Problem

How can I drop a Bspline Curve into simpler geometry such as polygons, lines, arcs, etc.?
This is not possible with the regular Drop Element tool 

Solution

To drop a Bspline Curve, you must use the Facet Curve tool.

In MicroStation CONNECT Edition the tool is locates here (Drawing Workflow>Curves Tab>Curve Utilities Ribbon Group>Facet)


Using this tool, Bspline Curves can be dropped to Line Strings, Lines, Stream Curves, Arcs, and Points.

In MicroStation V8i the tool can be found from Tools>Curves>Curve Utilities>Facet Curve.


***TIP: When you have the Facet Curve tool active, click F1 on keyboard, and you get MicroStation Help opened for the help of that specific tool.***
