You could save the .dgn to .dxf or IGES, convert it over to the OpenInventor
format (using /usr/lib/Showcase/ift/DxfToIv for .dxf, or Acuris
(phone 413-329-1969 or email 3dsoftware++at++acuris.com) they have an alpha
loader for converting from IGES to Open Inventor), then use the OpenInventor
Performer loader.
