MicroStation Brochure-2

How Do You Choose the Right Information Modeling Software? Most projects today are designed and documented using computer-aided design (CAD) software. But with shrinking budgets, compressed delivery schedules, and ever-increasing project scales and complexity, many organizations are turning to information modeling in search of efficiencies in design, delivery, and operations. Information modeling goes beyond simple 2D or 3D geometric representations of a design by including the opportunity to: However, unlike most CAD software, information modeling software is typically only useful for a single...

Interoperability and Federation Lets You Leverage All Information MicroStation provides a highly interoperable environment that ensures information from diverse sources is integrated and accessible on demand by your team, empowering the incorporation of any design data, regardless of format. For example, Bentley’s interoperability agreement with Autodesk ensures that RealDWG libraries are embedded in MicroStation, allowing users to consume, edit and deliver authentic DWG files with the exact same fidelity as Autodesk’s own products. In turn, this gives MicroStation users the flexibility to confidently...

Hypermodeling Delivers Immersive Interaction MicroStation helps you understand and immersively interact with designs more naturally, so you can make better decisions. By effectively leveraging, in real time, all applicable information available, you can provide broader project awareness across the enterprise. This capability is delivered through hypermodeling, which enables interrelated design information of all types to be presented for interaction within the spatial context of the 3D model. This information can include solids and surfaces, drawings, specifications, images, point clouds, documents,...
