Join us on LinkedIn Live for casual, informative chats, as engineers and designers, just like you, unpack topics around how MicroStation plays a critical role in their design or delivery workflows.

MicroStation is the instrument professionals rely on to model, document, and manage infrastructure projects – better and faster. More sophisticated than just a tool, this is the solution that enables you to deliver innovative designs and creative visualizations and consolidates critical project elements in a single environment.  

We want you to know exactly how we do that, and what better way than to hear users discuss how they leverage MicroStation for maximum impact on their distinctive jobs.

Welcome to our end of year Fireside Chats – the Advent Series!  During these three sessions, we’ll share with you why all professionals that are tasked with designing, modeling, and managing infrastructure need a smart solution for daily workflow challenges. You’ll discover the three key capabilities that will make your projects more efficient and collaborative, and your business more competitive as a result.  Basically, we’ll provide the answer to, Why MicroStation?

Available On-Demand

#1 Model anything, anywhere.

Bring your ideas to life with conceptual and detailed drafting, drawing, and modeling. MicroStation offers a flexible 3D modeling approach that frees you from the constraints of 2D drawings while seamlessly supporting users working in a 2D environment. MicroStation’s 3D modelling, 2D drawings, reporting, and visualization rendering functionality are all built-in to the product. So, there's no need for additional products, add-ons, or customization. MicroStation helps you deliver designs that meet your clients’ needs while staying true to your design intent.

#2 Read and consolidate anything.

Recognized as the ultimate data integrator, MicroStation’s Advanced Data Reporting capabilities allow you to manage your project more efficiently and accurately. MicroStation seamlessly supports and integrates more than 7x the number of file formats compared to other CAD applications, eliminating frustrating translations — and the errors that come with them. Incorporate multiple file formats, terrains, and models, from IFC to GIS, from DWG to even more obscure formats. MicroStation also streamlines the process of consolidating those files to quickly produce your final deliverables. Forget about double-checking dimensions and changing plans and sheets every time you update a drawing or model; instead, use the metadata you can incorporate into your modeling to generate reports and quantity takeoffs efficiently.

#3 Report accurately to inform everyone.

MicroStation provides file format consistency across products for drawing production, including data in tables that can be exported to Excel. You will avoid errors in output and rework by directly linking your drawings and reports to the geometry and data associated within MicroStation. MicroStation also ensures that accurate CAD and BIM data reach the right destinations, including your digital twin. Collaboration tools within MicroStation keep project stakeholders consistently informed with the latest visuals, files, and deliverables.
