Please note, the use of a dedicated Attributes file is not an option or choice to be used (or not) by each team. This is especially critical where projects get so large they require multiple building files, or even multiple site files which is becoming increasingly commonplace. But the results are a lot less headache on the back end when publishing BIMx, or linking Views from a Site File to the Layout Book of the Buildings File. This does mean a little more management up front, and involves a couple extra steps in managing the project. All attributes (Fills, Line Types, Composites, Custom Profiles, and especially Surfaces) will be generated in this central Attributes teamwork file, then using the Attribute Manager will be matched to all other files for that project on the BIM Server. To prevent these errors we have introduced an Attributes file into our workflow for each multi-file project. If attribute #10 doesn’t exist in the site file, the stone will show as a purple & black checkered pattern, indicating the surface is missing.

mod and placed to the site, all stone will switch to wood. For example, if your building file has attribute #10 as a stone, but the site file has attribute #10 as a wood, the buildings file will show correctly as stone, but when the building is saved to a. It is important to note, the attribute number is how attributes are assigned to elements.
Surfaces of a module may show incorrectly, or be missing, custom profile beams/columns/walls can become reassigned to a new shape, and composites can switch to a different width if not properly matched. If attribute numbers do not match from a building file to a site file, or between multiple building files of a single project, the Hotlink Modules will not appear correct. Multiple Files & Attribute MatchingĪttribute management between files for a single project is critical. This entry was posted in Rendering, Twinmotion and tagged Rendering, Twinmotion on by wwabim. This freeze up issue is indicated by limited menu access and navigation control. If you have no mouse or keyboard response and can not switch apps or navigate basic menus in Twinmotion, that is another issue all together. Once again, this is not a “computer freeze up” or even an application bug. To fix the problem, just drag the TM application to the side or expose the color picker palette and close.
The Color picker palette can become hidden behind the TM application window if you click on the model before closing the color picker. The issue was related to adjusting surface color. I was working on a TM rendering yesterday and most of the functions and navigation seemed to be frozen. I know this has come up in the TM lunch and learns we have done at least once, and Matt explained it to me in person, but until I actually experienced it, the “freeze up” didn’t really make sense.
