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…

Series Index - Setting Up in the Real World 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…

Series Index - Setting Up in the Real World ’ve been picking away at the whole issue of where to model in 3D space for a long time. One of the sources of confusion is the use of ambiguous names or descriptions for some of the key concepts. The following…

You like MicroStation V8i, but… Have you ever looked for a Geographic Coordinate System (GCS) that is simply not available? The list of Geographic Coordinate Systems in MicroStation V8i is static and “as-is”. The development to add any additional…

Series Index - Setting Up in the Real World 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. Background…

A picture is worth a thousand words may be an old idiom, but it applies to our design projects as well. Have you ever had a need to have your project, your designs displayed within the context of a map or aerial image? In many cases you may not have…

Locate Geometry in the Correct Place on the Earth Mar. 03, 2015 - 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM EST David Mayer In this course you will learn how to incorporate a GCS to locate civil design geometry in the correct geographic location. We will define a GCS within…

"Locate Geometry in the Correct Place on Earth" is for anyone who uses a variety of geographic coordinate systems or works with data from multiple sources & file formats. This course will help you resolve the challenges of diverse content integration…
