The idea is fantastic, yet I&amp;#39;ve a suggestion for improvement. (I&amp;#39;m doing so here because I&amp;#39;m not testing over latest beta and while I&amp;#39;ve been invited to the beta discusion forum I think its more fair to expose here just in case its already iplemented (doubt)).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For &lt;strong&gt;SELF ATTACHMENTS&lt;/strong&gt;, when you choose &amp;quot;merge to cell&amp;quot;, when you open elsewhere,&amp;nbsp; the reference data is under a hyerarchy node that hast the name of the .dgn. That would be ok if it was an EXTERNAL reference, but since it is a SELF ATTACHMENT, the name of the dgn as root of hyerarchy provides no proper info of the data contained in under that node, it should be the &lt;strong&gt;MODEL NAME&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;as root node name instead of .dgn name.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A messy workaround (requires unloading current cell lib or using cell selector) for this situation is to attach the&amp;nbsp; design model as Cell, in that case the naming is properly set based on the description:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Image:&amp;nbsp; original .dgn name is &amp;quot;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;329_showa_shell_3D&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;quot;, by opening &amp;quot;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;329.showa_(...)_aligned.dwg&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; which contains self attachment of other motherl in same .ccgn, when opened in another 3d package&amp;nbsp; you can see the same model data under two different yerarchy nodes names, the one OK is the &amp;quot;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(...)_main_sign)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;quot;,&amp;nbsp; naming comes from the model places as cell.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hello.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I had been some years without doing much Microstation until recently where I had to go back again full gas into it. This report is written on Select Series and some stuff may have been fixed on the Connect. Yet, the time I tested on connect several things where still glitched.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This time I&amp;#39;ve been doing mostly 3d mesh modelling, so I may have forgotten other issues not so tied to this topic.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;CELLS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;***When creating a cell, the original entities in design space do not become the created cell, the cell is just generated in library, how annoying is that!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;***SUPER IMPORTANT ---&amp;gt; Cells can not be edited in context!! This is incredibly annoying and limiting, should be editdable as when &amp;quot;activate&amp;quot; and external ref. This was and it is the major drawback from AutoCad I found when migrated. Basically the only 2 things MS is worse than ACAD are in place cell editing and paper space preparation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;***3dcell placement is very raw, should be so that up axis is always up and not allways placed as top view despite the view could be in not top view.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;***If you update a 3d cell that contains meshes that have been mirrored, the normals are flipped and the color itself is darker, in short feels messed up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;***If you update a cell globally, if cell is part of a group, it does not update.(!!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;***If you update a cell globally during a display set, all the cells make into the display set.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;***&lt;/span&gt;renamed cells can not be updated globally, replace is needed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;***&lt;/span&gt;editing cells in the .cel archive is a nightmare, microstation becomes extremelly slopy. EDIT: unconfirmed but I think its slopy only when &amp;quot;open for editing&amp;quot;, if you open .cel directly seems to work ok!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;***Nested cells are managed in an ankward fashion. Lets say cell_B is an small cell containing a 3d nut. If we place severall cell_B and pack everythin in a new cell named cell_A. WHen opening for editing Cell_A, all cell_B instances are not shown as a cell but as the object type they&amp;#39;re, like a 3d mesh, its not just htat but they can&amp;acute;t be moved nor deleted. If back into the original design if we place cell_A and we drop it, then yes the nuts are represented as cell_B. When editing cell_A, cell_B instances should be kept as cells, and should be editable, wether moveable or delete-able.&lt;br /&gt;In addition, when editing cell_A if whe self attach the cell library and we do insert cell_B nuts ino the design space, they&amp;#39;re kept as cell entities, even in future edits of the .cel file, allowing for moving the nested cell aswell as deleting, which should be the behaviour in any case.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;EDIT: I just noticed that the nested cells are treated as attachments on .cel file. ok now I can move or delete theese. :D Still its a bit rigid as compared to moving rotating a regular/cell&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;3D view navigation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***rotate about/center view on selected element without having to manually set rotation point, other programs do this on a simple key press&lt;br /&gt;***There is no proper WASD mouse fly trought / inspection, we&amp;#39;re in 2020!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;***Rotate around gizmo is bugged when &amp;quot;activate&amp;quot; on reference. This defeats all the good of activating a 3d reference. You can not modify the rotation gizmo. Also if you zoom out it kind of goes nowhere and content is lost. --&amp;gt; briefly you barely can edit an activated 3d reference. This is extremelly annoying.