Configuration Changes

In OpenBuildings Speedikon, installation options are available to define the locations of both the Delivered Configuration and a Custom Configuration.

The Custom Configuration is the recommended location for user WorkSpaces and WorkSets. To specify the path of the Custom Configuration, on the Configuration page, first select the Custom Configuration (plus Delivered Configuration) radio button and then set the path in the Custom Configuration field. This Custom Configuration path is written into the ConfigurationSetup.cfg file. WorkSpaces subsequently created in this location are displayed as Custom Configuration WorkSpaces in the Work Page. This configuration is defined by the _USTN_CUSTOM_CONFIGURATION configuration variable.

Note: It is highly recommended that you use the Custom Configuration for production work and not the Delivered Configuration. The Delivered Configuration primarily contains example data for your reference and training purposes. It may be updated in future releases.

OpenBuildings Speedikon 2023's installation directory and Configuration are in a different location than the previous version. In the default installation, you can work on two different configurations defined during OpenBuildings Speedikon CONNECT Edition and OpenBuildings Speedikon 2023 installation. In case you want to use the same directory please follow the description in the chapter side-by-side installation.

The Delivered Configuration directory is set to by default: ConfigurationDirectory=[CommonAppDataFolder]Bentley\OpenBuildings <product_version> and is controlled by _USTN_INSTALLED_CONFIGURATION stored in msdir.cfg.

IEZprj is now set to IEZprj=%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH% in the speedi.ini. By default, this is C:\Users\<user_name>.
