“

- Thanks for looking at this course, Learning MicroStation Connect Edition for General Users. Since you've decided you need to learn and understand how to use MicroStation, let's start with what is MicroStation. MicroStation is the world's leading 2d and 3d computer aided design and visualization software for the architecture, engineering, construction, and operation of all infrastructure types. Architects, engineers, design professionals, and draftsman can all use MicroStation. From individual professionals to multinational design firms, leading project teams rely on MicroStation to confidently deliver projects no matter the scale or complexity. MicroStation allows you to advance beyond just CAD. It allows you to selectively take advantage of building information modeling or BIM workflows as you need them at your own pace in ways that are most useful for you, your discipline and your projects. MicroStation can deliver real value by helping you identify and develop the best performing design alternatives for your project and facilitate progressing from design intent to completed parametrically driven models. Rather than starting from a blank canvas you can incorporate any existing imagery like aerial photos, point cloud data, geospatial data and engineering, precision 3d reality meshes that are produced from photos. By doing so, you can work within the context of precise real-world conditions for your projects. MicroStation was built with project team collaboration in mind from its reference capabilities to its integrated cloud services for sharing files and standards, and MicroStation shares a common platform with Bentley's other design applications, which make it more than just CAD software. It's a design modeling application that offers you a path to advance into BIM workflows at your own pace by working smarter, faster and more flexibly. A hallmark of MicroStation is its robust inter-operability including support for referencing precise vector geometry in formats, such as DWG or DXF, SketchUp, SKP, Rhino 3dm, IFC, geospatial information like SHP or even BIM data like Revit models. Let's next take a look at what you need to know before taking this course Learning MicroStation Connect Edition for General Users.
