| Setting | Description |

| Promote Mode
|
Sets the desired mode to element being promoted to
node.
- Promote — promotes
the selected
MicroStation element to a
GenerativeComponents node.
- Reference —
references the selected element as per Promote Type set.
- Promote Type — a
type selected from the pull down list sets as reference.
For example, if Promote Type = Polygon, then you can select
that polygon just once since it used as an "ElementPath" in
Polygon.ByElement in Graph. As it is a
MicroStation element referenced for
GenerativeComponents Node, so you cannot
reference same element again.
