Reality Mesh section to sheet model

No one can answer to this?

The following workflow may help using the 'Section Callout' tool with a pre configured Drawing Seed and setting the Visible Edges to Dynamic, Text and Dimensions could be added to Drawing or Sheet Model.

You could use a similar workflow as you did with defining the sections, but instead of using the Section Callout use the Plan or Elevation callout.

Once you have the Plan in the Sheet you can expose the Section lines by hovering over the section marker, and selecting 'Show Callouts' rather than drawing additional lines and having to modify again if changes are made.

If you do not wish to see the whole plan model in the sheet, you can use the Clip Reference tool.

Place a Fence shape ( see Tool Settings ) to define the area required, open the References dialog and in the dialog select the Plan reference followed by the 'Clip Reference ' tool. Except with a data point in the View. ( Alternatively place a shape and use this to clip the Reference )

Possibly a cell placed at the intersection of the Terrain / Section Line / Path could be used to pick up the Coordinates. See https://communities.bentley.com/products/microstation/w/microstation__wiki/15948/coordinate-cell or something placed at this location so Properties can be obtained / exposed in Text Fields.

It may also be worth your while looking at Civil application such as OpenRoads https://www.bentley.com/en/products/brands/openroads and Descartes https://www.bentley.com/en/products/brands/descartes if doing allot of work in this area, assuming not already aware.

Hi Carl,

everything's ok but following the quoted advice, I cannot clip.

Placing a plan callout works great, and I can show it on the plan view placed onto the sheet model. I've been able to clip just using a rectangular shape (which I would avoid to use) but this clips also the dimensioning placed in the drawing model.

I think I miss something. The current workflow is:

1. in design model, I place a plan callout from top view (so, actually sectioning the ground). It's extended outside the reality model's boundary.
2. I create the drawing (dynamic visible edges) and open the model.
3. I place dimensions
4. open the sheet model
5. drag and drop section plan drawing onto the sheet (from Models window). The attach source files' window opens: I leave "attachment method:recommended".
6. I place a rectangular fence, using the "place fence" tool (fence type block, fence mode inside)
7. open the references dialog, I select the plan reference from the references list
8. select the clip reference tool on the references window ribbon top bar
9. At this point, the software asks to "define a reference clipping boundary": if I try to select the fence, nothing happens. If I try to select the reference's boundary, a pop up message says "element type not valid for this tool".

Everything's works if I place a shape and clip reference choosing that box. I would prefer not to see the rectangular box.

You might find it useful to create a level "clip" and make it non-printable. I've found using an element to clip is especially handy when you need to modify the clip. Works for raster and vector references. "Clip" is in all my seed files, dgnlib.

I'm sure Carl will fix up up though, he's a Keeper.

I suspect that at Step 8 having selected the Clip Reference tool, the Tool Settings Method: is set to Element rather than Active Fence.

As Bob mentioned a shape on another  level can prove useful, for later use IE clipping additional reference files that may be attached later. ( or use Named Fences )
