Paul, For the next major Bentley Map Mobile release, we are working towards having a Technology Preview release early next year. There really is no direct computation for determining the eventual .imodel file size based on the raster file size. I…

Greetings Paul, At this time, there is no alternative other than allow Bentley Map Mobile Publisher to package the raster reference file attachments into the Bentley Map Mobile .imodel file. As you may know, you can use the MS_RASTER_DOWNSAMPLING_PREFSIZE_FORIMODEL…

Joshuah, The Bentley Map V8i (SELECTseries 4) 08.11.09.836 version noted in your post should provide the ability to reference attach the .markupdb files. You should see the following file type in the "File Open" dialog... ...and the same as seen…

Alan, The process by which the Bentley Map Mobile Converter can be used to generate changesets for distribution to Bentley Map Mobile users can be summarized as follows: Use Bentley Map Mobile Converter to create a baseline Bentley Map Mobile .imodel…

Jan, The latest Bentley Map Mobile Publisher 05.05.02.11 commercial release includes the new Bentley Map Mobile Converter , a 64-bit standalone command line tool (MapMobileConverter.exe), that runs from a Windows command shell, does not require use…

Jan, You are correct. During the Bentley Map Mobile Publisher process, a temporary .i.dgn file is created, then converted into .imodel format. The Bentley Map Mobile Converter process does not create an intermediate file, going directly from design…

Thad, Please refer to this discussion for more information about media contained in Bentley Map Mobile redline files.

Alan, As always, your feedback is welcomed. The previously mentioned "Bentley Map Mobile - Markup Explorer" will include a standalone Windows application and Bentley Map add-in, providing users the ability to search, sort, group, view, extract, report…

Alan, At this time, the Bentley Map extension that provides the ability to reference attach a Bentley Map Mobile redline (.markupdb) file does not support access to the embedded media. Later this year, we plan to release a new "Bentley Map Mobile…

Cliff, We appreciate that update, good to know. In the next Bentley Map Mobile update, the redline data should be saved to the .markupdb file as it is being created, thus eliminating the need for this extra step.

Cliff, You are correct. By design, the .markupdb files which contain the redline data are not visible to the Bentley Map Mobile app. These .markupdb files are intended for use in downstream workflows whereas users can reference attach or open them in…

Cliff, Based upon your earlier reports, we reviewed possible scenarios in which new redline data would not be saved to the .markupdb file. We confirmed that use of the back arrow... ...located in the upper left is currently required to exit redline…

Cliff, Yes, this should be possible using capabilities provided in the Bentley Map product line as outlined here . We've other survey companies using Bentley Map to collect survey data and produce various forms of deliverables. Specifics on the RTK…

Cliff, The redline data collected in Bentley Map Mobile is stored separately on the device in a .markupdb file. On iOS the .markupdb file is accessible in the Bentley Map Mobile documents folder using iTunes. Uploading one or more selected redline layers…

...yes Cliff, assigning a geographic coordinate system in the design file before running the Bentley Map Mobile Publisher process should correct this issue.

Cliff, It is good to hear that you've made progress. When creating i-models that contain raster data, a 94mb file size is not unexpected. In fact, depending on the amount of raster and the selected raster image downsampling applied, the i-model could…

The Bentley Map Mobile - Quick Start Guide shows all of the menu items. Redline functionality is available in the right-edge Action Center The icons change on the left hand menu to perform Redline tasks:

Greetings Cliff, Yes, you can use Bentley Map Mobile Publisher to produce Bentley Map Mobile i-models from Bentley Map and MicroStation data for use in mobile workflows. Please refer to the following resources for additional information: Bentley…

Cliff, Yes, Bentley Map Mobile is designed for field checking scenarios. You will need to install the Bentley Map Mobile Publisher, which works with Bentley Map to create the i-models. There are three editions of Bentley Map Mobile, one each for iOS…

To further clarify Jeff’s response, Bentley’s mobile applications are typically free to download and install but do require a Bentley CONNECTIONS Passport and a Bentley CONNECT login for use. I agree that the web page is misleading and it will be updated…
