Bentley Descartes V8i
Advancing Information Modeling for Intelligent Infrastructure

Bentley Descartes is an information modeling product extending MicroStation and many other Bentley design products, for visualization, vector/raster hybrid workflows, and the management of fundamental data types used in infrastructure projects, such as rasters, scalable terrain models, and point clouds.

Bentley Descartes V8i (SELECTseries 3)* will make MicroStation workflows more productive by providing infrastructure professionals with:

	Advanced point-cloud data processing - New! Bentley Descartes integrates point-cloud data with engineering tools. This comprehensive functionality increases return on investment from point-cloud data and helps to save infrastructure design time and costs.
	Manipulation of scalable terrain models - New! Bentley Descartes enables the creation and use of large models at the city or regional level for large engineering projects or planning, thus increasing the return on investment for large datasets. The ability to view larger terrain models also improves the quality of decisions made in infrastructure projects.
	Processing and management of legacy documentation Bentley Descartes enables hybrid workflows and the cleanup and vectorization of legacy documents in MicroStation workflows, helping teams to increase their productivity.
	Advanced raster processing and management Bentley Descartes brings raster images into infrastructure workflows, providing visualization and context for infrastructure projects. This improves the quality of project outputs.

* Bentley Descartes V8i (SELECTseries 3) requires MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries 3) as a prerequisite.
