    Working with OBJ files in MicroStation

      Product(s): MicroStation
      Version(s): 10.01.00.13
      Environment: N\A
      Area: Interchange
      Subarea: OBJ

    Working with OBJ files in MicroStation

    Background

    OBJ is an open geometry definition file format (.OBJ) that is available in various software applications.

    Steps to Accomplish

    MicroStation allows you to do the following with OBJ files:

    • Attach them as references
    • Place them as cells
    • Open them in read-only mode
    • Open and save them as DGN files

    You can export a DGN file to OBJ format.

    There are several options available when you open an OBJ file:
    When working with OBJ files, OBJ files use the master units of the file defined by the MS_TRANSEED configuration variable.
    No new levels are created.
    No new color are created because OBJ files do not specify color.
    If you choose to import materials, they are stored in the DGN file.
    Texture files remain in their original location, they are referred to by an absolute or relative path.
