MicroStation 3D

Learning how to move from 2D to 3D in MicroStation can take a while without professional guidance. You can save those weeks of expensive trial and error on our 3-day MicroStation 3D course, where you will develop a solid understanding of the software's 3D capabilities. You will navigate and work in a 3D design file, create and edit 3D curves, solids and surfaces in MicroStation, create parametric 3D models and develop a basic knowledge of 3D rendering.

Course content for MicroStation 3D:

• Use AccuDraw in 3D, the view compass, design cube and ACS orientations, 3D point input
• 3D Tools
