track of work done for a project, and will enable analytics to be performed and reported for the project. A ProjectWise Projects portal enables you and your project teams to see project details required to evaluate team activity and understand project performance. View project activity by site, application and user Gain insights into the users who are working on your projects and their effort Register and manage your CONNECTED Projects Access ProjectWise Connection Services including ProjectWise Project Sharing, ProjectWise Project Performance Dashboards and ProjectWise Issue Resolution AdministrationWhen a model is Saved in this version the program will ask for a Project to which the file is to be associated. Projects can be registered (created) from your Personal Portal, or from the Assign Project dialog by selecting the + Register Project command. Project Share and i-models When a model is saved, a Bentley i-model is now created for viewing on mobile devices in products such as Bentley Structural Navigator. These i-models can be uploaded to Project Share, one of the Bentley Cloud Services. New Features and Enhancements: RAM SBeam V7.00.00 contains some powerful enhancements: AISC 360-16 The requirements of AISC 360-16, “ Specification for Structural Steel Buildings” , as found in the AISC Steel Construction Manual , 15 th Edition, have been implemented. This includes the new requirement for composite beam design to consider stud ductility. CAN/CSA S16-14 The requirements of Canada CAN/CSA S16-14, “ Design of Steel Structures” , have been implemented. IS 800-07 The requirements of India IS 800-07 WSD and LSD have been implemented. The requirements of IS 800 are new to RAM SBeam. Stud Criteria The Stud Criteria have been enhanced. Minimum percent composite action can now be specified for long spans versus short spans. There is now an option to specify a maximum stud spacing of “Rib Spacing” when the deck is not parallel to the beam; this provides a means of specifying that studs be placed in every rib. There is an option to enforce the AISC 360-16 Commentary method of satisfying the new Stud Ductility requirements; for beams greater than 30 ft long this will result in either a minimum percent composite action of 50% or else a stud spacing of no more than 12” oc. Note that this is a new Specification requirement in AISC 360-16, but this option is recommended when designing to any AISC specification. Error Corrections: Some errors in previous versions have been corrected in v7.00. The more significant errors are listed here. The error only occurred for the precise conditions indicated. Errors that may have resulted in un-conservative designs are shown with an asterisk. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. CSA/CAN S16-09 HSS SHEAR CAPACITY*: The shear capacity for a Rectangular HSS was incorrect. Effect: In calculating the shear capacity of a Rectangular HSS, the depth of the shear plane should have been reduced by 4 times the thickness of the web rather than 2 times the web thickness. A less conservative shear capacity was reported. For designs governed by shear, a member may have passed the shear check when it should have been failed. CAN/CSA S16-09 CLASS 4 HSS: The flexural capacity calculated for Class 4 HSS sections designed according to CAN S16-09 was incorrect Effect: The design and reported flexural capacity for Class 4 HSS was incorrect. The reported capacity was conservative. Designs which should have otherwise passed, may have been reported as failed. MAX STUD SPACING WARNING: If the rib spacing is greater than the user-specified Maximum Stud Spacing (such as can occur when the deck is skewed), a message is correctly given that the Max Stud Spacing exceeds the Rib Spacing, but no warning was given to indicate that the maximum spacing wasn't satisfied (because of that). The additional warning is now given, that the stud spacing exceeds the Maximum Stud Spacing. Effect: In that case the design was correct except that it did not satisfy the user-specified Maximum Stud Spacing. There was a stud in every rib, but the ribs were spaced too far apart to satisfy the criteria. C-BEAM CAMBER: When C-Beams (formerly called SMARTBEAMS) are optimized, the design gives an acceptable range of Spacing or Diameter (for Cellular) and a range of Phi (for Castellated). This means that there is a corresponding range of member depths and section properties, and as a result, a range of deflection values. The program reported camber consistent with the worst strength interaction rather than the worst deflection encountered. Effect: Report error only. The reported camber may have been inconsistent with the reported components of the worst deflection encountered. The reported camber was correct for the hole configuration associated with the worst strength interaction value, but was not necessarily correct for the hole configuration that caused the greatest deflection. The impact on camber was very small.

