Hi all,
I've drawing as a SmartSolid in Microstation with tag attributes.But, FME recognized my solid drawing as wireframe of solid. So how can i re-solid of this wireframe? or how can i import data as a Solid? not a wireframe.I also need to tag attribute value on solid in FME. So I don't want to lose them.
Thanks.
Unfortunately, smart solids aren't supported in FME. At least, it won't read them as a solid, just a wireframe. FME 2018 had support for simple solids. 2019 has support for meshes. So I hope that means smart solids will be supported soon too.
The workaround I've used is to convert my smart solids to meshes - which is straightforward enough in MicroStation - and then FME can read them. They aren't true solids, but they look like solids, if that's all you care about.

Hi Mark,
I solved using by converting all solids to meshes.Thanks for your comment. It's very helpful.
Thanks again.

Hi @mark2atsafe . Are 'smart surfaces' supported yet in any versions, or will that also be in a future release?

Hello candemiroguz,
I am facing an issue very similar, what I've managed is to create meshes from areas but it wont work for the wireframes that come from Solid Form. It's been long since this has been posted but could you maybe offer some insight on your solution?
Thank you very much

Hi @edidimand ,
It's been very long time. But i re-checked on Microstation how i can solve this problem. Then i realized "Mesh From Element" tool in Mesh section. So, i think if you can use on your solid elements, the problem is solved.
Thank you
