MicroStation, Bentley Descartes, and Bentley Pointools
Fundamental - Got Point Clouds? Are you a bit cloudy with what to do with them? Get the most out of your software; know
which tool to pick to get the job done faster and more efficient, saving time to project completion. Save time, effort and money
as your design team can respond quicker to data from the field and make better design decisions in workflows that require
accurate 3D models. As you may know MicroStation, Descartes and Pointools all support point clouds, but maybe you just need
to change the classification of some points, view several existing point clouds or need to detect and convert a curb or railway?
Which do you use, MicroStation, Descartes or Pointools? Which Bentley software is best for you? Pointools is a stand-alone,
pre-processor of point cloud data designed for viewing, animation, and editing in a point cloud centered workflow. Discover
how to take advantage of the intuitive cleanup and preparation of point clouds to make them easier to reuse in downstream
applications. Come see how your team can reuse their skills and the point cloud data itself in MicroStation. If you and your
team are familiar with reference files then they can easily master the powerful features like clip masking, snapping, measuring
and visual presentation of Point Clouds in MicroStation. Discover how Descartes can assist in your civil workflow, with tools to
define the class of points within the point cloud, you can geocoordinate point clouds, and extract linear features like rail,
tunnels or roads. Learn how you can run clash detection with native point clouds, saving you time you might have spent
extracting geometry or building models.
Basic Workspace Development
Intermediate - Step away from out of the box MicroStation and use the simplest of workspaces and you will gain flexibility with
enhanced CAD standards and easier maintenance. Imagine updating twenty individual installations of MicroStation...now
imagine yourself updating one. This reality is as close as deploying a simple networked workspace. Learn to enforce corporate
or project level standards, saving you time and money in maintenance and updates. As a new Administrator, we begin by
mastering Configuration variables and their operators and directives. You will discover the multiple levels of MicroStation's
configuration system. Learn to deploy a network redirect file and locate your workspace anywhere. Assemble the pieces of the
workspace puzzle by using Seed Files, DGN Libraries, Cell Libraries and more.
Producing Project Deliverables and Creating the Plan Set
Fundamental - Capitalize on the powerful capabilities found in MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries 3) that will enhance and
streamline the process of creating your project plan set -- from design composition to the sheet composition stage. In this
hands-on workshop, you will learn how to save time by implementing the best practices for optimizing drawing production
workflows by properly integrating standards into those workflows. Key topics include implementing annotation scale, creating
and referencing Saved Views and Name Fences, and working with Sheet models.
A Picture is Worth a Thousand Lines!
Fundamental - Learn to use Raster Manager to attach, perform basic manipulations, convert and assign Geo Coordinate
Systems to image files using MicroStation V8i-SS3. Learn to control image quality and alignment to element data to improve
your image file productivity skills. Become the “how-to” user in your organization for basic image management skills and make
yourself indispensable!
Consistent Drawing Production With Annotation Scale
Fundamental - Are you using Annotation Scale? Do you want your design team to spend less project time scaling text,
dimensions, detailing symbols, cells, references, and other geometry? Attend this lecture and learn the skills needed to
implement a global setting called Annotation Scale. Annotation scale is essentially a plot scale that may be applied to different
element types to scale or re-scale project data relative to the final print scale. This MicroStation feature allows the re-use of
data amongst project participants at multiple scales without the need to redraw data or have duplication in a drawing. The
lecture will focus on how annotation scale can be implemented as part of your civil project standards, and how it may be
integrated it into your drawing production workflows.
Why Geo-coordinate Your Project?
Fundamental - Integrating geospatial data from multiple sources is labor-intensive and error-prone which can result in
misalignment and out-of-context information. Reduce the risk of errors on site arising from poorly Geo-Coordination data that
enables civil designers to work naturally, and improve information coordination. Civil engineers typically view the world in
terms of state plane or local plane coordinate systems. Georeferencing in a civil design project allows geometry to be located
within a common reference such as a State Plane Coordinate System (SPCS). This provides a definition of an exact physical
location of an object on the surface of the earth. Use of georeferencing further extends the ability to incorporate additional
information such as geographic data within the project. Discover how to apply MicroStation's intrinsic Geo-Coordination
features to spatially reference your design geometry within a geodetic referencing system.
