They should all be in MGA 1999, Zone 56 (Australian projection).</p> <p>When I attach the 3MX by itself the model sits where it should in georeferenced space. I&#39;ve checked the extents and a bunch of features within the site and they are correct.</p> <p>When I import the shapefiles and the DGN containing the 3D solids, they also site in the correct space. I&#39;ve checked the coordinates of the objects and they are correct.</p> <p>When I attach the 3MX and import the shapefiles and 3D solids together, the shapefiles and the DGN shift by a huge amount and nothing lines up. When I go back and check the coordinates of the shapefiles and 3D objects they appear to have shifted by&nbsp;10&#39;s or 100&#39;s of thousands of metres.</p> <p>If I import the shapefiles and 3D objects with an attached 3SM, generated from the exact same project, everything lines up. Does anyone know what could be going wrong here?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>How to view 3D vertical sections from exactly side onhttps://communities.bentley.com/products/microstation/f/microstation-forum/229985/how-to-view-3d-vertical-sections-from-exactly-side-onTue, 17 May 2022 22:14:48 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:eccd8dd9-5f17-4057-bcae-9dcabd6ec085David Field<p>Bit of a strange one: I have some 3D polylines created by cutting vertical sections through a topography mesh. When I open them in Microstation (or any other modelling or drafting package) they appear in top-down view, and look like a single straight line. If I rotate them or select a preset front / side view the detail in the section appears. However as the sections are orientated in a number of different angle (when viewed in plan), none of the preset view buttons (front, back, left, right) allow for the section to be viewed from the side, exactly side-on. <br />My question is: does anyone know of a way I can repeatably orientate my view so that I am looking at these different sections from exactly side-on?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>Ask A Question Ihttps://communities.bentley.com/achievements/460ac7df-7ccc-4c42-a204-9e05eef3be09Mon, 26 Jul 2021 01:01:49 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:b67dda46-ac79-473d-b088-f1fb160f8601Ask a question in a forum.
