I am working in Metric units and I have a design seed file that I am using for Microstation 3D modeling which has the correct coordinate system and units set up. Can I use the same .dgn file to start a new GC design file? Does each software have a dedicated seed file in order to work properly? Can someone give a brief explanation of how seed file works with GC?
Hi Jaimin
Good question. There has been historical thoughts that some of the features in OpenBuildings, like structural objects, needed a certain resolution but I am not so sure how relevant this is now, but we should find out.
Is this seed file something that is expected to be used across many DGN based products on a single project?
Could you post the seed file?

Hi Stuart,
Please find attached 3D design seed file. We are working in Metric units with primary meters and secondary millimeters.

I don't see your seed being an issue. The only change here from the delivered seed in OpenBuildings and GC is the master unit. The resolution and SWA is still the same.
From this recommendation all looks to comply to this and the master unit change is not going to affect the resolution or SWA.
