Exporting a DGN Model to LumenRT
Exporting a Bentley Raceway and Cable Management model to LumenRT software gives you the flexibility of using the powerful features of LumenRT for visualizing your design in real time. LumenRT transforms CAD/CG/GIS models into real-time 3D immersive scenes called LiveCubes™. LiveCubes are completely self-contained 3D environments that allow authors to place their models into a rich environmental context complete with trees, terrains, water, skies, clouds, characters, vehicles, and so on.
You can export scenes to LumenRT that include scalable mesh files (.3sm) streamed from ProjectWise ContextShare. LumenRT also supports clips applied to scalable meshes.
While exporting to LumenRT, Bentley Raceway and Cable Management automatically creates a 3 point camera with respect to the active view.
To Export a DGN Model to LumenRT
- Select the
LumenRT tool ( ).
- If LumentRT is not
installed on your machine, an alert window displays, asking if you want to
install LumenRT. Click
Yes to open the
Bentley Raceway and Cable Management Installation wizard, select
LumenRT as a Companion Product and click
Modify.
Bentley Raceway and Cable Management exports the model to a .lob file and opens the file in LumenRT.
About Animating with VISSIM Traffic
VISSIM traffic animations can be attached to the DGN file while exporting to LumenRT. You need the VISSIM traffic animation text file (VISSIM ani.txt) to attach the VISSIM traffic simulation to the DGN file. For information on creating VISSIM traffic animation text file, refer to VISSIM documentation. Once attached and exported to LumenRT, you see the traffic simulation running in LumenRT.
To Export a DGN Model with VISSIM Traffic to LumenRT
- Open the LumenRT Settings
dialog (
).
- Turn on the Use VISSIM check box.
- (Optional) Set Vissim offset.
- Click OK.
- Select the
LumenRT tool ( ).
- In the Select Vissim File dialog that opens, select the VISSIM traffic animation text file (.txt) and click Open.
- If LumentRT is not
installed on your machine, an alert window displays, asking if you want to
install LumenRT. Click
Yes to open the
Bentley Raceway and Cable Management Installation wizard, select
LumenRT as a Companion Product and click
