MicroStation

MicroStation V8i delivers incredible value and an impressive array of new capabilities. In this session you will see the most popular enhancements and learn how they can help your teams create better designs and more efficiently produce project deliverables.

This presentation provides a high-level overview of MicroStation V8 XM Edition—the flagship CAD platform at the centre of the comprehensive software portfolio offered by Bentley.

Publish DGN and DWG files Directly to PDF

Watch this eSeminar to learn more about MicroStation's publishing capabilities. Learn how to add comments to a PDF using Acrobat and how to attach a PDF file as a reference to a DGN. Then create interactive 3D PDF files.

Consolidate on one Platform. Consolidate on MicroStation

Are two CAD platforms too many for your organization? Now you can consolidate on one platform that has the capabilities of two. Increase your organization's ROI with MicroStation.

This presentation provides a high-level overview of MicroStation V8 XM Edition—the flagship CAD platform at the center of the comprehensve software portfolio offered by Bentley. Learn why the V8 XM Edition is the most powerful, most accessible, and most interoperable MicroStation release ever.

This image illustrates the power of MicroStation's visualization engine. A model is located in the context of a photograph of the existing dockside and rendered. This advanced vizualization can now also be applied to moving images through the all-new animation engine in MicroStation V8 XM Edition.

PDF Reference Files in MicroStation

This image illustrates the power of MicroStation as an interoperability platform. According to CADALYST, Bentley "broke ground by being the first major CAD platform to embrace Adobe PDF as a key publishing format." In the V8 XM Edition it is also now possible to attach a PDF file as a reference within a 2D or 3D model file. Another innovation.

Grabbing Google Earth terrain

This image illustrates the versatility of MicroStation as a 3D modeling tool. Google Earth terrain—geometry and imagery—has been captured, imported into MicroStation, and correctly geo-located. Now any DGN or DWG model can be created and visualized in the context of its true location.

Placing SketchUp models in MicroStation

This image illustrates the committment of Bentley to support all popular formats for the benefit of all MicroStation users. This model was imported and placed—in one action—directly from the Google 3D Warehouse. It includes texture mapping on the elevations in readiness for being published to the Google Earth environment.

Sophisticated 3D surface and solids modeling

This image illustrates the sophisticated modeling options avilable to all MicroStation users. Here we see complex surface and mesh modeling with mapped textures. MicroStation also includes advanced modeling technologies for easy-to-use solids modeling and easy-to-change parametric feature-based solids modeling.

MicroStation PDF Composer provides a secure, compact format for project delivery. Package at the touch of a button. PDF documents generated with MicroStation PDF Composer are interactive and include searchable text, security options, and level and file information.

ProjectWise InterPlot Organizer Example

ProjectWise InterPlot Organizer publishes compound and linked documents to PDF to create a secure, compact format for project delivery. Users can package an entire AEC project into a single PDF document as a batch or scheduled process.
