Hi
I had to do new clipped areas from ground elevation information where all elements were shapes, my plan was to clip and copy my area from reference information with the Optimized fence clipping option set to on in preferences.
and then placed fence use fence clip function with place fence/clip by element, but I had my area non planar so the fence result looks like this:
I changed my area to planar and did the same place fence/clip by element, selected my planar area:
Then I used the copy/move command (copy) and set the copy to fence and clip
But the result when copy from reference with these settings did not produce new shapes in clipped areas, so this don´t work when copying from reference information!!
I tested and noticed that this workflow If you have all the information in your active file works just fine, it clips and creates new shapes in clip boundary.
Fine, then I knew that I had to merge into master all my references i wanted to do this function.. BUT for my surprise when I selected all my references in attach reference dialog box and chose "Merge into master"
This option dialog box did also appear:
WHAT?!
There isn't an option to merge into master by fence what I know of, and when you can´t "clip fence" with merge into master command there will be no elements to needed processing Optimized "fence" clipping, merge into master copy the whole reference file to our master file as is, with no options whatever!
Have I missed something here? the same thing was also with V8 (Select Series) so this is no Connect issue what I know of.
What would make sense is that the Allow Optimized fence clipping:
Does not exist i preferences:
Instead in every function that can activate this option, ex copy:

Hi JonI found an old thread what I was hopeful to be implemented in microstation soon but this is still not aviable.
Is it possible to attach geo tagged photos to MS as georefered raster ?? - ContextCapture | Descartes | Pointools | Orbit Forum - ContextCapture | Descartes | Pointools | Orbit - Bentley Communities
So to get these #ideas# to be real is not anything for me to do!
Regards
And one more thing about describe an work around in the thread readers is that they can find an solution to continue with their project without waiting years for an update from Bentley.

Hi Jon
Yeah, to convert this to idea is an option, but what I said in earlier threads. is the idea a good place to add these kind of suggestions. BUT if you relate to the Wish (Idea) there isn´t enough of VOTES for your idea,this is worthless to add as an idea. Most of these for me clear design problems in code is not worth to add as an idea. Better to inform through this thread and to reminder to my self what is the standard "work around" in bentley world to solve an problem. Is Bentley seeng this or not I don´t know, I just wan´t to help users who read this.
