Hi all,
I'm trying to set up a parcel feature that can be managed as a cadastral fabric. Can I set it up so that my cadastral layer, boundaries, and nodes are all Oracle Spatial features?
I started by registering three Oracle Spatial features in the GSA- Parcel_Area_Collection, Section_Line, and Section_Corner_Point. When I try to go through the cadastral wizard with that XFM schema as the seed, it tells me I can specify existing features as the polygon, line, or point features. If I try it, the wizard tells me that the feature name is already in use. Any advice?

Hi Rob,
In the Bentley Cadastre V8i Schema Wizard, when you have to specify the polygon name feature, remove the suffix "_Collection"; it should add the suffix then. I suggest you to only use "Parcel_Area" according to your feature name.
If it still an issue please let us know.

Thanks, Sebastien. I noticed that I could do that for my parcel feature. Is there a way to store the nodes and lines in Oracle as well? Perhaps I could change those registered features to collections somehow...
Just to be sure to not use duplicate name, you can use default name propose by the wizard or custom name different from those used in registered features.

Sorry, I don't understand that. I have point and line features in Oracle Spatial- how do I tell the cadastre wizard that these are the bounds and nodes of my parcels without using a duplicate name?
My fault here. I was not clear enough.
In the Cadastre Wizard, in the Topology Layer page, we must select feature from drop list to assign register feature to Cadastre feature. Unfortunately here, Cadastre will accept (listed) only Collection feature (point, line, polygon). It said it is a duplicate name because all features which will not associated to Cadastre feature (all non-collection feature) will stay in the schema ... and we cannot have duplicate feature name in schema.
So, you have to use Oracle spatial collection feature to associated it to Cadastre feature.That is the restriction for the moment.

Is there any way to create point and line "Registered Oracle-Spatial Features" that are collections? Polygons are automatically created as a collection when I register features. Other types are not collections. I can change their Type in the GSA after I register them (e.g., collection-linestring/curve instead of linestring/curve), but I don't see any way to add the line/point subfeatures that I would need.
Unless there's a way to create Oracle Spatial point and line collection features, it sounds like the final answer is: Only the parcels can be stored in Oracle, the boundaries and nodes will have to remain in a DGN.
That should be define in database, in Oracle Spatial. Then, GSA will recognize geometry of collection feature.
I will refer you to Bentley Map Help file about how to "Setting up Oracle": docs.bentley.com/.../MicroStationMaphelp91.html
