Bentley View CE

We the user base demand that Bentley release and continue to release Bentley View.  

It is a very powerful tool.  In some cases the users will make this their default application for DGN & DWG.  Senior managers are encouraged to use it, so they do not screw up the data.

It is IMPORTANT to the users to have this and we need a CE version, more so for ACAD 2018+ support

    My clients are pleased with his announcement, and I promoted this to other clients. I suggest to use dynamic views for BIM projects. Because our friends using Navisworks freedom, and they can use a command like dynamic view. If it can be implemented. I will create tutorials for Dutch users.

    Hi Daniel

    Yes please include this as the current implementation has very limitere usage. You realy need to be able to interrogate an volume area in Bentley view if you want people to use this software efficiantly in complex 3D geometrys.

    Hi Helgeh,

    Let me clarify that bullet point.  If there is a clip volume in the file that was created in MicroStation (authoring application), you can view those clips in Bentley View CONNECT Edition.  In the attached screen shots, I have a few callouts that were generated and have clip volumes.  Hovering over the marker will allow me to turn on or off the clip volume.

    If you would like to use the Clip Volume tools in the current session (of course, these will not be saved because the file is in Read-Only) to review and interrogate an area, then we can look at possibly including this in a future release.  Please keep in mind this is the initial release and we can look at enhancing the experience in the future with new updates.

    Thanks,

    Daniel Eng

    Not so good news... why tease us with this and then not include it. Other non Bentley free viewers have clip volume /  cutplain tools.
