iModel file - Views disappear when processed by Navigator Mobile Publisher

Zebidee, is your model 2D (plain) or 3D?

Would you upload your DGN file so we may review it on our side. If it is confidential you can use Secure File upload and only Bentley colleagues may see it. http://communities.bentley.com/help/w/be_communities_help/7079.communities-secure-file-upload.aspx

What versions of Navigator Mobile Publisher and Navigator Mobile on iPad you have installed?

It's a 3D model. I will upload the DGN, its attached 'context' reference file and the .iModel to the link you provided.

The versions of NM (05.00.01) and NMP (05.00.01.06) were all installed in the past few days.

Is it correct that your master file name is "140610_3D .dgn", if yes I can publish mobile i-model and view it on Navigator Mobile on iPad. However, I see empty views of your generated *.imodel.

I see yours *.imodel file is only 33,0KB size, as my published is over 4MB.

Double checking the steps:

1. Open your "140610_3D .dgn" (it has one ref file and one sub-referenced dxf file is missing, but not needed for test) with MicroStation or Bentley i-model Composer or AECOsim Building Designer or ... what you have.

2. Publish a packaged i-model:

3. open packaged I-model in Navigator Mobile Publisher 05.00.01.06 and generate *.imodel

4. view *.imodel in Navigator Mobile iPad app

(Is it correct that your master file name is "140610_3D .dgn",)

YES

(if yes I can publish mobile i-model and view it on Navigator Mobile on iPad. However, I see empty views of your generated *.imodel).

This is my experience too. The file is there, but without any views!

(I see your *.imodel file is only 33,0KB size, as my published is over 4MB.)

Might explain the problem! Could be because there is no data to view?

(Double checking the steps:

1. Open your "140610_3D .dgn" (it has one ref file and one sub-referenced dxf file is missing, but not needed for test))

Correct -(the .dxf file is turned off)

( with MicroStation or Bentley i-model Composer or AECOsim Building Designer or ... what you have.)

I use Microstation v8i  SS3

(2. Publish a packaged i-model)

Done as per your steps

(3. open packaged I-model in Navigator Mobile Publisher 05.00.01.06 and generate *.imodel)

Done as your steps

(4. view *.imodel in Navigator Mobile iPad app)

No views visible either when 'checking the .imodel file within NMP OR on the iPad. File is only 33Kb!

What is the exact version of MicroStation 8.11.09.xxx?

What file size you get of single i-model package *.i.dgn? - I get 140610_3D .i.dgn = 3.96 MB (4,158,976 bytes)

When publishing with Navigator Mobile Publisher, does it generates *..idgndb-issues.log file? What issues it reports?

Microstation version is 08.11.09.292

*.i.dgn size on disk is 4.12 MB (4,329,472 bytes)

No log file generated that I can see - but where would I look for it?

*.idgndb-issues.log file is placed in same directory as your new *.imodel publishes. But it is saved only if issues were encountered. After publish completes in Navigator Mobile Publisher dialog it shows publish finished and if issues found it displays them there too.

Can try reinstalling Navigator Mobile Publisher, maybe something with the installation itself. Because same version works fine on my side (Windows 7 with SP1)

I have removed NMP and re-installed from a FRESH download from Bentley's Select site. Still the same result! Only 33Kb file generated. What to try next?

Tried using simpler / different models to no avail - NMP seems to stop writing the file at  33KB every time.  PLEASSE PLEASE suggest something else to try? Must be a setting in the file?
