Importing MapInfo Tab section files as Strings with Attributes
Hi Forum,
I'm new to Micromine but not 3D modeling. Have used Vulcan since it was on a UNIX system. Anyhow, I am trying to import sections into Micromine from MapInfo, which is a GIS software program. The sections are attributed with rock and alteration type. They have the correct X values but the Y is actually the Z value since it is a section. I can bring in the TAB file using Display/CAD/GIS and using North in the 3D orientation. At least this gives me the section in the right view. But when I select all and copy string to the active layer, I loose the attributes. I tried using the File/Import/Vector Data and selecting the TAB file saving as a string file. Then using Display/Strings but the section comes in as a plan view but saves the attributes. Any ideas from the Forum?
There may be a different way that I could use but I need to be able to rotate about a line. So far I cannot find this option in Micromine. The only rotation I can find is about a point.
Thanks for your help.

I haven't found a satisfactory procedure for oblique sections.
