Here is an abridged bullet point list for checking and cleaning items that may slow a file down and make basic operations (send/receive, reserve, update drawing, etc.) tedious. These lists include items for file organization and cleanliness, but may not focus specifically on file functionality. There are also tips on keeping your file clean located here, here, and here. The BIM Manual includes a self audit check list, as does this BIM Blog. This is done by coordinating post audit clean ups and performing regular checks on key file structures. The role of the job captain is to keep a file clean, organized, and functional. This entry was posted in Cadimage Door and Window, Find and Select, GDL, Level of Detail, Level of Precision and tagged Cadimage, Doors, Find and Select, gdl on Augby wwabim. If the door does need to swing past the the frame, as in this plan, we either need to accept and ignore the error report for these (not likely to cause any long term issues with the file), or script a custom door that will operate in this manner. The fix is to make this value 0 or positive. The find and select simply needs to include part or all of the unique ID shown in brackets in the error report.Īfter finding the doors with the errors from this criteria, we were able to surmise that the negative value is tied to a negative door pivot offset setting.

Since this is a macro, we do not get the element ID for the door, but we can track it down based on the Unique ID given. Since the error called is related to Parameters (“Non-positive parameter”), we can track it down based on possible 0 or negative values in a dimension, somewhere in the door settings. GSM indicates that this is an error related to a GDL based element, and we can guess that “leaf” is a door leaf, or a sub-part to the doors. We can decipher that this error is related to a Macro portion of 2 doors by the “Leaf.gsm”. In this example, the doors have an error. The error report pops up for invalid geometries, incorrect GDL parameters, and missing or corrupted attributes.
