We have been asked how setting out coordinates for building components can be provided using real world coordinates, when we recommend modelling close to the Design File Origin. Recent enhancements to our Reports feature combined with knowledge from our…
We just migrated from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 a few weeks ago. One of the tings we are currently dealing with is we are no longer able to use our InRoads XSL Style Files stored on the network share where our workspaces are located…
You might want to consider posting your inquiry in the most applicable Be Communities forum -- in this particular case, the MicroStation V8 2004 Edition would probably be the best one... see http://communities.bentley.com/products/microstation/microstation_…
I assume that you are not intending to run MicroStation on your server. What do you mean by 'link worstations'? What will you be running on your server? SELECTserver maybe?
I'm a new member of BE Communities and this may have been discussed in the past - Can anyone provide any insight into a response from Bentley on a proposed server upgrade:-
An existing server using Microsoft Windows 2003 is to be replaced with…
I am using v8i and I have attached the reference file in that I have to copy some of the elements I couldn't able to select the particular element. While I am selecting the elements I got all element selected in the reference. Before it was not.…

Series Index - Setting Up in the Real World
[updated with Jim Turner's comments; thank you Jim!]
SnakeGrid takes a linear alignment and lays it out on a flat plane maintaining low distortion along a strip approximately 20km wide each…
Version 1, files for MicroStation and AECOsim Building Designer containing settings for Navigator, SpaceMouse Pro and SpacePiolot Pro devices.
Extract Files to C:\Program Files\3Dconnexion\3Dconnexion 3DxSoftware\3DxWare64\en_us\profiles\default then…
Here are some sensible settings to add to your Company_Standards.cfg:
#----------------------------------------------------------------------# User Settings#----------------------------------------------------------------------MS_SNAPMODE_SOURCE = 1
Please also refer to alternative workflows described in Setting Up in the Real World – GeoReferencing Update and Setting Up in the Real World – GeoReferencing by Footprint.
The accuracy…
In the case of linear infrastructure it is fairly obvious that each major facility along a route will have its own GCS. Other cases may be less clear cut. Take an airport.
This diagrammatic example (the runways…
Another use for Cells containing text fields (mentioned in Setting Up in the Real World - Labelling Coordinates) is labelling spot heights. As shown in that article, cells can contain text fields that display…
There is often a need to label coordinates with real world positions or positions relative to a site datum.
For straightforward projects requiring 2D setting out coordinates in X/Y or Northing/Eas…
[Update 2020: These coordinate systems are now available as standard in our current applications, the steps below are only relevant to pre 2020 releases]
UK users creating new data should always use the OSGB…
Hi Simon, just to close the loop on this question, we added in the ability to edit the Transform description, described in Setting Up in the Real World – GeoReferencing, naming your transforms
Im a little late to these blogs so im reading them now and there is some great stuff in them Not sure if queries here get answered or not...ill ask one anyway.To produce a Project which is modelled around the 0,0 of a Design Model, and have it able to…

Yes, absolutely! Don't want to promise a specific date because of a current workload, but the migration to CONNECT Edition plus several enhancements is in my to-do list already :-)
Any plans to update it for CONNECT edition? This library now crashes CE versions.
I have defined monuments in my dgn file that contains the structure, modeled near 0,0 with correct elevations.
When I reference that file to my site dgn file (state plane coordinates), via the AEC transform option, the reference file falls into the correct…
Just to clarify some points on this article:
It is possible for SnakeGrid to be a GCS that is installed in the AECOSim GCS library and related to an established datum (WGS84). See this post for clarification on the HS2 SnakeGrid: https://communities.bentley…
hi
As items drift down a blog's timeline they can be overlooked, so here is an index for this series of pieces:
The big picture:
Setting Up in the Real World or "Where do we model?"
Setting Up in the Real World – Generating real-world setting…
Following the techniques used in Setting Up in the Real World – GeoReferencing Update, a similar approach uses individual facility/building footprints as the guiding geometry.
This allows the individual…
This article is an update of the earlier Setting Up in the Real World – GeoReferencing piece with a slightly simplified workflow to create the transformed GCS and using different example data.
