OepnBuilding plugin to Synchro

Philippe Testard
Offline

Hello,

I downloaded the plugin for OpenBuilding to export to .spx file to be able to put into Synchro software a model from OB.

However I cannot find it anywhere.

In v8i it was on utilities => MDL applications and it is not the case here fr the Connect version.

I also did not find any documentation for this addin.

Do you think you can help me ?

Thanks.

    Hi- to bring the models from OBD to Pro, you will need to use one of the options below:

    Option1: Obtain dgn, i.dgn or bim then open SYNCHRO Pro, choose File> 3D, then directly import of .dgn, i.dgn and .bim 
    Option2: Publish i-model (i.dgn) from OBD, then open it in MicroStation where you can use the SYNCHRO Pro Plugin for MicroStation which can be downloaded from: https://softwaredownloads.bentley.com/en/ProductDetails/2917
    Option3: Sometimes as a workaround, you can consider export 3D dwg then import that into SYNCHRO Pro. 

    Documentation is available within SYNCHRO Pro. Press F1 then search keyword MicroStation Connect Edition. 

    Please try out the above options.

    Hello,

    I downloded the plugin and installed it but nothign happens in Microstation connect edition.

    I do not have the MDL applications.

    I think the last version of the installer is not working properly version 06.02.01.03.

    Or how can I check that it is correclty installed ?

    The other options works but :- or the geometry is imported as one block and elements are not broken down,

    - Or data is missing from the native software.

    Thanks,

    To check whether the SYNCHRO Pro plugin for MicroStation is properly installed, you will need to follow the instructions (F1 in Pro then search the keyword "MicroStation", there is step by step in Help). 

    Typically if I use open iDGN to MicroStation then use the plugin it should work fine. 

    In some cases, you may need to use the old plugins for MicroStation v8i SS3 or SS4. 

    I also noticed that there is an OBD bridge for iModel, so very soon this will be an option as Pro is currently working on the iModel integration and some improvements.
