Inside Microstation

Best known for its easy style, technical accuracy, and attention to detail, Inside MicroStation, 6th Edition is the ultimate user guide for the novice! Its fast-paced, highly engaging examples, exercises, and illustrations are guaranteed to put readers on the path to proficiency. Instead of simply describing each tool, this indispensable how-to and reference manual explains why mission-critical tools and functions in MicroStation version 8 (V8) work the way they do. How V8 features work together in the design environment is also revealed, providing readers with the knowledge they need to optimize the power of MicroStation to solve today's design challenges. Emphasis is placed on using AccuDraw, Bentley's patented user interface technology, in every aspect of the design process. In addition, extraordinarily complete yet practical coverage of 2D construction tools, 3D modeling and rendering techniques, customization, and MicroStation's VBA programming environment gives a competitive edge to readers working in a real-world design environment.
