Hi,I have model that consists of many mesh elements. Most of meshes have attached multiple tag elements. Tag elements hold mesh specific data (id, type, manufacturer,...).Is it possible to export this model to one of supported 3d export formats (obj, fbx, dae, vrml ...) and to retain those mesh specific properties?If it is not possible using tag method is it possible using maybe item types or some other method?

What version (e.g. v10.x.y.z) of MicroStation, or other product, are you using?

We are using Microstation 08.11.09.829 but we also have installed 10.11.00.36 and 10.05.00.40.

Which of those formats supports graphic element properties? Clearly, if the target format does not support element properties then you won't be able to export from MicroStation.
If MicroStation doesn't support the export of element properties then you'll have to commission a developer to write an export tool for the required format.

Item Types are new to MicroStation CONNECT. MicroStation tags have been available for a couple of decades.
dae format has extra tag that could be populated with those propertiess. Also, 3ds max can export user defined properties to fbx so idea of Microstation exporting those properties is not so strange.
MicroStation can export in Collada format.
MicroStation can read 3D Studio files. Help doesn't tell us about 3DS export.
In neither case does help mention non-graphic properties or attribute data.
