&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;this.GetElement().GetDisplayString(&amp;quot;Level&amp;quot;)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;This will not work on cells&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;this.GetElement().CellName&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;I can get the cellname with this.&amp;nbsp; But not the active level.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My item type reports on element levels will be blank whenever attached to a cell element.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Therefore, how do you return the expression for the Level Name of a cell?&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Specifically the active level a cell is placed on?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A cell (cell header) has no level,&amp;nbsp;but it can be placed on active levels.&amp;nbsp; For example if you hover cursor over any cell element it will return the active level.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am struggling to find this value in properties or the expressions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;I am trying to create Expression Syntax Definitions to calculate Length, Width, Height (XYZ) when attaching item types to existing cells/elements.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So far ,XYZ values have been difficult to automatically define in item types.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a title="https://communities.bentley.com/products/microstation/b/microstation_blog/posts/ec-expressions-in-item-types---new-in-microstation-connect-edition-update-12" href="/products/microstation/b/microstation_blog/posts/ec-expressions-in-item-types---new-in-microstation-connect-edition-update-12"&gt;https://communities.bentley.com/products/microstation/b/microstation_blog/posts/ec-expressions-in-item-types---new-in-microstation-connect-edition-update-12&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The above link gives some handy information and a list of pdf syntax.&amp;nbsp; However I cannot see anything suitable to generate XYZ data.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For example RAW dgn data shows the below for a cell:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="175" src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/273/pastedimage1638871713231v1.png" width="345" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is an example expression for volume&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;this.GetElement().GetDisplayValue(&amp;quot;Volume&amp;quot;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;img src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/273/pastedimage1638872035666v3.png" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;Is it possible to do something similar with XZY values?&amp;nbsp; Or use the RAW data (Range Low) minus (Range High)?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Is it possible to add web based 3D mapping into iTwin?

Or has anyone done similar?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The itwin gives the option of adding a new layer via &amp;quot;Type&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;map source URL&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;It would be great to add this into our iTwin for the general 3D environment context.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Types&amp;quot; such as&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Web Map Tile Service&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Web Map Service&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ArcGIS&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Example of some web based services that give the 3d context I am looking for:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://labs.os.uk/public/os-data-hub-examples/os-vector-tile-api/vts-example-3d-buildings"&gt;https://labs.os.uk/public/os-data-hub-examples/os-vector-tile-api/vts-example-3d-buildings&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://demo.f4map.com/#lat=53.4083300&amp;amp;lon=-2.9784272&amp;amp;zoom=17&amp;amp;camera.theta=65.913&amp;amp;camera.phi=63.312"&gt;https://demo.f4map.com/#lat=53.4083300&amp;amp;lon=-2.9784272&amp;amp;zoom=17&amp;amp;camera.theta=65.913&amp;amp;camera.phi=63.312&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the moment all I have is Bing Maps as viewable in my iTwin.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The next question would be can co-ordinate system translation be done via these web-based services?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am attaching my own user definitions as instance data.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;My question is how to add object dimension data to my user definition.&amp;nbsp; Ideally I want to attach object dimensions Length/Width/Height.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Currently my definition file requires manual input of these fields via schedule or properties.&amp;nbsp; I want this to be done automatically, by reading the RAW property data of the existing cell or element.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The high range minus low range values can give me XYZ values.&amp;nbsp; Hopefully these can be utilized.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How can the above data be incorporated into my AECOsim/OpenBuildings Definition File?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have a 3D file that I am cutting dynamic sections.&amp;nbsp; And generating a section view drawing model using the default metric seed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The accuracy of snaps in the drawing model are giving me graphical issues as below.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/273/81864.Untitled.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When zoomed in on the snap it appears to the left or right (moves depending on zoom level).&amp;nbsp; The section is taken through a 3d model.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For simplicity the above is taken through a simple line string in the 3D model.&amp;nbsp; Highlighted in&amp;nbsp;purple above is the line string, as you can see, the snap is to left.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have checked the camera settings are off, and that only the cut plane is shown (forwards/backwards are off),&amp;nbsp;No ACS, No plane locks&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have tried changing the locate interiors input.&amp;nbsp; Yet I am unable to snap to the element accurately.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This behavior is extremely annoying when trying to annotate/dimension a section callout.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Any advice?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
