I have received a model from a client I believe originally drawn in Openbuilding. I have opened this model in Microstation (V8 DGN) part of the model is showing a solid and another part appears to be wire frame. How can I view the wireframe part as a solid. Please spell it out as I am not familiar with Microstation and do not quite follow the way the program works as new to using Microstation. What we are considering doing which might resolve is upgrading the license to Aecosim. Would this resolve or is there steps to view the model in Microstation.Note 1: When selecting the wireframe part it appears to select the whole wire frame as though it were a solidNote 2: I am unable to screenshot or share file due to contract confidentiality
There are probably a few things going on here, so there may not be a single, simple solution to your issue.
Plain Microstation may not be able to modify design elements created with OpenBuildings, and if it can, it could cause problems to the point of breaking the design. I am not familiar with OpenBuidlings, but I assume that it is similar to OpenRoads - the design is saved into the actual elements themselves as part of a comprehensive design model.
The "wireframe part" may not be a single element that can be rendered as solid. It is quite possible that it is a collection of single elements grouped together within OB to represent a design feature. If that is the case, you would need to create an actual surface/solid/mesh/etc. that could be displayed the way you want.
There is an actual forum for OB/AECOsim where people may be better able to answer your question: https://communities.bentley.com/products/building/building_analysis___design/f/aecosim-speedikon-forum

See my answers to Jose Pinho above, which may give further insight.

Not looking to change the origional design. Only add to design with new elements(awaiting requirement if this is required) or convert to other software formats with which I am more knowledgeable.

Client is using OB and appears fine on their side. The model is linked to Projectwise. Could this be a factor?. They refuse to give us access for confidentiality reasons.

could it be copied there instead to have greater exposure in both places MS & OB/AS for possible solution
