Do you have Use Level Symbology Overrides ticked? Your level (layer) colours are overrides not layer colours so you need to have this ticked in the export options otherwise it will use the layer settings which are all set to the same colour.

Wiki Page: Selecting objects and context-sensitive menus

Bentley Facilities Planner dialog box has a context sensitive pop-up menu, which opens when you click the right button of the mouse. Pop-up menus are also available by pressing the right-clicking in a MicroStation view window. Pop-up menus are context sensitive. They display certain options which depend on what element or object lies under the cursor when the button is clicked. These options are described in the relevant sections of the manual, but it is important that this behavior in the graphics environment be understood. If you right click in an open area of graphics, which contain no Bentley Facilities Planner objects, only a small number of options are available to allow you to display. If however a Bentley Facilities Planner object lies under the cursor, additional options appear as displayed in left side pictures. The generic options that appear on all pop-up menus are defined when the model dataset is configured. In the demonstration model they consist of: Search, Create Asset, Create Area, Class Filter, Asset Display, Label Display, Facility Maps There are many occasions when it is useful to be able to exclude the selection of classes. For instance, you may wish to modify the attributes of a PC that is located on a desk in the corner of a room located in the corner of a floor in a building. When you try to select the PC, it is possible for the selection to pick up the building, floor, room, desk or PC. The Class Filter dialog box allows you to disable selection of the classes you do not require, in this case the furniture, room, floor and building classes You exclude selection of a class by setting its check box, or include it by clearing its check box. You can exclude all classes by clicking Select All or include all classes by clicking Deselect All. Those classes that are excluded from selection display with their check box's turned on

Hi, Are terrain materials (terrain layers?) and object materials found on completely different palettes? Is it possible for the terrain and a model to use the same material? As part of the model I have imported into Lumen, I have a level that depicts the ground level / ground profile, and was hoping to have a seamless merge between that level and the LumenRT environment, but I can't get the two to use the same material, preferably that of the environment. I've included a screen clip below that might help illustrate the problem. Thanks!

Also, be sure to visit ProStructures forum on Bentley Communities to keep up to date with the latest information on Blogs, Wiki's, Announcements and Support Forums. The Positioning tool is now available on both the Steel and Concrete ribbons ( Steel | Concrete > Drawing Production | Data/Reporting > Numbering) Back to top ProSteel NC DSTV improvements Generate NC for unfolded flanged plates with a single bend. Concentric holes are intercepted and reported in the log file for BO (holes) blocks. Inner contour calculations for complicated circular inner cuts. Refined M profile edge preparation. Higher precision calculation for saw length of shapes. DetailCenter improvements Fractional dimensions now can be optionally controlled from MicroStation styles or from within the DetailStyle new fraction style option is added to ProSteel place label command. Revision Center is now quickly accessible via the ribbon ( Steel > Drawing Production > Detailing ). Previously accessible only from Detail Center. The Drawing Verification feature now generates two reports in the form of the OriginInsertionStructure.txt and VerifiedInsertionStructure.txt log files for all workshop drawings linked drawings in the model. New connections Stiffener Distribution tool is introduced as a Technology Preview . Used for creating multiple stiffeners and placing them distributed along the steel shape. Cross Bolting tool is introduced as a Technology Preview . Used for creating cross bolting connections between shapes and plates. External Partlist The need to detect part differences before generating external partlist databases can now be achieved via Position Number Checks introduced in the Partlist Creation workflow. Equal Part Settings along with the Edit Compare Criteria button allow you to manage the checking of component parts. Desired criteria selection and comparison methods are set in the Positionflags and Positioning Rules dialog. Back to top ProConcrete Associative Slice A new Associative Slice tool is introduced as a Technology Preview . Used for creating associative cross-section slices on a given solid along a path. This functionality further aids detailers when reinforcing complex shapes, especially solids that are extruded on arcs and curves. Improved Irregular Dispatch Reinforcing Previously, the use of Irregular Dispatch Reinforcement on Associative Intersections, on some occasions, yielded distorted bars which had to be manually corrected by reversing guidelines. The enhanced workflow now takes care of guideline direction, modeling correct geometry for bars, and restricts reversing guideline directions only to create crossed bars. It is no longer required to reverse bars because of bar crossing. Additionally, bars with reversed guidelines are now marked to be visually distinguishable and can be toggled, when required to generate normal bars. Previously (possible situation) Now Marked Reversed Guidelines Improved Lapped Bars Detailing Previously, lapped range bars were detailed as a whole run and had one delimiter. The newly added variable called DOLG can be found in display.sys file which controls the detailing behaviors of such bars.If detailing lapped range bars as the whole run with one delimiter is required DOLG = 0 has to be used. If each bar range requires a separate delimiter, set DOLG = 1 Letter Appended Bar Marks for Vary Set Bars Ability to add Letter Appended Barmarks has now included in Options Tab in all reinforcement tools that have Vary Sets capabilities. Because of that, it is now possible to have bars in one Vary Set labeled as i.e. 11a, 11b, 11c and so on. Item Type Properties in Rebar Labels Item Types with Custom, User Properties can be added to Concrete and Reinforcement elements. Those properties can be then included in Rebar Labels using the following code structure: ${ItemType.ItemProperty} Back to top Power Platform Connect Licensing This product version utilizes CONNECT Licensing, which is not supported by SELECT activation key(s).

Hi, I'm designing a Moment End Plate Beam Splice Connection. In this, web weld strength to reach yield stress is checked with reference from Eqns J2-4 & J4-1 from AISC-2010. I would like to understand why is the tensile yielding of web is checked against the weld strength. Isn't this check applicable only for affected elements of members and connecting elements like plates, gussets, etc?
