Export to 3D format and retain custom properties

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?

    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.

    If it is not possible using tag method is it possible using  maybe item types or some other method?

    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.
