• Extract seed points.

    In this model the seed points created do not touch the ground, they are above or below the surface of the model, they are usually groups of three points only aligned at several places of the model away from each other. Next, there are the seed points…
  • DESCARTES CHANGE IMAGE COLOR IN PIECES

    i am trying to color only portions of the image i tried masking but i may be doing it wrong. let me know if im doing it wrong im trying to color the writing. I know you use the properties background color change but that changes the whole image. I get…
  • ECW file type not recognized [13]

    I cannot get my ECW's to attach and be recognized. I'm not sure if its a problem with the source image, or microstation/Descartes, but I get the ECW in another program that's georeferenced with my project. I export to .DXF of the project like I've always…
  • Descartes Vertical Scale of DEM File

    I'm trying to import a DEM file into Descartes and whenever the .stm file is created, the vertical scale is exaggerated. I believe it is similar to another defect already identified ( Defect # 62591) where the vertical scale is off by the conversion factor…
  • RE: Which version of Descartes add-on support MicroStation v8i 8.11.09.459

    Hi Vladimir, yes, installation files for Descartes standalone and Descartes for MicroStation are completely different. Descartes standalone is one installation file of size 1144MB. To install Descartes for MicroStation there are two installation files…
  • Assigning different clips to different views in Descartes

    Hello, I'm not sure of the best way to go about this but I want to create a printed sheet with several different clipped views of the same point cloud. I have created the required clips but I can't make the clips 'stick' to any specific view (View 1…
  • COPY PASTE FROM ONE RASTER TO ANOTHER RASTER FILE

    One of my users ask me if there is a way to copy part of a raster image from one raster file, into another raster file using copy/paste. I have not found anything on the forums to indicate one way or the other, anyone have any ideas? He wants…
  • Point Cloud Presentation

    Ok, What is the trick to this? Nothing seems to change when I change the presentation style. I am currently working with STM.dgn which is the example drawing for the eLearn training Bentley Descartes for 3D modeling..point cloud is white, no matter which…
  • RE: Point Clouds for a newbie

    You can use Descartes "Smart Snap" to select the highest point along the top of rail to trace the rails or the 3D line follow tool if you have intensities to your point cloud. This will give you a rough horizontal alignment. fyi- InRoads ss3 has a …

  • Create Section with Drape Element on Point Cloud (Descartes V8i SS4)

    Hi everyone, I've tried to drape a line element on a point cloud of a scanned cavity (see picture below) to generate a section through the cloud. Is there a way to avoid these spikes (red circle in the picture) by chosing something like a maximum distance…
  • Descartes (Dcartes) and shrinking the raster boundary

    I'm a newbie to V8i and like it a lot! Especially Descartes, however I was also an avid fan of IrasB and enjoyed the way I could "shrink" the boundary to the extents of the raster pixels with a single tool click. I could change the boundary to my cut…
  • VJ IRASB > V8 Raster Manager / Descartes

    Hello We are going through the process of removing Microstation J and moving up to V8i. (We have used XM for a while but didn't like IRASB as it kept on locking raster layers). Anyway. Some of the older attached cit raster files we have, won…
  • Pointools, Descartes hardware guidelines?

    We have been looking at hardware specifications for use with Pointools (and probably Descartes SS4) processing large LiDAR surveys of buildings, but appropriate (as opposed to minimum) hardware specifications seem to be thin on the ground. The best…
