Hi, Has anyone had any issues placing in 3D symbols via cell file into FME DGN styler? It seems as soon as a solid or surface is involved the symbol dies not show correctly i.e these elements are missing. any advice thanks?

dgn styler - 3D symbols

Do you have any existing DGN with 3D solid in it. I believe it must be V8 DGB file to support this
Add a reader and expose some of these format attributes.https://docs.safe.com/fme/2025.1/html/FME-Form-Documentation/FME-Transformers/Transformers/dgnstyler.htm
FME igds_type= IGDS Element Type
You may need a 3D forcer transformer or inspect and confirm the feature you are passing into the DGN Styler is indeed 3D in its geometry

the points are coming in as 3D dimension prior to the dgn styler, the symbol is coming out as - igds_line. Also, now not even the correct colour is coming through it changes the line to a different colour.

Hi
Apologies for the late response. The issue of the DGNStyler dropping certain parts of a 3D cell sounds similar to an issue we have tracked internally as FMEENGINE-88195. Would you be able to send your cell library to double check that it’s the same issue?
If it is the same issue, our development team is aware of it, but there is currently no timeline on a fix. We are currently working on a rewrite for the DGN format which would mean having a new reader and writer. The issue may be addressed there with the DGN rewrite, but unfortunately I cannot provide a timeline on that.
We are also looking for beta testers for this rewrite when it gets to that stage, would you be interested in participating? It would be a good way to put forward this and other issues you've been facing with the DGN format to the development team.
