DGN files are notorious for being strewn with many basic geometric elements, and this importer goes to great efforts to reduce these. Smart "welding" of multitudes of DGN basic elements (arcs, lines, b-spline curves, etc) into single, more complex geometric entities.Conversion of analytical ellipses into equivalent polylines or 3D discs.Conversion of connected 3D lines elements into either an exact internal 3D polyline representation.Import of lines, line paths, complex polygons, complex paths, complex surfaces, shared cells, complex extrusions, complex surface of revolutions, solids, BREP solids (Parasolid/ACIS), meshes, multi-lines and polygons.

The DGN importer is sold as part of the Granite/Pack license due to its dependency on our BREP solids technology. Reduce the geometry's fidelity in any manner). Scene can be re-purposed to other programs and file formats (this optimization does not Importer focuses entirely on it being a "stepping stone", allowing very complex DGNįiles to be imported then highly optimized/manipulated so that the final compact Much of the complexity also comes from the fact that large DGN files just can'tīe blindly imported into programs such as 3ds Max, Maya, Softimage, Lightwave, CINEMA-4DĪnd other down-stream file formats or programs such as Adobe Acrobat. Okino has worked on this DGN importerĪnd its previous R&D investigations since 1996! It is the longest-in-developmentģD converter in Okino's history - this is due to the extreme complexity of the DGNįile format and the lack of any published information. Goes a long way to take the raw elemental DGN data and turn the data into something mostģD rendering and animation packages can handle. Rather complex to interpret and turn into a simple and clean 3D model.

Needless to say, the DGN file format is steeped in decades-long history and is The corresponding DGN exporter online documentation can be found here.

This is probably the most complex 3D DGN importer which presently exists which isĮxemplified by the following documentation.