Forum Post: RE: Any way to keep a PW connection active after PowerShell close to be used by another script?
you can't use single sign-on to automate the user's login? is all you're using Powershell for is to checkout/checkin files? You can do that with projectwise explorer command lines as well and don't need to go through the hoops of enabling powershell on user's computers. https://docs.bentley.com/LiveContent/web/ProjectWise%20Explorer%20Help-v8/en/GUID-9ED74992-DBA5-4553-A969-A83357B46C99.html see the -c option for pwc.exe. (it also requires a login so this may not be saving you anything if you can't use single sign-on)

Forum Post: RE: Seismic Deformation Compatibility Design
Our approach is that the gravity columns are assumed pinned and they lean upon the lateral frames so the lateral frames are designed for the full P-Delta effect of the entire set of gravity loads. For gravity concrete members we do implement ACI 318 21.11. 8.29 ASCE 7 Stability Coefficients The ASCE 7 Stability Coefficients report list calculated stability coefficients according to Eq. 12.8-16 in ASCE 7-05, ASCE 7-10, and ASCE 7-16. These coefficients are only reported for ASCE 7 seismic load cases. Note that gravity load cases must be also analyzed in order to calculate the stability coefficients. The report contains two sections for each seismic load case analyzed: the first section reports diaphragm shears, drifts and vertical loads; the second section shows calculated stability coefficients and also it reports max. permitted limits according to ASCE 7-05, ASCE 7-10, and ASCE 7-16. Note that calculated vertical loads include dead, live, roof and snow loads (live loads are reduced with live load reduction factors).

Forum Post: SELECTserver Sunset Date
Got this in an email from Bentley today. I haven't seen any mention of it on the Communities, so here it is... "After two decades of service, SELECTserver will be retired on December 31, 2020 for both hosted and deployed licensing. It has become increasingly difficult for us to maintain SELECTserver, to ensure its security and reliability, and to deliver enhancements and capabilities expected for modern application and cloud-based software. Once SELECTserver is retired, application pooling will be continued and improved through CONNECT Licensing for all V8i SS10 or CONNECT Edition applications. CONNECT Licensing is being used successfully by over 50% of Bentley user organizations to manage their application licenses, has proven to be robust and reliable, and includes the enhancements and improvements Bentley users have long requested for their licensing administration. If you are using older applications and wish to avoid reverting to node-locked licenses at the end of 2020, please begin formulating your plans immediately to move to V8i SS10 or CONNECT Edition applications and to adopt CONNECT Licensing. We recognize that an application upgrade will require planning and time, and therefore we are adjusting our current Support Policy to support and accommodate your transition. Our Support Policy, effective today, is revised as follows: Expiring Support for V8i SS10 applications, which had been scheduled to begin January 1, 2020, will be deferred for one year to begin on January 1, 2021. Support for V8i SS10 will be discontinued on December 31, 2021. Expiring Support for V8i application versions (other than V8i SS10), which had been scheduled to end on December 31, 2019, will now be extended until June 30, 2020. For accounts using older V8i versions who have substantially progressed in their migration to either V8i SS10 or CONNECT Edition by July 1, 2020, an extension of Expiring Support may be granted until December 31, 2020. We are making these changes to provide accounts using older V8i versions additional time to plan and implement your migration to either V8i SS10 or the CONNECT Edition, and to help you avoid any disruption to your pooled licensing. Please remember that your Bentley Account Manager and members of our Success Force stand ready to help you." The first sentence of the email is the most important line of the entire email, you have one year to get off of your old software before it stops working completely. There are a few DOT's I know still using InRoads SS2 that are going to have a hard time upgrading by this deadline. This is especially true for organizations who already have set budgets for next year that don't include completing the upgrade.

Forum Post: RE: Call out Not Creating Saved View or Drawing in Sheet Model
Hi Henry, I referenced in a 3D model but had to move it into place since the GO in the Sheet file was shifted. After doing so I was able to place a new section callout in the sheet and generate a new external drawing from that. However, I also noticed that the Sheet model has a solids resolution 100X less than our delivered seed files - the Solids Working Area is 429 km vs. 4.29 km. This may also be a factor if your files are using the same resolution across the board. Can you check?
