Hi
after years using Microstation
i want to know someting more about materials export. Every time you need to use Packager or send file and all texture you use.
Now i want to send i-model for someone - but it seems that exported file is without material too. Packager extract files and you have too many files.
Sorry, don't know if i'm clear :
Maybe is possible to collect all materials ( assigned and attached ) to new format outside file for example .dgnm or something ? and of course with possibility to extract material from this file in material editor.
Than you can send only 2 files dgn + dgnm file without packager or other form. Or better - export for publishing to dgn* ( or i-model file ) with materials in one.
Why dgn can't have it inside dgn ? Ok the file is bigger but if you use materials you know this. Better is simple button for detach / attach while save.
Hi Ron
Thanks alot, just what i needed

Hi Helge,
Here's a quick video that demonstrates how to use Packager and include all textures.

I tried packager for the first time But did not get the textures. What is the exact settings i would need to use in packager to get my dgn and all textures in to one folder?
regards
Other similar option like rasters to treat materials as we intended?

Paul , maybe it's time to back to this idea. Maybe one ( other file ) with visualisation settigns / materials. - people that add big texture expect this file size i think and as i see i have not special problem with 800 - 1 gb file - we have year by year : faster internet connection, faster computers, bigger and faster disk drives , clouds etc...
I don't understand idea of share the i-model file if i must send materials as other files. Maybe time for export to v-model with all settings :)
