OpenBridge Modeler Dynamic Views Workflow
Definitions
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Design Model | The 3D BIM model (.dgn) |
| Drawing Model | A 2D model container in which a Dynamic View is stored. |
| Sheet Model | A 2D or 3D model container that typically includes a referenced sheet border |
| Design Annotation | 3D labels, model annotation |
| Drawing Annotation | Labels, dimensions, notes, callouts, appropriate for a drawing (includes 2D symbolic rebar labels and dimensions) |
| Sheet Annotation | Only the notes, labels, callouts appropriate for a sheet (general notes, sheet name) |
Workflow Considerations
- All Rebar in OpenBridge Modeler must belong to a concrete object – either a OpenBridge Modeler parametric object or a promoted solid.
- The 3D Rebar (child) and the concrete object (parent) must be placed in the same DGN file.
- Rebar may protrude outside the extents of its parent concrete (even entirely outside) and may extend over multiple concrete objects.
- Concrete and Rebar objects both have their own levels, colors, line weights, etc.
- All drawing models with 2D symbolic rebar must be saved to the 3D DGN file containing the concrete and rebar objects. Tip: Uncheck the Filename option in the Create Drawing dialog to use 2D symbolic rebar in Dynamic Views.Drawing models with no 2D symbolic rebar (i.e., 3D only) may be sent to another file. However, all rebar labeling and dimensioning must be done manually using standard MicroStation commands using this option and is thus not the recommneded method.
