Question:
How do I prepare my ProStructures data to be published to an iModel?

Answer:
Reinforcement needs to be placed using ProStructures as it needs to be the authoring product.

For projects that have reinforcement information, you can publish the model directly from the file that contains the data directly from ProStructures. No other work is necessary.

For projects with multiple reinforcement data done in different dgn files, a container file is recommended.

If you only need to publish the reinforcement information models from a container file:

1.- Create a 3D container DGN file with ProStructures.

• This container file needs to be created from the correct seed file in the Workspace used by the dataset.
• The container file needs to have the correct GCS for the project.

2.- Attach all needed/required reference files.

• Ensure the Reference Display = ON for each reference attachment you want to show in the iModel.
• Set the references within the “container” file to a minimum nesting depth of 1
