4. Photogrammetry

a) Using and Editing Terrain Models

In this course you will review terrain model feature display and learn how to create thematic height displays. You will also learn how to create terrain models by importing graphic elements, identify and fix terrain model problems, and combine multiple terrain models together.

b) Quick Start for Terrain Display

Learn how to display terrain model features including the boundary, triangles, and contours using feature definitions, and how to modify the default display parameters. You will also learn how to label terrain contours, spot elevations and slopes.

c) Creating a Terrain from Point Cloud Data

This course will cover how to create a terrain model from point cloud data. You will learn how to attach point cloud data, view the point cloud data, create the terrain model from the point cloud data and also how to add breaklines to the point cloud terrain model. You will also learn how to combine and merge oint cloud data with field survey data to create a complex terrain model.

d) Understanding Survey Feature Definitions

This course will review how raw field codes are mapped into a DGN file when processed with the Survey product. It will show the relationship between field codes and Feature Definitions that have been configured to display various survey features and how to control those settings.

e) Understanding Georeferenced Coordinate Systems and Point Cloud Tools

Explore Georeferenced Coordinate Systems and the LiDAR tools under the reality modeling tab in OpenRoads Designer. We will take a look into what a Georeferenced Coordinate System is and why setting the correct one is critical for your project's success. We will also explore the tools available for processing Point Cloud data. You will learn to build a terrain model from unclassified LiDAR data and remove the first return shots (foliage) resulting in a more accurate representation of the ground's surface.

f) Creating a Map MicroStation CONNECT Edition

Learn how to create a MicroStation design file and assign a GCS and attach external drawings as references to the active design file.

g) Working with Geographic Data MicroStation CONNECT Edition

Learn how to work with Geographic Data in MicroStation.

h) Displaying Aerial Imagery MicroStation CONNECT Edition

Learn how to display Aerial Imagery in MicroStation.

i) Locate Geometry in the Correct Place on the Earth with MicroStation CONNECT Edition

In this course you will learn how to incorporate a GCS to locate civil design geometry in the correct geographic location. We will define a GCS within our active model and leverage this GCS to place design graphics as well as incorporate data coming from other formats such as GIS shape files.

j) Map Updates MicroStation CONNECT Edition

This workbook contains exercises to create map from design data, raster data and control the display. Then you will create sheets for printing an annotate those sheets. To do all of this you will learn how to control elements, manipulate and modify geometry. In addition you will learn how to place and edit text and place graphical symbols called cells.
