MicroStation® V8i A Software Foundation for Infrastructure Design

MicroStation V8i is used by engineers, architects, GIS professionals, constructors, and owner operators to design, model, visualize, document, map, and sustain infrastructure projects. MicroStation V8i is their preferred software foundation because it delivers an integrated and proven set of intuitive, interactive, and highly interoperable capabilities to the desktop.

Interoperability Support print styles, to assemble hybrid plot sets that consist of DGN, MicroStation V8i provides project teams with a single DWG, raster and other vector files in 2D and 3D formats, to software product which delivers significant interoperability produce identical paper and PDF copies of drawings with advantages. MicroStation V8i enables users to overcome the push of a button, and to eliminate time-consuming and many DWG reuse challenges and extend the value of DWG expensive manual processes through plot automation and data by integrating all DWG and DGN content in one place. batch printing. Users can aggregate and reuse 3D models from multiple software products, and work much faster with large raster Intuitive Design Modeling Simplify 2D drawing composition files to speed project completion. MicroStation V8i‘s intuitive design modeling tools satisfy project teams’ 3D modeling requirements with a single soft- Intrinsic Geo-Coordination ware product. Using MicroStation V8i, teams can intuitively MicroStation V8i‘s new geo-coordination capabilities enable and interactively build and edit models faster. They can also project teams to accurately and quickly coordinate project aggregate and assemble geometry from multiple software information from multiple sources, stored in multiple file sources to save time and money, and – using Generative- formats, using multiple coordinate and grid systems. Using Components® inside MicroStation – can now create smarter MicroStation V8i geo-coordination tools, project teams can geometry to explore more design options in less time. easily and accurately attach vector and raster reference data Geo-Coordinate project information inside the same file. MicroStation V8i includes OGC Web Map support and concurrently integrates real-time GPS in- formation inside the same MicroStation design environment. “Saving time and working faster are

Interactive Dynamic Views really what it is all about.” MicroStation V8i‘s dynamic views help project teams simplify – Wm Saunders Partnership LLP | WSP 2D drawing composition and enhance 3D modeling and visualization experiences. With dynamic views users can slice and filter models to see only what is needed and maintain Iterative Luxology Rendering a fully coordinated set of 3D models and 2D deliverables MicroStation V8i‘s near-real-time photorealistic Luxology Visualizing project designs across projects. Because the views in MicroStation V8i are rendering enables project teams to gain project stakeholder “dynamic,” they are all updated immediately when the model buy-in, validate the fit and finish of a project, and secure fund- is changed. Dynamic Views are optimized for both centralized ing for design alternatives. and distributed teams to interactively compose 2D drawing sheets from plans, sections, and elevations. MicroStation V8i can – at the push of a button – produce the very highest quality images using preconfigured settings to Integrated Print Organizer better balance speed and quality.
