Question

Read only the Default model in Microstation DGN


Forum|alt.badge.img

We have dgns that have multiple models (both design and sheet models). When I am writing these features to another file (fairly obscure Graphic Technologies, GTViewer files) it takes the elements from all of the models in the DGN. How can I set FME to only read the features from ONLY the "default" model?

Hello!

 

 

When you add your DGN reader to FME, you can click on "Parameters", then choose to Group Elements by Level Names. Click OK. Make sure Workflow Options is set to "Individual Feature Types", then click OK.

 

The Feature Type dialog will appear. Deselect all feature types, except for "Default". Click OK. This will only read the Default layer from your input DGN.

I hope this helps!

Hi @candimk

while you can not limit the reading to selected models only, you can filter the features you have read by igds_model_id or igds_model_name. I.e. please add Tester, TestFilter, or AttributeFilter right after the DGN Reader and filter out all not needed features.
