Hi,
I am trying synchronize quite simple 3D model, but this error is reported during the synchronization:
ERROR [0x0000475c] iModelBridge - Project extents are too narrow: 0.000000 (ratio of largest footprint dimension to height; expected greater than than 0.100000). Element geometry this expansive will affect display performance, and often indicates corrupt elements or transforms.
I do not understand what is wrong and how DGN file should be corrected.
With regards,
Jan
Hi Jan,Not sure how the 3D model is created, but could you check if you have the correct geometry in the dgn.
Generally we have an issue that the 3D geometry is set to large or we have some outliers, but it looks like there it is a 2D flat model, is that the case ?
We do have ways of setting the extents, but for the z element, you may want to consider adding some height. I am going to guess that in this case we could downgrade the message to a WARNING rather than an ERROR
One more comment...
The biggest object in model has its range:
So it's flat (6 meters height), but large (> 160 meters length), placed in big negative coordinates. Common situation for all civil projects in Czech Republic.

The validation is based on width/height (x/y) vs. depth (z), not the absolute position. The intention is to detect very tall but narrow extents (e.g. bad geometry up in space), so a model that is very flat should not trigger this (the larger of width/height divided by depth will be a large number, not less than 0.1).
I think the bigger problem here is actually a crash in the MicroStation bridge. It seems related to converting the GCS information. I'll let the Connector team know about the crash. It is also quite possible the extent report is a red herring due to the incomplete conversion.

Thanks a lot!
If there will be any need for testing with specific data, I am ready
