&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks for trying, but that is not the question.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do you know where I might be able to download an example .bim file ?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Mstn 2023  .BIM file?</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/771490?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 29 Jun 2023 10:53:08 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:ab4b1201-0f5c-4921-be76-89a1868e37f5</guid><dc:creator>Kevin van Haaren</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I believe it&amp;#39;s this format:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a id="" href="https://dotbim.net"&gt;https://dotbim.net&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;a JSON formatted text file. Similar to IFC but nowhere near that complicated. Not sure if Microstation supports all .BIM files or just ones from iTwin.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;file format is documented on GitHub:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://github.com/paireks/dotbim"&gt;github.com/.../dotbim&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Mstn 2023  .BIM file?</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/771470?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 29 Jun 2023 08:44:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:73083b1a-7961-41f3-b4d1-d58c1024a3ff</guid><dc:creator>Maria Garcia</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Mark,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;I believe this functionality is only for developers on iTwin platform, and files are generated from the iTwin Snapshot &lt;a id="" href="https://www.itwinjs.org/learning/tutorials/create-test-imodel-offline/"&gt;https://www.itwinjs.org/learning/tutorials/create-test-imodel-offline/&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;The recommended workflow however is to use attach an iModel from the iModelHub in order to attach the latest, most up to date revision of the iModel in your DGN file.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Mstn 2023  .BIM file?</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/771461?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 29 Jun 2023 07:53:05 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:821f0c72-9441-47f8-b6c3-d8f271304fdb</guid><dc:creator>Mark Shamoun</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Zeno,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think the issue we have is how we generate a .BIM file from an iModel. I dont believe this is General Access?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Mstn 2023  .BIM file?</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/771455?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 29 Jun 2023 07:37:16 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:3f351337-cb20-47b5-b7e9-947f2f3c0315</guid><dc:creator>Zeno Lippi</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Dominic,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility. A BIM is a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility forming a reliable basis for decisions during its life-cycle; defined as existing from earliest conception to demolition.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
