Hello,
I am fairly new to Bentley Map but I have taught myself to use it passably well for my purposes. Here is the issue I am having.
I received shapefiles from a client that I need to use in my plan production and design. When I import the shapefiles they come in as XFM features. I need to have a model with this linework as microstation elements instead of xfm features because the xfm features are very hard to work with when you do not have map activated. So I used map manager to export all of the shapefiles to a new model. It did exactly what I wanted for about half of the line work. The rest of the line work still appears to be Map elements. When I hover my cursor over them it is listed as "Line String: Native Feature" These native features appear to give us the same issue when trying to work with them such as changing colors, line styles, etc. What do I need to do to get these to be basic Microstation elements? I don't care to have the embedded information connected to them. If I need that I will go back to originally imported file. Any help would be much appreciated.
