ISFF Extensions

Some programs create DGN files that are not standard. ImPlant - I.exe can be configured to accept some of these extensions.
ImPlant - I.exe normally requires that surfaces made by using rules, such as capped surfaces, shall have their caps classified as PRIMARY and their rules as PRIMARY RULES.
To allow ImPlant - I.exe to accept such surfaces, in which there is always exactly one element in each cap and both the caps and the rules are classified as PRIMARY, type the command:
EXTENSION RULES PRIMARY ON
To allow ImPlant - I.exe to accept surfaces where the rules are classified as CONSTRUCTION RULES, type the command:
EXTENSION RULES CONSTRUCTION ON
Some previous versions had the first extension always enabled for certain surfaces, but not the second. The default behaviour is now for neither extension to be enabled.
To restore this default behaviour, type the command:
EXTENSION OFF
Command Line Arguments

-f <macro-filename> |
Process the specified macro file (Refer to ImPlant - I.exe Profile Macro for further information) |
|
-c <macro-filename> |
Process the specified macro file, suppressing the console banner |
|
-o <filename> |
Redirect the standard output to the specified file, for example, create a message file. |

Example
Macro_file.mac
units metre
STRUC
$m/scriptfiles/profiles_din.imp
gen macro /results/example.mac
isff /dgnfiles/inputfile1.dgn
isff /dgnfiles/inputfile2.dgn
fin
From the command line:
ImPLANT-I.exe -f 'Macro_file.mac' -o 'std_output.txt'
The command generates a .mac file called example.mac that can be loaded into Model and a report file called std_output.txt that can be read into any text editor, for example, notepad.
