[esp-r] Re: gbxml import

[Jon Hand]

I had a look and found a session capture related to gbxml.  I have
yet to find the original gbxml file but the main command line
is:

jon at mae-esru-jon:/tmp$ ecnv -v -if gbxml -in /tmp/HAUS_PR.gbxml -of esp -out /tmp/HAUS
Starting ecnv in esp mode with in file /tmp/HAUS_PR.gbxml
and output file /tmp/HAUS.

The -v tells it to chatter verbosely as it parses the gbxml file.

So the gbxml file was, in this case in /tmp and the result would
be placed in the folder /tmp/HAUS.  I need to search a bit to see
if /tmp/HAUS was already created, and if so what was in it
prior to invoking the ecvn utility.

My recollection was that this session needed very little in the
way of cleaning up. It tended to place doors at corners of
rooms and the parent surface needed a few tweaks.

I do recall that some gbxml files work better than others. Some
CAD tools will happily create a gbxml for a single surface facade
with scores of window inserts and ESP-r can't cope with that.

I will do a bit more searching around for examples.  -Jon Hand

Subject: [esp-r] gbxml import

Dear all,

I have been trying to import a gbxml-file without any success so far. Is
there any documentation, possibly with one of the public xml examples,
demonstrating the import? This could be either through prj or ecnv, but
should include information on the starting conditions (should one first
initialise a model in prj, or rather generate the entire project with
the import) and paths from which commands are started.

Best & have a nice week-end,

Lars.
