Hai everyone,
I am new to microstation. So kindly bear my ignorance and offer me help. I have a .dgn file of a major highway interchange from which I have to extract profile information of the roads. Is it possible to extract .tin file from a .dgn file ?The file has lot of layers in it. Also there are texts in drawing, like " name_of_road.tin". Does this mean that the tin file is associated with the .dgn file. ?
I can upload some screen shots of the .dgn file but i dont see an attach option in this thread.
Kindly help.
Why don't you use autocad civil 3d. to extract the profile data?
What do you mean with "extract"?
Do you need profiles plans or some reports?
What Bentley Civil application do you use?
Regards
Frank

Are you trying to re-create (reverse engineer) the road design in AutoCAD C3D, or just trying to create a ground triangulation for the existing situation - through which you then want to take profiles?
@ Frank - Yes. I need profile plans of the roads and bridges. I am Microstation V8i
@ Mark - Yes. I am trying to recreate the existing roads in autocad civil 3d. I have created alignments and intersections. I need profile plans of the roads to make the model complete. My source has given me .dgn file and asked me to use the file to get the profile plans, which I am not able to do.
Thank you.
Than yogman