Using Point Clouds in a Civil/Geo Workflow
Intermediate - Got Point Clouds? Are you a bit cloudy with what to do with them? Get the most out of your software; know
which tool to pick to get the job done faster and more efficient, saving time to project completion. Save time, effort and money
as your design team can respond quicker to data from the field and make better design decisions in workflows that require

3D Geometry Creation Tools
Fundamental - Today, providing 3D models is often required for civil design projects. Get your design team more productive in
creating 3D geometry without extensive training. Discover ways to produce more completed projects in less time and get to
the next project sooner. If 2D drawings of 3D data are required, it is easier to design in 3D. Come see how quickly and easily
creating 3D geometry and visualization can be. MicroStation offers a variety of 3D toolsets to create solids, surfaces and
meshes. This lecture will discuss the available 3D toolsets and the advantages they offer for your designs.
Geo-coordination
Fundamental - Integrating geospatial data from multiple sources is labor-intensive and error-prone which can result in
misalignment and out-of-context information. Reduce the risk of errors on site arising from poorly Geo-Coordination data that
enables civil designers to work naturally, and improve information coordination. Civil engineers typically view the world in
terms of state plane or local plane coordinate systems. Georeferencing in a civil design project allows geometry to be located
within a common reference such as a State Plane Coordinate System (SPCS). This provides a definition of an exact physical
location of an object on the surface of the earth. Use of georeferencing further extends the ability to incorporate additional
information such as geographic data within the project. Master the ability to apply MicroStation's intrinsic Geo-Coordination
features to spatially reference your design geometry within a geodetic referencing system.
Configurations, DGNLibs, and Workspaces: Putting It All Together
Fundamental - MicroStation's workspaces provide a powerful, yet flexible environment for delivering CAD standards. They
allow for easier, faster updates of those standards and provide consistency between drawings. A properly deployed workspace
will benefit the entire organization by centralizing resources and delivering them to project participants. Making standards easy
to follow saves time and money by providing standardization within project workflows. A workspace consists of configurations
to control how, when, and to whom resources are available. Key topics covered will include workspaces, configurations, and
standards.
Traffic Animation
Fundamental - Creating Traffic Animations that include moving traffic with multiple vehicles is labor-intensive, right? Not
anymore. MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries 3) has a streamlined workflow for producing compelling traffic animations saving
enormous amounts of time. Streamlining the process of producing these kinds of high quality visualizations for infrastructure
projects is a central focus of the MicroStation visualization tools. Maybe you have your roadway already modeled. Come learn
the next simple step to animate vehicles moving along the roadway. The new traffic simulation tools, makes it both quick and
easy to set into motion literally hundred of cars along the roadway at varying speeds. Come master new tools to let you set up
a traffic network of lanes, where the vehicles randomly overtake other vehicles, and to take exits or enter the highway. Select
cars from a library adding cars or tractor trailer rigs to your traffic simulation. Vary their paths, speeds and distances. Discover
the script traffic tool, where you can edit and delete lanes and vehicles in lanes and easily add a camera to a car to create POV
traffic animations.
Sheet, Drawing, or Design: Deciding Which One to Use
Fundamental - Want to optimize your projects, organize your designs and save time and money? Discovering the differences
and similarities of Design, Drawing and Sheet Models in MicroStation can do just that. Do you now model completely inside of
a Design Model, place your project data within a title-block and border? Are you looking how to easily create a 2D section of
your 3D design? Through the creation and use of drawing models and sheets in the project workflow, learn to cut sections,
create plans and elevations and globally update section or elevation data. Learn how using all three can make it easier to print,
print with the click of a button and never place a fence to plot again. You'll wonder why you didn't make the switch sooner!
Create 2D Plans Preparation From 3D Geometry
Fundamental - Save time while learning to master 3D modeling and get results sooner. Do you have a need to show the same
geometry and details in several views and currently draw them independent of one another? Discover many of the workflows
used to produce basic 3D models comprised of Solids, Surfaces and Meshes. Discover basic 3D navigation and see how to easily
create 2D plans from those models. Creating 3D models, generating 2D drawings and details, ensure that that you see enough
detail to determine if it can be built. Design time is decreased saving you time, money and costly mistakes. Come and see how
changes in your design are replicated automatically to the section, elevation or detail. Learn how to place callouts on the 3D
model making it more reliable, effective, and valuable providing a clearer picture of the design.
