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
If polygon has not filled, to select the entire collection, you have to hover the pointer on the edge, it will highlight the shape, then reset button , it will highlight all collection. Now, data button to confirm the entire collection selection.
See following video screen capture for details:
I hope that helps.

But if the polygon is not filled then I am not able to select collection as there is no interior. Or I am missing something?
Also the internal shapes are not with area type hole. It would be better if it is grouped hole element as then standard area measurement tools could be used. How does Map knows which shapes are hole? by shape direction?
Yes, there is definitely a sweet spot for the collections. We have to be able to modify the individual components of the collection AND the collection as a whole.
If you select the outer edge of one of the polygon components then that component is moved, etc. If you issue a datapoint on the interior of the polygon then the collection will be selected and the whole collection can be moved.
Is that what you are looking for ???
Tried this hole_test_jaw.zip example in SS3 and it now creates new version XFM Feature which also acts weird. If I map to a feature without fill then it is not possible to select polygon collection it selects only individual shapes.
Yes. In fact, it should now be available.
