Holes in shapes do not work when importing from shapefiles

Hi all

When we import a shape file into Bentley Map SS1 holes are getting "filled".

A simple test:

See the attached dgn file.

1) On level "Original - with hole" I have made a simple shape with a hole.

2) I then export it to a shape file. And checked that it is exportet correctly (it is)...

3) Then I import the shapefile again - the result can be seen on level "Importet - no hole" - and now the hole is gone...

Is this a bug or a feature? Or am I missing something?

Kind regards

Morten

  • Morten,

    I was able to successfully export and import the graphics using Bentley Map v08.11.07.124. 

    Your imported graphic is acknowledged as a Grouped Hole by MicroStation - with a Solid/Hole element - but not filled.  The import in my test created a Filled cell/grouped hole.

    Try setting the Level, Color, Fill Mode & Fill Color on the Import dialog.

    MicroStation has a problem trying to set the fill on the Element Information dialog in my test.
