Bentley Microstation
Bentley Microstation is a versatile tool used across a variety of industries, particularly the automotive sector. It is used by all car brands, including Volkswagen, Daimler, BMW, Audi, and Toyota. The automotive industry prefers Microstation for its wide range of features and its ability to efficiently process and display critical project details. In particular, the handling of point clouds is one aspect that makes Bentley's Microstation an indispensable tool.
Importing point clouds into MicroStation is an essential step for many applications. Common registration programs such as Faro Scene, Trimble RealWorks, or Cyclone Register generate point cloud data in the .POD format, which is supported by MicroStation. This enables seamless integration and use of high-resolution 3D point clouds within the design environment.
The tools Microstation offers for utilizing point clouds are diverse and intuitive. First, there's the References tool, which allows users to insert point clouds into their projects and adjust their position, scale, and orientation. There are also tools for slicing and dividing point clouds, which can be useful if you only want to edit or view specific areas within the point cloud. Finally, there are powerful visualization tools that allow users to view point clouds in different ways to gain additional insights and make better decisions.
Bentley's proprietary plugin, Pointools, is also worth mentioning. Pointools is a powerful and versatile point cloud visualization tool. It allows users to efficiently import, manage, and display their point cloud data. Many users particularly like Pointools' ability to easily navigate and visualize large point cloud datasets. Furthermore, it offers tools for measurements, object extraction, processing point groups, and even creating movies and images from the point cloud.
In summary, Bentley's Microstation, with its wide range of point cloud management features, is an invaluable tool for industries such as civil engineering, architecture, and urban planning. Through its integration with common registration programs and its powerful in-house plug-in, Pointools, Microstation is able to support next-generation projects and address the challenges of design and visualization.
