DGN Import Option

I wasn't very excited about the early import results from DGN Importer.

No matter what settings I tried,
all my Microstation (Smart?) Solids translated as lose Faces.
While a DWG Export from Microstation was nearly lossless.
(Beside missing Materials and Asssignments)

I accidentally tried it again with v20.2.04 on Mac lately.
And not sure if I missed something or did something wrong,
but my latest attempt brought in 95% of my Solids from MS.

So if that is true and there has been some DGN Import maintenance
lately, I just want to say a big :
THANK YOU BRICSCSYS !!!

    I had the same problem when I imported a DGN from Microstation.
    All the Microstation solids came in as surfaces. I then found out that that if the DGN is saved as a DWG in MS then the Entity mapping options in MS under curved solids and surfaces needs to be set to ACIS Entity (Body or 3D Solid).
    This solved the problem.
