Heya,
I'd like to first introduce myself: I'm Jacob Collstrup and I'm a surveyor from Denmark. I just got my first job after graduating. My job is to take point clouds into Microstation v8i Descartes SELECTSeries 3 and then model them.
This is my first time working with Microstation and Descartes, it seems that no one else in the company knows how to do these things, so I'm on my own here, and thus need some starting help. I've watched these two videos:

They've not helped me that much. I guess I'm too new to Microstation to narrow down my challenges to specifics, do you guys know of where I can find tutorials that'll help my create 3d models based on the point cloud I have?I have yet to figure out how "Smart Snap" and "Visual Explorer" works. I can only set tolerances for these tools to values larger than 1 and I don't know how to rotate the on screen marker for these tools.
I have managed to create two planes now. One horizontal and one vertical, but I I'm not good enough yet, to reliably make the same plane twice.
So I guess it boils down to whether someone here knows of basic tutorials that covers my challenges, preferably with sample data.
Best regards,
Jacob Collstrup
