How to Combine BGL files

[nigelgrant]

Following on from another post where I described problems creating a perimeter fence for CYVR, I now have completed the fence which consists of 46 separate BGL files for its 46 individual segments. I would like to combine these into a single BGL file.

I have tried using SCLINK, but so far without success - is there any tutorial available on SCLINK and is this the most appropriate program now foir this process?

Hi Nigel,

Why would not create a single XML file that references all your fence models at the appropriate locations, and compile that? You'll get a single BGL.

Hi Nigel,

Better try what Jon already suggested. ScLink does not support the Fs2004 BGL format, so that is never going to work.

Combining everything into one XML file is certainly a good approach. If you re-use a certain MDL object you could even drop some ModelData commands and call the same GUID multiple times.

So Nigel as we found offline, you were copying and pasting in multiple copies of the XML header and footer:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<FSData version="9.0" xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="bglcomp.xsd">

<XML code>	
</FSData>

There can only be one set per file.