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;"&gt;update--&amp;gt;suprisingly, when dealing with self attachments like attaching another model from the same file, the gizmo can be moved without issues, properly snapping to active reference geometry&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;3D modelling&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***surface by extrusion along will not work if path is on an external reference even if &amp;quot;keep path&amp;quot; is checked&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;***&lt;/span&gt;&amp;quot;solid by thicken surface&amp;quot; should require an snap point to do the extrusion when &amp;quot;thickness&amp;quot; is not set beforehand, this is because without snap point ressults are not accurate unless you lock to an acudraw axe. the similar &amp;quot;surface by extrusion&amp;quot; does it right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;***&lt;/span&gt;&amp;quot;solid by thicken surface&amp;quot; has no option to place created element into active layer/properties&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;***no material assign to selected faces&lt;br /&gt;***no detach selected faces (added later on Connect I believe, but with poor face selection tools)&lt;br /&gt;***&amp;quot;facet smoothing&amp;quot; should be aplicable also to only a selected set of faces&lt;br /&gt;***no backfacecull view mode (really needed for realtime exports)&lt;br /&gt;***acudraw 3d rotations--&amp;gt; you can not lock a plane for 3d rotations and get a virtual reference point as target without the lock plane unlocking. Forces to create auxiliary geometry. I believe this has to be a bug since virtual lines are rendered during rotation process.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;***if 2 meshes of different wire color are merged, each color is kept and level color is ignored even if forced to override by manually set color by level.&lt;br /&gt;if this is to be considered to somehow be a &amp;quot;feature&amp;quot; it should be exploitable as with detach by wire color or similar.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;***no selection at vertex level for more than one vertex. If drag tool is meant to do so, drag tool is a complete mess. Something similar to &amp;quot;editmesh&amp;quot;editpoly&amp;quot; from 3dmax is needed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;***intersection snap is needed, computing intersection as a tool itself for extending a line till a surface is an overkill. the trick I do is that if surface is aligned with any predefined view I switch to it and snaps do work but usually that is not the case&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;***no uv map editor--&amp;gt; basic editor should be, basic uvmapping projections flatten, box mapping, relax etc, packing...(considering how many other things need to be fixed this fall into nice to have category)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;CONNECT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***Its annoying that task hotkeys do change between Descartes v8i etc. for instance measure D1, M1, F1...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;***UI takes more vertical space even with ribbon minimized, everything feels bulkier.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;***Allow to COMPLETELLY HIDE ribbon and enable menu like in V8i please please please. and keep the tasks.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;***Snap icons looks absolutelly horrible, WTH is that, Microstation for DOS?!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;MISC&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;***PDF is allowed to attach as &amp;quot;reference&amp;quot; but they won&amp;acute;t be displayed. They need to be attached as raster vector or img.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***dropping cell in display set removes elements from display set, and does not leave them selected so you can bring them back with &amp;quot;add&amp;quot; command,&lt;br /&gt;in a similar fashion droping a group removes elements from display set, at least theese are left selected and can be brought back, yet...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339966;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;above feature has been added in Connect, tested in update 14&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;***with several isolated linestrings, when dropping any, makes it dissapear from the displayset.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99cc00;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;above feature has been added in Connect, tested in update 14&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;***uniformity on attached file rewiring:&lt;br /&gt;Raster---&amp;gt;right click--&amp;gt;file name--&amp;gt;Click on Magnifying icon&lt;br /&gt;Attachment--&amp;gt;double click---&amp;gt;Click on &amp;quot;Browse&amp;quot;but (this is the good way as its faster)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;***Rotate--&amp;gt;Method--&amp;gt;Active Angle, when doing this operation in 3D the axis of reference is the last one used with the accudraw. Tool should allow to modify this on the fly. &amp;quot;rotate reference&amp;quot; has X Y Z inputs, it could be a good way to implement, also rotate and rotate reference could be same method as having to run the rotate method form the &amp;quot;reference manager&amp;quot; its not the most convenient thing. You could lock attachment transformations with a property to avoid accidental transforms. Pretty much what raster attachment already allow.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;***In the reference manager, a self attachment of a different model than current, if model space changes name it does not update in the reference manager, at least not in the same session, have not checked on restart. There should be a callback and should auto update.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;***If model space name is changed from a model that has not it referenced, once going to a model with that namechanged model space reference, the reference is broken. This should not be name based but internally with autoid tied.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;***Reference manager shows XYZ offsets for position but only one Rotation value, why not XYZ rotation? same option should be for scale.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;***In an reference that has nested references. If you enable the root reference for editing from another drawing where it is attached, it does not allow to move/transform the nested references.