thats not going to work for me, I am not so enamored with the AI results when its changing things like the sharpness and fidelity of my carriage doors and suddenly bringing a cityscape into the background and changing my siding over my carriage doors to board and battn. etc. This ends up being a large liability for me..no AI I am trying to get a very accurate spec representation with a close up interior shot and want a practical implementation not a generated one. I am offering spec, it needs to be exacting. I have a very specific geometric tile I am trying to show in a sun study.

ive done this but I dont seem to be getting a night time look at the end. Ill try again

I know its possible to do a stationary time-lapse but I can't seem to figure out how to make this go from day to night?

So to be clear, I wanted to say I am not combatting your request, that is still valid, I am responding just to give you solutions in the meantime. My answer assumes you make a multitude of framing defaults for different beam setups or possibly one beam with variable input concrete cover you can already create just by creating your own definitions based on the wxhxd of your beam your variable or your beam type determines stirrup type, i.e., change the framing default to beam type 2 and it changes your stirrup type. (You would be doing the same thing with your request, some type of user input would be required) This should be as simple as creating beam type 1 in your framing defaults equal to Two Legged Stirrups, etc.

thanks for responding scott, it was, one of your team and i figured it out, it has to do with it having a tray ceiling, logged as a bug

I feel like this changed? My temp dims are going to ceiling structure not surface

So I guess I am missing what the request is since a beam will not and will likely never be BIM based in this software nor do I think it should be( too uch potential for liability). So I guess I am wondering, what is the request? Since with a macro you could create variable inputs for yourself so you plug in your engineering parameters and the beam could output based on those variable inputs using comments/manufacturer/code/ or custom_fields etc. ?

see previous post, we have framing member defaults, add your accessory component to your default so you don't have to keep repeating. what would be the criteria for determining the size of the rebar? can you just create a calculation for this based on the size of the beam? can't you calc this based on the beam size? can't you calc this based on the bame size ? this is just another macro in the components of the default beam member that sums qty So far this all seems doable

yes, in X17 we have framing member defaults which have an OIP. build your macros and place in the OIP or in components depending on what you are reporting to, schedule or material list. Regarding everything else, you have all the info that we have if you've managed to use the object properties macro in TMM, it's just a matter of working with the data thats there to come up with your script(s)
