Materials
Warning: DgnV8_0057
Warning message: "The texture 'File_Name.jpg' used in material 'Material_name' used in file '1-1111-S-001' either could not be located or could not be loaded."
Issue:
- The required textures used in the material are missing in the iModel.
Cause:
- The required textures used in the materials are missing from the material folder.
- Textures are not configured properly in the DGN file.
Solution:
The textures can be solved by fixing the paths of textures (PNG\JPG) files used in materials using the Material Editor dialog in the Bentley design application. The dialog can be launched using search-> Material Editor.
- Open the .dgn file in the Bentley Design application (If it is on ProjectWise-> Right click and open in the Bentley Design application)
- Check the material of the element in right click properties panel.
- Open the material editor dialog (Keyin-> Material Editor).
- Select the Material from the list.
- Click on the Surface->folder button.
- It opens the below dialog and from the dropdown list select the Pattern, Normal, and all enabled properties.
- Select one for example: a pattern and see the texture brick12baseColor.jpg file associated with it. Similarly, check for all enabled options.
- Click on the Open Image folder and check if it opens the folder where the same textures (PNG\JPG) file is available
- If textures (PNG\JPG) files are not there then copy them in the same folder.
Note: After the Design Application product is installed (for example OpenBuilding Designer) product textures and patterns are available in the default location C:\ProgramData\Bentley\connectsharedcontent\materials, so make sure these files are copied to the workspace materials folder while creating the managed workspace on ProjectWise.

Info: DgnV8_0005
Info message: "No model found for <x>. It will not be added to view < y>"
Issue:
Model is not added to the view.
Cause:
Model was not found and it was failed to convert one of the models used in view x.
Solution:
When there is related issue to model (x), after resolving that issue model should be added to the view (y). - Please check the Synchronization Report for other errors that contain the same model (x) issue, this might be the root cause of why the model is not found. Refer to the root error on Communities, solve issue with the provided solution, re-run synchronization and model should be added to the view.

Warning: DgnV8_0063, DgnV8_0064
Info Message DgnV8_0063: Texture 'C:\stagingDir\d0246137\TextureFile.jpg' for material 'Material' is of unsupported PBR material type.
Info Message DgnV8_0064: The texture 'C:\stagingDir\d0246138\TextureFile.jpg' in material 'Material' uses 'Solid' mapping mode which is unsupported. The material will be dropped. Please change the mapping mode to a supported mode.
Material types and texture mapping modes
Supported texture mapping modes in iModels:
- Elevation Drape
- Parametric
- Planar
More information about each mapping mode:

Level
Info:DgnV8_0044
Info message: "Level [Level name] has a different definition in [path name] than in other files or attachments: weight/color/style (x vs. y).""
Issue:
Same name level carries distinct values across associated files.
Cause:
Level sharing the same name across related files which have different definitions for line color, weight or style.
Solution:
Either modify the level names or ensure consistent definitions for levels with identical names.
Example:
Same name "Blue" sharing levels has different definitions for color and style.
