Did you know Bentley offers live training in a virtual classroom setting to complement its on-demand video lectures? You'll work with practical, hands-on exercises and real-world datasets all delivered by Bentley experts. In the blended learning classroom, you will watch the corresponding video lecture(s) prior to attending the class and work on exercises in the practice workbook during the live portion while an instructor is available to answer your questions.
The following virtual classroom and blended learning courses for MicroStation are scheduled through the end of January. Visit Bentley's LEARNing events listing for course details and registration or to see what's upcoming in the weeks ahead.
Civil Visualization in MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries 3)
26 January 2015 – 12:00 EST (United States)Instructor: Jerry Flynn
In this course, you will learn to use MicroStation Visualization tools to create realistic lighting, textures, and backgrounds as you render your scenes. You will learn to use MicroStation's camera to set up Solar lighting, assign materials to the design file geometry, and create fur-based materials for rendering realistic grasses and trees. You will also learn to use the Luxology rendering engine to create thousands of billboard polygons at render time.
MicroStation Basics Full
26 January 2015 – 12:00 UTC (United Kingdom)Instructor: Mieke Pol
The MicroStation Basics course is designed for the new MicroStation user and builds a solid foundation in the concepts, tools and features found in the MicroStation drawing environment. Starting with setting up a drawing and concluding with plotting, students walk through typical workflows using the tools and features In MicroStation.
Composición e Impresión con MicroStation Virtual Classroom
26 enero 2015 – 10:00 UTC +1 (Spain)Instructor: Alicia Rodriguez
Este curso trata los aspectos específicos del proceso de impresión , desde la creación de la composición hasta su salida por la impresora /plotter
Publishing i-models Blended Learning
27 January 2015 – 08:30 UTC (United Kingdom)Instructor: Mieke Pol
This blended learning module explains how to publish i-models and how to combine a set of published i-models into a single, protected file, a package.
Students registering for this Live instructor-led module are expected to watch the corresponding video lecture(s) prior to attending the Live session. You can find these lectures in the On-Demand section of this course. During the Live session in the virtual classroom, you can work on the exercises in the practice workbook while an instructor is available to answer your questions.
Building Visualization in MicroStation
27 January 2015 – 10:00 EST (United States)Instructor: Jerry Flynn
Learn how to mirror the real world, by enabling your Building Design Projects with realistic visualization. Create impressive lifelike renderings faster so that you can secure stakeholder buy‐in and increase your project win‐rate. MicroStation's Visualization capabilities provide greater ease‐of‐use and unmatched photorealistic results, bringing world class visualization to any MicroStation user. Specifically learn how to setup an manipulate MicroStation’s camera for framing the perfect shot of your project. Learn how to setup lighting and realistic environments to render photo-realistic images of a project. Learn how to use the Solar Path tool to achieve dramatic sunrise or sunset renderings of your project. Learn how to use the Effects manager to make balancing complex scene lighting easy and how to use the Populate tool to quickly and easily add render ready content to a scene.
27 January 2015 – 10:00 EST (United States)Instructor: Logan Pillay
Viewing Items and Item Sets Blended Learning
27 January 2015 – 10:00 UTC (United Kingdom)Instructor: Mieke Pol
This blended learning module explains how to view non-graphical business items and how to search for items with certain values. You will also learn how to group items and visually manipulate them by creating item sets.
Traffic Animation
27 January 2015 – 13:00 EST (United States)Instructor: Jerry Flynn
You have your roadway modeled and it is looking good. The next logical step in the visualization process is to add striping and a few trees and then animate vehicles along the roadway. You will start with enhancing the elements that represent your roads, then you will add vehicles to your animation. You will also add lanes of traffic and attach intelligence to the vehicles so that they enter and exit those lanes as they would in real life. Your will add animation cameras to the vehicles for a driver’s view of the roadway system. Finally, you will render content such as rocks and trees to add another dimension of reality to your animation.
Viewing Designs Blended Learning
28 January 2015 – 08:30 UTC (United Kingdom)Instructor: Mieke Pol
This blended learning module presents enhancements with regard to viewing and displaying models and drawings. Special attention is being given to the use of clip volumes, display styles, and saved views.
Organizing Project Data Blended Learning
28 January 2015 – 10:00 UTC (United Kingdom)Instructor: Mieke Pol
This blended learning module explains new features in Project Explorer, such as browsing file content on the File tab, working with configuration variable links and harvested folders, and setting the properties of the Project Explorer dialog.
QuickStart for Civil Designers Using Rendering in MicroStation
28 January 2015 – 13:00 EST (United States)Instructor: Jerry Flynn
Do you have a need to show to others the impact of your proposed design? View your design improvements and show them to the interested public in a way that is easily understood?
Verwendung von Fremddaten Virtual Classroom
30 January 2015 – 08:00 UTC+1 (Germany)Instructor: Ronald Zeike
MicroStation Anwender lernen, wie man Informationen von anderen Projektbeteiligten verwendet, die oft in einer Vielzahl von Formaten geliefert werden. Wir zeigen die neuen Möglichkeiten der Interoperabilität in MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries 3). Themen sind unter anderem die Unterstützung für das IFC-Format, das Bentley Civil-Geländemodelle, LandXML, das JT-Format und RealDWG.
