Dear All,
I want to convert a surface into shapes. Is there any options available in Microstation-V8?
This would depend on what this surface is required to be. Is this in relation to a Digital Terrain Model (DTM) surface? Maybe you could provide an example design file or screen capture to help explain what you require.
Also, it would be helpful if you could supply details of the version of MicroStation V8 you are using. This can be located under > Help > About MicroStation.

Hi Andrew,
In the attachment, Magenta color represents the input(Surface element) and the Yellow color represents a part of expected output(Shape elements).
Here We are using Microstation Version 08.05.01.25 Windows x86.
Hi,
in the current MicroStation version (and a few older), as a user, you can convert a surface to shapes creating a mesh from the surface and in the second step to drop the mesh element to independent shapes. Your application would do something similar.
I have no SDK for the mentioned version installed, but you should check if a meshing function is available in the version of SDK you use. Mesh element and related tools were implemented in a newer version, but may be the meshing was available using API even before.
With regards,
Jan
