Converted 2018 .DWG files into DGN files using Connect version 16. To open in connect solids looks good. To open same file in Microstation in V8i the solids turn into surfaces and no longer render properly.
another thing you can try in CE is the below keyin:
choose all;convert brep;xy=0
It worked, thanks so much.
Try this;
1. Open the DWG in CE
2. Keyin CONVERT ACISTOPARASOLID ALL
3. Save as DGN
4. Open DGN in v8i
Seems both names are smart solids but display says smart surface in v8i
here is connect
v8i version
