Hello,
For a special reason, I would like to draw a site plan in a 3D DGN instead of a 2D DGN, to be able to use the "elevation" element property.
Normally we would draw this type of drawing in 2D, but in this case, I want to build this plan up in different "layers".
That means, each floor on a different elevation (Z-axis height).
I was very pleased when I discovered the elevation property.... and thought that would be a great help to make my work easier.
Unfortunately, however, I can't handle this elevation property.
It starts with the fact that there are differences between the V8iSS4 and the Connect Edition Update14, which I both use.
In the V8iSS4, the elevation is displayed for certain objects in the property window, but the elevation values cannot be changed.
The other way, in the Connect Edition, I can change the elevation values with the "Set Element Elevation" tool, but I don't know how to display this value for elements ....
In the Connect Edition, the point for the element elevation is missing...., this property can not be shown.
I'm very confused about the elevation property and would be happy if you could help.
1) Why does (in MSV8iSS4) the elevation property not exist for all type of elements?
For example, if I draw a shape, the "elevation" property is shown in the property windows. But if I draw a simple line, it didn´t have.
2) Why can I no longer see the elevation values in the property window in the Connect Edition?
How can I display these values?
One optional question :)
3) Is it possible to select elements at a specific elevation?
I add 4 screen shots, with the difference between MSV8iSS4 and Connect Edition Update 14.
Many Thanks
Regards
Raphael
