&lt;p&gt;Jan is correct that the Smart Solid MicroStation element types are not suitable (or available) for Export to Shapefile.&amp;nbsp; The alternative would be to use a database such as Oracle to store the objects as 3D shapes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;as mwlong wrote, Bentley Map offers export to SHP format. But SHP is 2D format, which was later extended to support what is called 2.5D (can be treated as a simple 3D), so it doesn&amp;#39;t allow to store potentially complex 3D objects like Smart Solid element in MicroStation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I doubt (but have not tested) the export is able to handle general 3D objects and convert them into format proper to be stored in SHP files. I guess if you will convert Smart Solid element to individual shapes (edges), maybe the export will be able to handle it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What do you want to achieve?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With regards,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp;Jan&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: DGN to SHP</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/296025?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 14 Aug 2014 15:32:04 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:d5c00de0-c4fa-483e-919b-aa74317d6452</guid><dc:creator>Balakrishnan Rajendran</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I have Bentley Map.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: DGN to SHP</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/296022?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 14 Aug 2014 15:07:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:85883d9e-cf7c-4b85-b1fa-2701e70fc49d</guid><dc:creator>mwlong</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;You would need Bentley Map in order to accomplish this task.
