3. The paths of texture map files are not stored with the texture maps in the model so enter a
semi-colon separated list of paths in Bitmap File Search Paths that the reader will search in when it
finds texture maps in the model.
Note
For 3DS texture maps to be read into JetStream Roamer, a valid Presenter license is required.
4. From the Default Units drop-down, choose the type of units that JetStream will use when opening
.3ds files. If the units turn out to be wrong, the model can be easily rescaled using the File
Transform function (see Section 11.10, “ Setting a File's Units and Transform ” for more details).
5. Click OK to set these options or Cancel to exit the dialog without setting them.
7.1.8. DGN and PRP Files
JetStream Roamer can read 3D .dgn and .prp files from Bentley's MicroStation, but does not support .cel
files or 2D .dgn files. Reference files and instances of cells are respected and the selection tree reflects
this file structure.
There is also an .nwc file exporter for MicroStation - see Section 7.2.3, “ MicroStation .nwc Exporter ” for
more details.
Note
The reader supports files from MicroStation 95, SE and /J. It does not support MicroStation
Modeller and any versions of MicroStation before 95.
The DGN reader additionally does not support auxiliary coordinate systems.
