We have added support for markups heads up viewing in the priority build of MicroStation SS2 and in MicroStation SS3. This is in addition to the preview. The heads up display is preferable since you can pan and zoom the design file and see the markups in place and not have to adjust the preview. Note that the preview is just a big thumbnail. To access the heads up display you need to have markups in a 2D file and do the following in MicroStation:...

Hi All We have recently been getting queries into the help desk asking how to bring certain surveys into MX that aren't listed in MX>File>Import. The tool to use for this is the Data Acquisition tool. Data Acquisition compiles information from the following sources: Field Data Formats: InRoads Text Import Wizard (.tiw) InRoads Intermediate (.fwd) GEOPAK (.obs) Tripod Data Systems (.rw5 & .raw) Leitz-Sokkia SDR33 (.sdr) Trimble Link ...

Ok, so we've explained how to find the DMS folder id number in ProjectWise in a prior posting, so now if a user deletes a folder in SS3 you have to go through the painful process of finding the file/folder and restoring from your backup. Great, so how do you do this? Basic disaster/recovery information can be found in the Implementation Guide that is delivered in the server download files. In ProjectWise SELECTseries, development added some pretty...

J'ai ajouté un fichier ZIP à télécharger depuis la rubrique Files de la communauté Le Rail en France. Il contient une bibliothèque XML avec des véhicules exemples à assembler pour créer deux tramways différents. Il y également les fichiers DGN qui ont servi à la créaion des véhicules et qui proposent quelques cotes et annotations. Bien que s'appuyant...

In older versions of Building Applications, the variable BB_FLOORMASTER_DGN defined the what BB_FloorMaster.dgn was active. Within this file the various Floor Definitions were defined. When launching the Floor Manager, the actual BB_FloorMaster.dgn was entered. That is, the active file became the FloorMaster. This was obvious as the background became blue, and red rectangles appeared, displaying the defined Floors. Some users had a tendency to work...

Get 50% off any virtual classroom course through March 31, 2012 Each New Year brings new challenges and new opportunities. Senior executives often implement new strategic corporate objectives, and many stress initiatives that align learning and development with organizational goals. So what better way to get a head start on your goals than by taking advantage of Bentley Institute training? Now through March, 31, 2012, Bentley Institute is running...

As I write this, this students may be working on the model. I don't know for sure, and I won't know until Saturday. As far as I am involved, it is all up to them now. They are no longer meeting during class time, and even if they meet after school, I get out of the office much later than they get done class. The last thing I saw on Monday, was a bunch of buildings that needed to be placed, electrical connections that need tape and solder,...

On Thursday, January 19 th I attended the opening reception for the Agent Structures Exhibit at Pratt Institute , a showcase of inspiring designs by students using GenerativeComponents (GC). The Agent Structures exhibition is a series of investigations created by students in Professor Robert Cervellione’s Arch 711A studio at Pratt Institute’s Graduate Architecture and Urban Design program. The seminar used swarm intelligence as a premise...

Hi All. First Post of the New Year. This post will explain the process of applying hatching to cut and fill areas of a design for plans and longsections using input files. The images below show what will be achieved. For this process I’ll be using an example design included in the attached genio file ( EXAMPLE GENIO.txt ). The models used are detailed below. Design model – DESIGN UG Ground model – GROUND UG Plan Cut and Fill Hatching...

Lionville Middle School has a unique way of adding things up. Special thanks to Principal Ross for making it all possible!. When you add 1 teacher and 1 mentor and multiply their efforts by 16 students. Then take that total and divide it across 6 hours, divide 6 pizzas among these people, what does that give you? Besides 4 pairs of Uggs getting painted and a lot of laughing? A very productive day!! That's what. Let me explain, this past Friday...

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Jon Ross, the principal of Lionville Middle School this past week. I must say, the reason the students are excited, is because the teachers are excited, and the teachers are excited, is because Jon is excited. Although a few minutes late, I walked in to the class where all of the Future Cities engineering has been happening and Jon was at the front of the room speaking to the students. It was evident from the first...

第九章、用C++/CLI编写Addins Chapter 9. Writing Addins using C++/CLI 从上一章我们能够看到，要调用MDL API函数需要通过DllImport属性对其进行声明。好在我们所演示的mdlMesh_newPolyfaceFromXYTriangulation函数还算简单，而且要生成一个网格曲面仅调用这一个函数即可。假如您要进行智能实体的编程可就没有这么幸运了，因为它往往需要调用多个MDL API函数才能实现一个功能。如果还对每个MDL函数进行DllImport属性声明，一则是比较繁琐，再者就是难度也不小。好在微软为我们提供了功能强大的混合程序集编程语言——C++/CLI。当我们改用C++/CLI写我们的程序集时，既可以调用.NET的功能也可以像本机代码C/C++那样直接调用MDL函数。下面就让我们来一步步编写一个C++/CLI的Addin程序，其中演示了绘制上一章的网格曲面以及绘制一个智能实体。 From the last...

In the Newest Product AECOsim Bentley Building Designer, There is a distinct difference in placement of the tool Interface. NOTE: The end results will be the same in both products when identical Raceways are selected. There are two ways to place raceways using Bentley Building Electrical Systems and AECOsim Building Designer.You can place them component by component or you can place an entire route on a line or line string. The Create Raceway tool...

You may have heard about the new moble apps coming out for ProjectWise and wondering what they are all about. Take a look at this page for more information on ProjectWise Explorer for the iPad http://www.bentley.com/en-US/Promo/iPad/ and using the ProjectWise Mobile Access Server (also available in beta) users can directly connect to a ProjectWise server from their iPad http://www.bentley.com/en-US/Free+Software/projectwise+mobile+access+server.htm...

Annually Align Your Bentley Portfolio With Your Business Needs As we begin the new year, many of us take stock of our financial portfolios to see how our investments have performed over the past year. Invariably, some investments have proven more valuable than others, and we should consider what changes may need to be made, including reallocating some of our portfolio to promising new investments in search of better returns. When it comes to your...

The AutoCAD AEC days of the mid 90’s were probably my first foray into Parametric 3D modelling. But as a design tool I found it very stiff and inflexible. Lots of products have since come and gone. There was a pretty good one called Reflex (not sure what company or if it still exists) but it seems to have died a natural death not having the resources of Autodesk or Bentley. Vector works also seems to be a pretty good product. Being a diehard...

Le jeu de style FR_Terrain 1000.pss ainsi que le jeu de style MXROAD ont été modifiés en version v8i ss2 pour exploiter plus les propriétés de symbologie Du Niveau (DuCalque). Cependant, dans la version installée 08.11.07.423, les propriétés de niveau du jeu de style "FR_Terrain 1000.pss" n'ont pas toutes été changées pour correspondre aux mêmes symbologies...
