Only able to select the bottom half of my model on the side section callout- Microstation V8I

Hi,

On my model I have created a sheet with side section, and top section callouts. The problem is when I run the curser over the side section callout, it only lets me approximately select the bottom half of the model.  So when am trying to do dimensions it will only snap to the bottom half elements and not the top half? I am assuming it has something to so with the location/size of the plan section callouts, but that is just am assumption on my part.  So have tried adjusting the plan section boundary sizes, but doesn't seem to have made any difference?  Being a newbie to 3D microstation am sure it is probably a setting that I have missed somewhere.

  • Hi Yongan,
     
    I am unable to select any of the top half of my side section cut out.  I have attached DGN file and video as requested.

  • So sorry to miss your replied post. Without finding your recorded video, I open your DGN file and try to select any part of your section and I can. Please see my attached video.



  • Hi Yongan,
     
    Apologies, I did not make it clear.  I am unable to select any elements on the side section of the unit on the ‘A1 title block sheet’, not the model sheet.  So when trying to dimension it only lets me select the bottom half of the model.

  • Sorry, I finally understood your question. I am curious how you create your sheet model? I create a new MySheet model and attach your Side Section drawing model in it and every part can be easily selected. Please see my revised dgn file here.
