Open view in host software - not openign

Hey community,

Does any one use the open view in current software feature? I came across this today, seem to be similar to the bcf exchange, which is super cool! BUT when I tried it, nothing happened.

Do I need to do anything for this feature to work?
(btw, I think there is a spelling mistake on the tool tip popup - “curren”

Many thanks

Hi Chris,

It looks like you found a bug! We’re in the process of developing a new version of our connectors (we call them v3 or next-gen), we’ll make sure to take this into account there.

By the way, do you use BCF? Would you like a similar feature inside Speckle?

Hey @teocomi cool! this looks like it could be a great feature, looking forward to trying it out. Anything that takes a user closer to the origin of an issue is always going to be good!

Regarding bcf, I’ve used is a couple times (Bimcollab) but I think the workflows/integration was not yet mature, wasn’t working so well. I think the principle idea is really good - A structured way to organise and distribute the comment queries, that are sync in the native author environment. The Speckle open view function is partially the way there, just need some cool organisation features!
