AECOsim Dynamic view sections from structural elements don’t cap when opened in Microstation. Is this the standard behavior?

DVs sections from ABD of a structural element like a slab it doesn’t cap the cut face when I open and activate the section callout in Microstation.

I’m not expecting to see unifications / hatching (or other fancy stuff) because I know Microstations doesn’t have Building Views and dataset family & parts like AECOsim

Just wondering if the described behavior is standard and not a problem with my setup.

 

See screen caps

 

Thanks

    Hi Steve,
    Thanks for the reply I can understand what you describe.
    I’m not really worried about the hatch pattern I was more after some acknowledge about the missing compatibility between ABD structural elements and plain Microstation, special related to the no capping of the structural elements in cut section callout.
    The reason is that I always generated my drawings from DVs with ABD, always felt that using Microstation for that purpose was downgrading, that was fine and I never really worried about any of this. But now I’m in a managing / coordinating role in projects where drawings from ABD models are being generated only with Microstation, they don’t use ached views and everybody acts like that’s the normal workflow. So you can see the problems here. I try to demonstrate all this and convince people of the lack of compatibility, but find a lot of inertia.
    So I’m just trying to find some info to back me up and convince them to change, not looking for workarounds specially the ones I already know.
    Cheers

    Hi Gilberto,

    You're welcome!   And yes, I do understand.   I think from a MicroStation perspective it can be difficult to understand the advantages of ABD unless one has that direct experience, with that cut plane resymoblization you've pointed out as one of those key aspects.   It's something we tend to take for granted until it's not there.      Slight smile
