Downloaded the CE version... seems a bit faster, which is good stuff.
Bentley View has the potential to reach a very wide audience... so I was a little disappointed to see the Clip Volume tool not being available. :-(
If the dgn has a DV then the DV's Clip volume is available. But, we need to realise that BV will be used as a 'swiss army knife' go-to tool to view all CAD formats. It opens a huge number of formats pretty well, but these days viewing 3d models is becoming increasingly common. If you accept this, than not having clipping tools to 'peel back' the 3d model to see what's inside is a critical got-to-have that any go-to tool will need to have.
The cut geometry etc is proxy graphics anyway that is volatile... should be compatible enough in read only mode? So near, yet... so far. Update 13?
The same goes for attaching Reference files. Mstn has already got all the functionality in place.
Don't see any Clip volume on the latest View connect. Did you?
Hi. Dan said update 14, its not out yet i guess.
Thank you, my mistake
A new BIM viewer is now online.It was Tekla BIM sight. Now it is Trimble connect.
Hi Dan,
At present our engineers use Navisworks Freedom, but we are trying to wean them off it because of the time wasted every time they request our designers to create an NWD file for them.
I just had a session with some of them to teach them how to use BV CE for working at home.
All went well until one of them asked about clip volumes :(
I had to cancel seven more sessions with the rest of our engineers because it was obvious they weren't going to waste their time with a product that couldn't do clip volumes.
Can you please provide a more accurate date than Q1 2020 as we are fast moving into the "work from home mode" due to the pandemic.
Cheers
