DGN Additional Properties [CBG]
For the definition of DGN Additional Properties to be meaningful, the file must be exported in the MicroStation (*.dgn) format.
The Additional Properties section in a DGN file allows you to attach custom, user-defined information to DGN 3D elements when exported. This is especially useful in digital delivery projects, where adding metadata to objects is important.
Objects: This parameter specifies the 3D object or objects to which the Additional Property definition will be applied. To select the object or objects, click the three-dot button next to the Object parameter. In the interface that appears, click the Pick button, then choose the desired object or objects.
Property Name: This is the name of the attribute you want to define or attach. Examples include: - Bridge ID - Span ID - Span Length - Girder Length In other words, it defines what kind of information you are adding.
DGN Value Type: The data type of the property value, indicating whether the entry is stored as a number or text. Text Value: The property’s value when defined as text. Number Value: The property’s value when defined as a numeric entry, often linked to calculations or measurements. You can either assign a parametric value or reference another cell in the project by using the Copy Parameter action in the spreadsheet. The numeric value is always entered/stored in the internal unit system: inches for length and kips for force when using the imperial unit system.
