Hi,I was working on a DGN today, all was going well. I managed to use topodot to export the CSV, but when I wanted to save the DGN or Export it to DWG it kept getting errors. I closed the drawing and couldn't open it again.The worst part is I can see it in the thumbnail, but I can open it.Does someone maybe have a fix for this? Axiom isn't returning my requests so yeah anyone maybe know a fix?Regards,
Ryen

Will do, RyenGast Problem File.dgn
This is infamous "model null" error which did previously show up when trying to attach as references such files in older v8i versions. This file seems to be edited in U16 version so it again proves that there are still issues with handling oless files as no such issues are typical for other doc files.
7-zip says this so it has some corruption and data loss is possible.
Reimplanted model header from seed file and now file can be opened. Take a look how many elements are recovered. I have no idea what I am actually doing as DGN specification is no longer open so it is all my guess of internal structure of DGN files.

Hi Oto,Seems about 50% data recovery, which is alot better than nothing! Luckily it gives me a reference to try recoup some of the lost elements.I am not sure of this, but is it possible to make it 3D? I want to see if the Co-ords were preserved, and I am still quite the microstation noob.But thanks alot for this! it helps alot! Gives me something to work off of!
May bad. I used 2D seed file. Will try again.
Try this one. Recovered two models.

Thanks! It helps alot! Could verify the CSV I exported and will get the other elements from a template I used. The Purple Points I exported to a CSV before I tried to save, and just wanted to verify the extracted points, after the funny business I was a bit stressed they maybe didn't do it properly.
