Review 2D Sheets and 2D Models

It is featured that you can do 2D and 3D Reviews, yet I can only see the 3D Model.

I need to also see the Sheet Models to be reviewed. I can see all Models when I open the idgn file with Bentley View.

Also I am getting just an error when I try to upload a file that has just a 2D Model

    1. It would be very good to have the option to jump to the originating CAD file when the user hovers over the callouts. As mentioned elsewhere, it would be very useful to be able to jump directly to the CAD file to do some editing from the imodel browser.

    2. Are the CAD files somehow listed in a side panel? I suppose that the user would select the 3d object in the browser and the browser would filter for the intersecting or associated Hypermodeled 2d drawing cuts synch in with the 3d model.

    Thanks for the update. I guess iTwin needs to have models and drawings going forward together. Not only that the most infrastructure is documented still in 2D. It would help the transition to a digital twin if you could go from the current drawing based workflows to model based. At the end of the day drawings will stick around. The Drawing explains a particular situation for one craft, while the 3/4/5D Model allows to recognize issues between all involved crafts of a infrastructure project and helps solving them.

    The easier the tools are to be handled - even for the lesser CAD-literate project participants the desire to use them will rise. That looks good so far. Now you have to pick up the users where most of them are today.

    Hi Gerd/Jan,

    We are currently working on better 2D support within iTwin Design Review. We intend the app to handle any type of model, whether 2D or 3D. There will be updates coming around this functionality soon.

    I agree that 2D data support is confusing . I am able to upload i.dgn file to create a session, but when the session is opened, it fails with "No valid view definitions in imodel" error.

    What exactly does it mean? Is anything special required to be presented in 2D DGN file?

    I think that when anything is wrong with uploaded data, it should be analyzed and reported when the file is uploaded and the session prepared, so the issue will be reported e.g. invitation e-mail.
