RE: [BM SS4] User Data Linkages and Group Hole Elements
Bruce, thank you for that confirmation. If you could send me one more sample design file that contains shapes, complex shapes and grouped holes connecting to at least 3 different MSLINK values then I will complete verification testing of my revised code…
RE: [BM SS4] User Data Linkages and Group Hole Elements
Bruce,
When I developed the example promote1.mvba I tested using both shape, complex shape and grouped hole elements. The fact that you indicated a property enumerator was not being returned for a DFS inferred feature instance leads me to suspect your…
RE: [BM SS4] User Data Linkages and Group Hole Elements
Bruce,
I've confirmed the reported behavior of the "Promote" process not retaining database linkages when processing grouped hole elements. Upon further investigation have determined that this is a known issue with an existing Bentley Map defect on…
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.
- 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: 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: creat database in Bentley Map Enterprise v8i (SELECT series3)
To add properties, open the XFM Schema with the Geospatial Administrator. Then Browse to your Feature, right-click on the Properties item, and select Add > and the type of property you wish to include.
And this is how it looks in the GSA:
RE: Insert Vertex in Map SS3 different
Hello Maik, That was a known issue. It has been fixed in Bentley Map V8i Ss4. Sorry for the inconvenient. Best Regards, Sebastien Lefrancois [Bentley]
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RE: GeoScripting outdated?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.
The scripting engine of…
PowerMap v8i, duplicate XFM1 feature UUIDs and saving DGN to Map SS4 XFM2 features
We are currently migrating from PowerMap v8i to Map PowerView and Map Standalone SS4. Since we use PowerMap for many years we have many dgn-s to convert to new version of XFM. First problem is that when we save some of our dgn-s in new format (from 08…
