&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Problem Description&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After opening a DGN file&amp;nbsp;AECOsim Building Designer will crash with an exception error.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If the workspace and dataset is pointing to a correct location and there is no configuration issue, then this error may be related to one of *.rul files in the dataset.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Steps to Resolve&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Check the dataset location and navigate to the folder where the *.rul files have been stored. For the installed workspace it will be available under:&lt;br /&gt;i.&amp;nbsp;C:\ProgramData\Bentley\AECOsimBuildingDesigner V8i Ss6\WorkSpace\BuildingDatasets\&amp;lt;dataset name&amp;gt;\rules&lt;br /&gt;ii.&amp;nbsp;C:\ProgramData\Bentley\AECOsimBuildingDesigner V8i Ss6\WorkSpace\Projects\BuildingExamples\&amp;lt;project name&amp;gt;\support\dataset\rules&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are in ProjectWise managed workspace, there are specific variables that can point you to *.rul file folder. These variables specify the name and location of the file that stores the application&amp;#39;s drawing rules.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ATFFILE_DRAWINGRULES = $(PROJ_DATASET)rules/Architectural.rul&lt;br /&gt;HVACFILE_DRAWINGRULES = $(PROJ_DATASET)rules/Mechanical.rul&lt;br /&gt;STFFILE_DRAWINGRULES = $(PROJ_DATASET)rules/Structural.rul&lt;br /&gt;STFFILE_MODELSTYLES &lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;= $(PROJ_DATASET)rules/StructuralAnnotation.rul&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Check the size of each *.rul file and try to open it with Notepad. If any file size appears to be 0kb or 0bytes then there is possibility that this file is corrupted.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Replace the file with the correct version&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;you can always use the installed workspace for files in such cases.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Test again by reopening the DGN&amp;nbsp;file(s).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If there is still some problem, then please create a Service Request along with the list of all relevant details so that Bentley support can provide an in-depth analysis for possible solution or workarounds.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
