Intuitive Design Modeling in V8i

With V8i’s intuitive design modeling tools, project teams can easily take designs from concept to completion in the same software environment. Conceptual tools make it easier to intuitively sculpt solids and surfaces. Generative tools make it easier to iterate through many design alternatives.

Together, these design modeling tools help teams:

• Increase design productivity,
• Improve information quality,
• Reduce project rework.

Working in the same software environment means:

• Fewer information-translation obstacles,
• Seamless transition from design modeling and visualization to fully completed architectural and engineering models,
• More time to spend creating designs rather than reworking them.

Further speeding design in the V8i portfolio is the new Luxology rendering engine. Incorporated in the MicroStation product and all MicroStation-based applications, this rendering engine provides near-real-time rendering in the design application. This fast rendering:

• Saves time,
• Improves the quality of rendered images for stakeholder review and buy-in,
• Makes it easy to deliver TV- and film-quality renderings from models without additional work.
