 I have one question regarding the 3D model conversions. 
 I am using prostructures v8i S6 on the top of AUTOCAD. 
 Is it possible to convert the position numbers of the Prosteel profiles in the Navis product.Just I want to see the position</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: General_Conversion</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/414746?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 05 Jun 2017 23:23:49 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:22329ab0-60c3-47e1-98f9-2e04b2fedeb2</guid><dc:creator>lamensterms</dc:creator><description>If you are attempting to show ProSteel data in Navisworks, I recommend the NWCOUT option posted above.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you would like to assign ProSteel data to AutoCAD 3D solids, your options are very limited.  You could assign each part position number to an individual layer.  Or you could create blocks out of each part and use the position number as the block name.  Neither option is very elegant.  And I imagine you will need a custom LISP program for both.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: General_Conversion</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/414431?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 02 Jun 2017 10:07:41 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:a9fc1abc-9149-443f-ba32-06ad4d293bf7</guid><dc:creator> Prabhakaran.P</dc:creator><description>Dear Lamensterms,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes I need only the Position numbers from prosteel to Autocad or In microstation.&lt;br /&gt;
Is it possible to convert the position numbers of the Prosteel profiles in the Navis product.Just I want to see the position number of files in the Autodesk Navis Product.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: General_Conversion</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/413081?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 18 May 2017 23:25:06 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:6d9d782f-5689-45a1-80ff-7c73e22853fe</guid><dc:creator>lamensterms</dc:creator><description>You can use the command PS_CREATE_ACIS to convert your model into AutoCAD solids.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would be possible to attach a part&amp;#39;s ProSteel data to an AutoCAD solid, as XDATA.... but not without a custom function/routine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is not natively supported by ProSteel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Is it only the part position numbers you require?  Or other ProSteel data as well?&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: General_Conversion</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/413024?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 18 May 2017 13:05:43 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:df2777a4-d913-42f7-9dd1-1c3d71a74184</guid><dc:creator> Prabhakaran.P</dc:creator><description>&lt;p style="margin-left:30px;"&gt;Dear lamensterms,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:30px;"&gt;Thanks for your brief&amp;nbsp;answers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:30px;"&gt;Is it possible to convert the 3D Model&amp;nbsp;Prosteel position numbers into pure Acad 3D model.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: General_Conversion</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/413007?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 18 May 2017 07:56:32 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:27b6c622-d106-4b70-aaf9-7965edf4d292</guid><dc:creator>lamensterms</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;If you use the Navisworks export tool (NWCOUT) from ACAD, you should be able to see some basic ProSteel PART data within Navisworks properties palette.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please note that it can be very difficult to produce an accurate Navisworks model of ProSteel elements.&amp;nbsp; For example:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.&amp;nbsp; Each part must have &amp;quot;Solid Kernel&amp;quot; display DISABLED.&amp;nbsp; Parts will not be visible in Naviwsworks with Solid Kernel disable enabled.&amp;nbsp; This means that some boolean modifictions will not be visible in Navisworks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.&amp;nbsp; You must have the correct ProSteel Navisworks object enabler.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check out the forum thread (link below) for further discussion on the topic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;d be interested to hear if anyone has got this working well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://communities.bentley.com/products/structural/drafting___detailing/f/343337/t/92635"&gt;communities.bentley.com/.../92635&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In Series8 there is an direct IFC Export.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;IFC contains the Position number.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
