Importing Lidar files into Microstation V8i

Hello,
Could you specify the file format you are using?
The ability to reference Point Cloud data in POD format is available in MicroStation.
Other supported formats can be converted to POD file format before being attached.

The Point Cloud tools can be found in:
Tools>Point Clouds

Regards
Derval Canny.

Is there a way I can convert over to a 3D file model?

DGN file is a container.  It contains on or more DGN models.  A model can be 2D or 3D.  Once a model is created, you can't convert it to a different dimensionality.  A DGN file can contain both 2D and 3D models.

Reference Attachments

Create a new 3D model you can use for point cloud data.  Attach your 2D model as a reference.  That way, you don't have to change anything.  You can keep your original 2D model and the 3D model in the same DGN file.

Or if I recall correctly you can Create a 3D model, attach point cloud, set clip volume or display depth if you want, and then reference that to your 2D model.
