Hi guys,
I need to send my ABD model to a colleague that works only with MS. He wants to be able to edit the model using MS. I've been reading in the forum and I've used the TF REMOVE and the CONVERT BREP commands. However all the walls and slabs that were created with ABD are transformed into cells. This elements are not so easily manipulated using MS tools. Is there a way to convert this into another MS entity?
There may be a simpler way to do this, but one manual method that seems to work is:
- From the Solid Modeling task panel, select the Modify Solid Entity tool
- Using the default settings, grab an edge of the Wall or Slab and accept the start and end locations at the same point; e.g., use the tool but don't actually may any changes to the element
- Accept, and click Yes at the prompt
- Now use the TFREMOVE keyin
I think this should give you a Smart Solid that is editable in plain MicroStation.
