Hello Erik, When XFM / DFS recognizes an element in a feature class that is new to the session (either not defined in the XFM schema or previously inferred from some element), then if the element is a closed element, a polygon collection feature…

Karl, It sounds as if the Dynamic Feature Scoring (DFS) may be finding at least one feature occurence in your design file which has no RDBMS linkages before all of the other occurances with the linkages. When this happens, the inferred feature class…

Rob, Using the provided schema, I was able to perform the following: Open schema.xml in the Bentley Geospatial Administrator, modifying a few paths to accomodate my local Bentley Map installation. Exported workspace. Created new work…

Alan, Depending on your exact needs, the following configuration variables may be helpful. MS_GEOXFM_NO_CLOSEDELEMENTCOLLECTIONS - If set to any value, disables dynamic feature scoring from automatically inferring closed regions as polygon collections…

Greetings Jean-Claude, There are as you know roughly ~600 drawing levels in the provided DWG file when opened in MicroStation. By default, when Bentley Map opens files containing graphic data that is not native XFM features, the DFS system attempts…

Greetings Holger, First some background. In Bentley Map the Dynamic Feature Scoring (DFS) technology is similar to that of the "ATTACH BEST FEATURE" command from the MicroStation GeoGraphics product in which various element criteria was evaluated in…

Morten, First Bentley Map is a "feature based" as opposed to the "level based" system of MicroStation. Technologies such as " Dynamic Feature Scoring " (DFS) exist to allow Bentley Map to consume well structured "level" based data as "inferred features…

Rob, You should be able to use the described RESET FEATURE technique with linear features (e.g. lines, linestrings, curvestrings etc...) as well, just as long as the line/linestring elements are created on the level which match that defined in…

Rob, To convert the shapes you've created into individual structure_existing_area_collection feature instances, you should be able to use the following workflow: Use your originally defined schema that contains the structure_existing_area_collection…

Karl, You should be able to use the " Change Attributes " command along with a " Fence Filter " to move your elements to a new level. For example... Make a copy of your design file for backup purposes until you have validated the changes. …
