[Connect] - Mesh Project

salvatore montella — Tue, 21 Jul 2020 13:18:45 GMT

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with the Mesh functionality:
By applying the procedure to a Shape that does not have concave angles, the split of the shape according to the defined division lines is correct as in the figure ShapeSplittedOK.JPG.

If instead I try to apply the same procedure to a Shape that has concave angles the result is somewhat strange, that is, the Shape is not split only on the basis of the dividing lines but dividing lines appear, ranging from the vertex of the concave angle to the nearest corner, dividing in this way the original shape in N additional triangles as in the figure ShapeSplittedKO.JPG

The procedure I follow is as follows:
- I select the shape with Element Selection
- KeyIn -> FACET CREATE
- Double click on a vertex of the shape
- KeyIn -> place line
- I apply the dividing line between two points of the shape perimeter (only one line)
- I select the shape with Element Selection
- KeyIn -> FACET PROJECT
- Double click on a vertex of the shape
- KeyIn -> DROP ELEMENT
- I select the shape with Element Selection

The settings of the FACET CREATE, FACET PROJECT and DROP ELEMENT are shown in the attached screenshots

Has anyone already faced this type of situation?

Thanks for help,

[Connect] - GroupeHoles

salvatore montella — Mon, 20 Jul 2020 13:36:18 GMT

Hi everyone,
I report a request that was made to me:
In Microstation Connect it's possible create a plane figure (Shape, ComplexShape), using the GroupedHoles function, where the resulting plane figure is presented with a "hole" inside it, but without using multiple elements (eg shape with another shape inside) so that Microstation sees it as the unique Shape or ComplexShape element?

best regards,

[Microstation Connect Edition] Problems with "Saved Batch Conversion Job from the System Command Line"

salvatore montella — Tue, 18 Feb 2020 11:29:27 GMT

Hello,
I created a batch convert job file,which merges between a file and its references.
Using it from the Micorstation environment it works correctly, if instead I try to use a Run a Saved Batch Conversion Job from the System Command Line
"msbatch batchconvert C:\Users\montella\Desktop\BCNV\CONVERT_TO_3D_MERGE_TEMPLATE_CE.BCNV"
it doesn't work, nothing happens.

If I try to do the same thing in V8i it works ...

Can someone help me ?

Thanks for help
