Cells not filled in iDPR.

Hi Jan,

I may have to test this but before could you please verify if the seed file specified during the iDPR conversion has the Fill attribute enabled. Open the seed file in MicroStation to check this.

Hi Martin,

thanks for your reaction. I solved the problem yesterady, just had not enough time to post it here.

The problem was a cell type defined for this XFM feature was set to standard, but it has to be set to shared (cell). Later I found it in known issues list: Standard cell are dropped to elements, shared cells are converted as cells.

Consequently it means we will have to maintain two separate XFM schemas: One for main project (shared cells are not allowed) and another for GWP and idpr files. Don't like it, but seems it the only way. I have to admit I am curious if there will be some release in future, that maybe will not support many different source formats, but will ensure full functionality similar to XFM for spatial DB without tens of conditions and exceptions :-(

With regards,

Jan
