Hello everyone,

I looked at thread DGN writer RGB color | Community and I am dealing with the same problem.

Ideally I would like to get the RGB color (true values) instead of the colorindex from the color table.

I read in the above thread that true color should be available from FME Form 2023 on, but I still get the index number from the color table. Iam using FME Form 2024.2.1 by the way.

I do the following thing

  1. I have a dgn styler configurated as follows
  2. in the Writer I use a seedfile with RGB values for the layers
  3. Output is 

     

Am I doing somethign wrong or are true colors not yet available in FME 2024.2.1?

Hi ​@joy 

We currently only support true colour writing on an individual element, but don't currently support setting level colours to true colours.

We are doing some work on the DGN format, however, and we will be adding support for setting level colours to true colours (Internal Note: FMEENGINE-87351 & FMEENGINE-88387). 
I can let you know once we have added support for this. 🙂
