Hi all,
Is there any way to import RFA files into Microstation?
I have found one command few weeks ago to do it, but I lost my work history due to reinstalling software.
Anybody can help?
Thanks
Tom
Hi,
The following is the Key-in that you are looking for:
Key-in: TFPACELL WIZARD
TFPACELL
WIZARD
Else you can go to:
Backstage: File > Import > 3D Modeling File Types > Import RFA to Catalog.
Hope this helps.
That's the one I was looking for.... There is another command TFPACELL IMPORT allows us to place rfa file straight into the model.
Many Thanks !
Just one more thing... Can I place RFA files directly from DataGroup Catalog ?
Hi Tomasz,
sorry to be a little picky but please be careful with your writing. This is the AECOsim Forum and if your question is about AECOsim then please dont call it MicroStation.
Now the reason I am being so precise is because the way you asked the first question and the subsequent second question are cross mixing MicroStation and AECOsim
MicroStation Connect Edition
There is a command that allows you to place an RFA cell directly into your model. This cell would NOT have Datagroup information. You can get too it via the backstage.
The keyins are "import rfafile". The object properties will appear as ecschema data in the items browser.
AECOsim.
Again from the backstage their is an import command import RFA to catalog
This will allow to create a datagroup entry linked to the cell with the properties in the datagroup system. this uses the keyin "TFPACELL Wizard" as Tathgata suggested. if you use the wizzard its should answer your question about placing cells directly from the datagroup catalog.

Yes, but only if you use the RFA Interpreter so that the RFA's properties are mapped to DataGroup properties. Once complete, that component should be available from the applicable placement tool.
