I also created the X-Steel and Bentley training courses including the adaption of these courses to a web based system for use in the office from an Intranet site.Customised systems for Bentley and Intergraph software, including PDS. Some vba and macro programming as required for customized tools. This is an area I'm training more in at the moment.Design and drafting of Steelwork and Concrete in all packages mentioned above.
In charge of the deisgn and roll out of the new AECOM Bentley Systems build. This is to work with MicroStation and all verticals and also run versions MS\J to V8i and beyond. The hope is to then have it become the National and Global standard for Bentley projects.
Position also includes the writing of procedures for 3D modelling, Drawing Extractions, Guidelines for Modelling, Drafting Standards, Induction Guides and so on. The position also includes vba programming and scripting to run the build and automate processes.
In addition to admin duties, I also train staff in 'best practise' use of the software for 2d and 3d modelling.
