Instructions for use

This tool can be used to import BIM data produced by Bentley MicroStation in *.dgn format and to add a model dataest node to the target datasource. To use the tool in the Windows operating system architecture, Windows 10 and above are required.

This tool supports the import of shared units in DGN data in the form of point-attached external model, and the import of non-shared units in the form of model dataest.

Parameter Description

Parameter Name	Parameter Description	Parameter Type
File Path	Enter source DGN data.	String
Target Datasource (Optional)	Select the datasource where the result dataset is stored. If Target Datasource and Datasource Connection Info are set at the same time, only Target Datasource is valid. Please set it properly as required.	Datasource
Datasource Connection Info (Optional)	Select or create datasource in the specified path to store the result dataset. When selecting the existing data source, it will prompt "The file already exists, do you want to append the write". If Target Datasource and Datasource Connection Info are set at the same time, only Target Datasource is valid. Please set it properly as required. With the datasource connection mode, the data import task will be executed in the child process. Note: You cannot use the same connection information for multiple imports.	String
Model Storage Path: (Optional)	Sets the storage path for the model Object (*.s3mb). When there is a shared unit in the DGN data, it will be imported in the form of point plus plug-in model, and the plug-in model will be stored under the specified path. If point dataset and model object are stored in the same disk, record the relative path of model storage in the model name field of point dataset (./Model Storage Folder/Model Filename.s3mb); otherwise, record the absolute path to the model store.	String
X (Optional)	Enter an X coordinate value or a longitude value that, along with Y and Z, determines the geographic origin of reference for the model. Georeferencing Origin The GCS (Projected Coordinate System or Geographic Coordinate System) used to determine a base point in the data.	Double
Y (Optional)	Enter the Y coordinate or latitude of the geographic origin.	Double
Z (Optional)	Enter the Z coordinate or height value of the geographic origin.	Double
Import Line Objects (Optional)	Sets whether to import line objects in Data.	Boolean
Store Custom Grouping Attributes (Optional)	Sets whether to store the custom property grouping of model elements to the dataset's attribute list. If it is checked, the attribute will be grouped and stored, and property field GroupedCustomAttribute will be added in result dataset. The attribute value is the binary stream of the user-defined grouping attributes, which only supports the Web side resolution. On the contrary, it is not stored in groups, and the user-defined grouping attribute is directly written into the attribute list of Result Dataset. Note：After importing data , when loading data into the scene and inspecting attributes, avoid double-clicking the GroupedCustomAttribute property value to prevent unintended modifications to custom grouping attributes.	Boolean
Material Library Path (Optional)	In environments where Bentley MicroStation software is not installed, the material library path needs to be specified manually; if it is installed, it does not need to be set and will be automatically obtained from the registry.	String
Coordinate System Settings (Optional)	Sets the target coordinate system information for result data. See the Projected Coordinate System Settings for the specific operation steps.	Integer
