Would be amazing( Very useful) to link/ed 3d MicroStation/AECOsim models /Materials Maps/ directly and use a 3ds max and V-ray as the best rendering solution for MicroStation users.

I totally agree, having DGN import/link would be very helpful. I have training clients that are stuck in the world of DGN files and it would be great for them to be able to use them directly in 3ds Max.

I know that the devs are always looking to expand the interop capabilities of 3ds Max.   @sschain, are those programs able to export other formats?  The thread is a bit old and I'm not familiar with those packages but these days most have the ability to export multiple formats.  Or is it specifically native support that you want?

 

It might be worth putting in a Feature Request.

Microstation has the ability to save as DWG, but some of the data can get lost or modified.  My experience with Microstation (DGN files) has largely been on transportation projects, where the local Department of Transportation requires the use of Microstation versus AutoCAD.  

 

One thing I really like about Microstation is the connection to Google Earth, and being able to output a KMZ file that let's you see your linework overlaid on the area.  Hint, hint, Autodesk... 🙂
