I have a file consisting of line string elements that define the profile of an underground cave. I would like to create a mesh from this to then run though CloudCompare to see where a later point cloud survey differs.
I am struggling to use the Mesh tools in Microstation to create an element that will take account of the overhanging roof.
Can anyone suggest a solution?
Using the available tools results in a lot of triangulated elements running from the floor to the ceiling of the cave
could you post DGN or an screenshot at least, what the line strings look like?

Please confirm the product / version your using and as Peter suggest provide an example.
Have you tried selecting all the profiles and then use the 'Mesh From Points' tool, with the Tool setting Direction:Tunnel, placing data points in the cave profiles to define the direction.

Hi
I'm afraid I have no idea how to post a screen shot! Any tips and I'll upload something tomorrow and give a more detail reply
Essentially the methods suggested result in triangulation extending from floor to roof in many locations. I guess what I am looking for is for the software to simply triangulate / mesh only between immediately adjacent contours. I have no problem with doing this on a typical ground surface but the overhanging nature of the cave roof seems to be the issue
