copy ceilling, walls to other project and computer parameter

  • Hello, coleagues, please explain to me - are here posibilieties to take all ceilling or floor walls with all beam, plates and store them to other project?
    I did a mistake walls were prepared in one version of project, ceilling did in other, because working with very big project 3 floors hotel (total area 926 m2) and my computers work in 100 percents capacity and of course I am get in a fuddle...
    Second question what would be solution to have very strong/high-capacity computer and what must be all its parameters?
    In this moment I am working with two computers:
    old one windows XP home edition Service pack 3, 32 bit, processor Intel Pentium (R) 4CPU 280 GHZ, RAM 2,80 GHz, 2,75 GB;
    new - Windows 7 Profesional Service Pack 1, 64 bit, processor INTEL (R) Core (TM) i5-2435M 2,40 GHz, RAM 8 GB.
    But one way with both of them to work with so big projects are very hard.

    There is a possibility with an optional function. This is a building library which allows to save floors of a building and import them in another building.


    The new computer is very good. The biggest problem will be the available memory. As our program still is a 32 bit program it will get just about 2GB from the operating system. So 8GB are enough.

    Hi Vilmantas,


    in newer versions, I have a function named "building library". I don't know, whether it is already available in v6?
    My idea would be, to devide your building into 3 positions: walls and ceiling for each floor, so you have 3 buildings, which you can build separately, and join them together when they are finished. If they are still too big, I would look for a good cutting place, and make 6 positions.


    In v6 it should already be possible to export activated beams with dicam 1-1-6 and import these beams with 1-1-7. Notice, that it is not possible to export/import walls and ceilings, but only beams. Probably after import, you have to change building MOS. I know, this feature is available in v7, which is the oldest on my pc.

    If I remember correctly we had this function since version 7, in version 6 it was planned but could not realize it. In all cases this is an optional function and not available for everybody.
