For those of you getting started, I wanted to take a moment to point out we have delivered a sample workspace to help you get started. Select the user entitled "Examples". Then for the Project select Bentley-Civil-Imperial or Bentley-Civil-Metric. Finally, select the Interface Bentley-Civil.
I will be hosting a presentation on this workspace at the Bentley LEARNing Conference this May for those interested. Having a robust workspace for this new major release is vital to successful deployment.
Thanks,

I received a tip last week from Derricke Gray on a good idea for additional Project Settings - Design Stages. We added 4 new design stages to the Bentley-Civil Example Workspace that will be available in our next release. We added one for Top Mesh Only, Bottom Mesh Only, Linear Features Only, and Components Only. These are all Final design stages and make it a lot easier to get the correct information for machine control and terrain model creations. If you want an updated copy you can get it here. Note the paths are setup for Power GEOPAK, but it works for PG, PI, Inroads and GEOPAK Suite and MX. Just update the files that were delivered with your install after unzipping.

Note, as we continue to update our example workspace I will continue to update this thread. Note, the posted link will be good for a few weeks.

Hi Chuck -
The link is dead already. Can you repost a new one?
Thanks.
Here is a new test version for those adventurous ones working on workspaces.

1. The display style used for the slope thematic display for terrains had too many angle values and the colors were not very logical or easy to understand. So I made a guess at what might make more sense. Now if anyone has some better ideas to make this even more useful, please let me know.
2. The point features were not plotting properly. I made some changes to make them work a little better. They are not perfect yet as we need a couple of software enhancements, but they are better and seem useful now.
The link listed will be good for a couple of weeks. As always feedback is most appreciated.
Thanks
Thanks Chuck.
I am not able to access the link can you please post a new link.

The link will be good for a couple of weeks. I will work on a more permanent link once I return to the office.
The link posted on 10-14-2013 does not work. Do you have a new link?
Mike
Please try again....I put it in a location where it will not get purged after a period of time. Sorry for the confusion.

These should be put in the Files area and updated there as needed.

I tried that but apparently the zipped file is too large. Need to check into this...
I have added some enhancements to the Examples Workspace (Imperial and Metric) for the Bentley Civil products (InRoads, GEOPAK, and MX) if you wish to manually update your install.

1. Added a Surface Feature for existing rock
2. Added a Linear Feature for existing rock breaklines (think bench cuts)
3. Added a Linear Feature called Matchline
4. Modified the rural undivided template to recognize the new feature "Matchline". If this feature is added as a corridor reference, the shoulder and end conditions will not draw. This is a handy way of not having to deal with end condition exceptions or adding clipping references to Corridors.
5. Many other minor enhancements.
Thanks Chuck
A revised Examples Workspace version for InRoads, GEOPAK and MX is posted here:

What's New:
1. In the subfolder entitled "dgnlib" a new MVBA has been added for users who wish to develop their own Workspaces. This MicroStation Visual Basic Application exports all levels in the currently opened DGNLib file to a XML file that can then be imported to create Element Templates in the Element Templates application within MicroStation. The XML file format will be such that the Element Template name will match the level name and the level for the Element Template will of course be set to that corresponding level name. The color, style and weight of the Element Template will all be set to "ByLevel". This application is useful for bulk creation of Element Templates for those of you looking to the future technology of Element Templates controlling your drawing environment. In the case of the client requesting this, they had a unique level for every payitem. They wanted those levels to be used through Element Templates but did not want to have to create thousands of Element Templates manually.
