Importing DWG object - stalls at "DATA GROUP VALIDATOR"

Question

Any way to circumvent this? 
 If not, is there a source for DGN cells of vehicles? Need a regular bus for an urban project. 
 Tanks for ideas, 
 Ingemar

 Data Group Validator is used by Open Building Designer to ensure that the items in a file are properly allocated with in a design file. 
 Generally speaking a bus is not part of any datagroup as it is not a architectural / building / mechanical / electrical / plumbing dataset. 
 Therefore if you place something that is not defined in a dataset it will be flagged up by the validator. 
 Going back to your original question in addition to the suggestions previously given I have found a 3D cell of a bus which is in the bus3D.dgn file attached. 
 Hope that helps

 The bus in the drawing was a cell, all elements were on level 50 (its an old cell from many many years ago!) 
 So if you were to drop the cell you would be able to change the level of each of the bits and apply a material or assign a level 
 I have very quickly copied the bus, dropped it from being a cell and changed the outer skin to metal and the glass doors and windows to glass using apply parts. 
 
 The attached file now has two buses - one as a single cell and one modified feel free to play 
 2 bus 3D.dgn 
 Hope that helps

 For anybody to be able to help you, they would need to know if you want a 2D or 3D regular bus.
