Batch - Create Solid DGN
Used to process all drawings in a
selected directory into Solid DGN files as a batch to avoid the need to
process drawings individually.
If you process 3D-models using other 3D-programs, it often is necessary to convert the existing OpenBridge Modeler - component parts into simple solid objects. Then you must select the component parts you want to convert.
CAUTION: The
converted component parts do not retain their
OpenBridge Modeler-intelligence such as shape
reference, logical links etc. The body, however, is inserted additionally and
the original component part is only hidden.
Accessed from:
All drawings in the directory are processed automatically and the converted drawings are saved in another directory.
Setting | Description |
---|---|
Source Directory | Sets the directory containing the drawings you want to have converted automatically. |
Target Directory | Sets the directory where you want to save all converted drawings. |
Compress Drawings | When checked, compresses each drawing before it is saved. |
Recursive with sub directories | When checked, processes drawings in sub-folders of the Source Directory in addition. |
Groups completely | When checked, converts each component part group as a common solid-body into only one volume. Otherwise, each component part of the group is converted individually. |
Keep Resolution | When checked, retains the resolution of the component parts (without radii etc.) individually, per part. Otherwise, the conversion to solid object is created with the maximum possible resolution. |
Delete after conversion | When checked, completely deletes the original component parts after the conversion, rather than set them to hidden. |
Keep level | When checked, keeps the solid parts on the same level of the original component part. Otherwise, all parts are created on the current level. |
