Compute Distance through Terrascan

In Micostation connect version if we need to check the flight line distance through terrascan display mode we need to run the "Compute distance" then only Distance is enabling in the Display mode. Where as in the previous version V8i we used to check them through Display mode without running the "Compute distance". Why the Connect version is not supporting like V8i. or is there any alternative way?

  • It looks like Terrascan is third-party software. This is a Bentley discussion board. You should probably take any questions you have about another company's software over to their support site.

    That said, my initial thought is "Because Connect is a completely different software package than V8i". The underlying programming has changed significantly, and many, many applications developed for V8i will not work on the Connect platform. If this is an important part of the work you do, you may need to keep a copy of V8i around for this process.

  • many applications developed for V8i will not work on the Connect platform

    No application developed for V8i will work on CONNECT.  MicroStation CONNECT is a 64-bit application; earlier versions of MicroStation are 32-bit.  All V8 apps. must be refactored and rebuilt to be able to work on CONNECT, and it's not a simple process.

    The exception to my generalisation is VBA macros.  Many VBA macros will run unchanged when copied from MicroStation V8 to MicroStation CONNECT.  However, no third-party developer is likely to write an app. using VBA.

    If the app. was written using MicroStation BASIC, then there's no way forward.  The best route is to rewrite the BASIC code in VBA.