&lt;br /&gt;Example I&amp;#39;ve a 3d composition of a bridge, composition is made out of attachment of other files. If I attach the composition of the bridge I can not move the parts from the drawing I&amp;#39;m attaching the bridge composition even if I &amp;quot;activate&amp;quot; the composition reference.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99cc00;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;above feature has been added in Connect, tested in update 14&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;***Selected reference in model space is not highlighted as selection in the Reference Manager. unlike happens with rasters.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;***It would be usefull if without being in a displayset we could hide the selected objects as if in displayset with&amp;nbsp;--Dispplayset--&amp;gt;Remove -- the remove event would create a displayset itself with the rest of the active elements, should be easy to implement and would be very handy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;** from the past experiences, paper space windows setup is a nightmare, its one of the few things Autocad does it better. Please implement like Autocad or at least give option to be like in there. A hole that its a windows to design space, rather than attaching whole design space and clipping.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;***pasting a picture from the clipboard when pasting its pasted in a horrible quality, 8 bit 1980 like quality&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I hope this helps to improve the tool, tbh I&amp;#39;ve lost connection with this software since connect due to the wall built because of the radical UI swap. The only that allowed me to test it properly was enablitn the task and the searchbox that allow me to search the tools, lucky I know them all by name. NEw ui leave little room for exploring tools, its too rigid, aka &amp;quot;smart&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>May i convert PDF document of P&amp;amp;IDs into the Microstation format</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/products/microstation/f/microstation-forum/186766/may-i-convert-pdf-document-of-p-ids-into-the-microstation-format</link><pubDate>Thu, 10 Oct 2019 09:56:41 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:209fa59b-ad3f-4313-a55f-3fc908c10d72</guid><dc:creator>Sachin Kumar</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I have PDF copy of Markup P&amp;amp;IDs which contains a lot of information in terms of Metallurgy mapping and many data added into the PDF files.

&lt;p&gt;The Facet Curve tool is inadequate. &amp;nbsp;There doesn&amp;#39;t seem to be a way to have the degree of curvature be the factor which sets the line segment length. &amp;nbsp;For example, say I have 50 arcs, all with a radius of 100 ft, which vary in length from 10 ft long to 500 ft long. &amp;nbsp;It is inefficient treat these 50 variable length arcs one at a time using the Facet Curve tool and manually selecting the number of segments every time. &amp;nbsp;If you try to do them all at once, at maybe a number of 100, your 500 ft long arcs would work out well resulting in 5 ft long line segments, but your 10 ft long arcs would be ridiculous with a new line every 0.1 ft.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I thought maybe there was an answer in dropping the linestyle, but in order to do that the line would have to have breaks instead of being continuous. &amp;nbsp;I tried converting to a dashed line, then dropping the linestyle. &amp;nbsp;But when I tried to reconnect all the line segments, I could not find an efficient way to do that either. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

We have seen the capability of MicroStation V8 to export vector data to Google earth Kml/Kmz files. We have also explored&amp;nbsp;an option to import Image from Google earth. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;I would like to know if there is an import option available to seamless bring in the vector &lt;em&gt;(KML) layers from google earth directly into Microstation/Bentley map&lt;/em&gt; environment.&lt;/strong&gt; 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;This functionality would definitely complete the worflow lifecycle in an Integrated&amp;nbsp;Mapping-Google Earth Environment.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m facing an isue to which I find no workarround. I need to extend multiple lines a given value and from both sides.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The extend line tool operates only with individual elements and extends the line only on the side the user defines with the click of the mouse.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;_____________&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Why do I need this?.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;m increasing the resolution of a 3D urban model that is meshed based on 3D breaklines whitch are too faceted.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My plan to increase the smoothness is to convert them to splines and then back to line strings. Till here great but, I&amp;#39;ve all the meshes already classified and I dont whant to lose this info so i&amp;#39;ll be passing these to centroids and then back to the new meshes. So, I need the new meshes to match the older ones.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To do so, I&amp;#39;m using some lines that limit the the 3D models whitch are mostly road surfaces or walkways, these lines where used in teh original shape creation. But when changing the breaklines, these line no longer enclose an area as small gap appears bethen these and the smoothed lines, and as &amp;quot;create shapes&amp;quot; tool in Map has no tolerance there is no margin of error. So I would need to extend these in both sides, for later on, Segment the linework, Delete the dangles and at this point have it ready to creathe shapes,&amp;nbsp; and transfer to these new high res shapes the properties stored in the previous centroids.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-----------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Any ideas????&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;m afraid that VBA is the only way to go as I found that by entering the information under Geometry tab It would be able to acces first and last segment and extend the actual lenght by the n value given by user...&amp;nbsp; looks a bit beyond my skill witch are obviously low in programming.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
