RE: Compressing design changes features definition?
Daniel,
Attached is a modified version of your source in which I have used the XFM event system to define your feature class definitions during Bentley Map startup in such a way that the business property data types are as expected. For this to work…
RE: Extrude 2D building polygons to 3D
Tim,
Unfortunately it would be more than a simple recompile. The extrude1 application requires the use of Bentley Map which is not available for the MicroStation CONNECT Edition platform.
RE: Compressing design changes features definition?
Daniel,
For 1 are you saying the previously reported issue involving file compress has been fixed? Also you should be aware that xfmFeatureDef_get/setKeepInSession functions are available which can be used to keep a feature definition in the session…
- Create XFM DGN file using Import from database
Using OpenCities Map to import spatial data from Oracle (read-only), SQL Server (read-only), WFS (read-only), and Esri File Geodatabase (read-only) creates a self-contained DGN file with XFM features.
This allows you to work in a disconnected environment…

RE: [V8i SS3 VBA] Get Fillcolor and Patterninfo from Polygon Collection feature
Martin,
Please be aware that you can use "File > Save As..." with "Options > XFM > Convert from 08.11.09.xx to 08.11.07.xx" selected to create a design file with the type 106 polygon collection elements converted to associative regions.
RE: [V8i SS3 VBA] Get Fillcolor and Patterninfo from Polygon Collection feature
Martin,
The shape elements are stored as sub-features in the XFM type 106 polygon collection. The following bold Bentley Map VBA code should give you an idea of how you can traverse the polygon collection and obtain information from each sub-feature…
RE: Problem with polygons in Bentley Map/PowerMap
Use the Save as... command to update the XFM data model. Review the Options to ensure that the setting is 07.xx to 09.xx.
RE: XFM Features in Microstation
You can remove the XFM attributes from the elements by using the Export to MicroStation Elements command in the Map Manager. To do this, initialize Bentley Map, open the Map Manager, then right-click on the Layer that you need to change. Select the Export…

RE: GeoScripting outdated?
Uwe,
As you may know, the Bentley Map scripting engine capabilities were originally developed for MicroStation GeoGraphics some ~17 years ago, before VBA was available in the MicroStation platform. Users that have invested time and effort to learn the…
RE: GeoScripting outdated?
Uwe,
You are correct in that Bentley Map no longer uses a FEATURE table. The Bentley Geospatial Administrator is used to define feature classes and associated business properties, along with other aspects of an XFM project.
