iModel file - Views disappear when processed by Navigator Mobile Publisher

Offline Anthony Charnley over 9 years ago

Anyone come across this?

I have a 5MB Microstation file (contains a zMapping reference file) which I previously was able to view on my iPad Air via NMP.

It looked terrible - garish colours- and all the views were not as desired, so I went back and changed the original file to simplify the colours. Tried to delete the existing saved views, then created 18 new ones, published it to iModel with Microstation v8i SS3 and then published it again using NMP.

When I load the file either within NMP or on the iPad it is an 'empty' file - no views there to click on and load.

Any thought as to what can be the problem / how to solve it? I can see the file and all its views fine in a 3D PDF using the 'Print to 3D' function.

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?
