I'm having an issue opening a file with OpenBridge Modeler. it is stuck when "loading master model and all references". The file that has been loading but didn't load succesfully is
File: S:\CADD\PROGRAMS\Bentley\CONNECT\Organization-Civil\TXDOT\Dgnlib\Feature Definitions\S:\CADD\PROGRAMS\Bentley\CONNECT\Organization-Civil\TXDOT\Dgnlib\Feature Definitions
Model: Default-3D
I took a screenshot below. Did anyone know what I can do? Thanks a lot!
Are the files local? There may be an issue with a reference file causing the issue. if you try to open without loadinf references does the file open?
How to open a dgn without any reference attached in Open(Roads/Rail/Site) Designer
We have the same problem when trying to open any DGN from ProjectWise using OpenBridge Modeler. For us the file open process always gets stuck at this point. Has anyone had something similar happen? How did you resolve it?
Hi Raymond,
When this happens there is usually a workset or another dialog somewhere waiting for a response.

Hi Mark,
I appreciate it. I tried looking for some other dialog by minimizing windows but no luck. Same thing happens to other users. We have no problems opening DGN files from ProjectWise with OpenRoads or MicroStation. Just OpenBridge is giving us this issue. We have a few structural engineers that need to open DGN files from our highway engineers, but unable to. I did notice these two sub items under OpenBridge Modeler in task manager. I wonder if it is because it is trying to open a file that it thinks is open?
In addition, I noticed I get this alert when trying to open from the C: drive. It doesn't even like that too. Perhaps the above issues are interrelated.
I am replying to help those who seek the answer to this issue. We run into this issue very often and the reason for this is because during this transition phase at GDOT, we have so many MicroStation workspace competing with each other. First the was Inroads, then PowerInroads, then we use OpenRoads and now we're in OpenBridge. Since there are still projects in Inroads, and OpenRoads, we could not set the default app to OpenBridge in ProjectWise. So as a result, we have specific folder in which the workspace reside if that make sense.
Anyhow, so solve this issue, you have to create the files within the folder space that allow for OpenBridge files to operate. If you were to create an OpenBridge file within a folder set for OpenRoads etc, you will be stuck in this loading screen. If you have started the DGN in OpenRoads for example, you will have to create a fresh file in OpenBridge in its own OpenBridge folder/space and reference the OpenRoad file and transfer things over. I have NOT found a way to successfully convert OpenRoads DGN to OpenBridge Modeler DGN. Also if there are different versions, that will also give you issue.
I hope Bentley is working to make it seamless between versions and all the OpenWhatever modules. Right now there is too many hoops to jump through.
