Agenda
• General House Keeping
• Object Types
• Template Library
• Scalability
• Demo

2D VS 3D
5 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2014 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
Really 2D?
6 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2014 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
SUM(2D + 3D) = HOLLYWOOD BIM
7 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2014 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
House Keeping
• Start with a MicroStation 2D DGN.
• Allow Civil to Create/Manage the 3D
• Separation of 2 Worlds but in same DGN
• Doesn’t mean you can’t use 3D Environment
• Think of it as…..
8 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2014 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
Civil Objects in the Model
• Corridors
• Linear Templates
• Surface Templates
• Surfaces
• 3D Breaks/Strings
• 2D Ruled Geometry & Profiles
Remember Civil Cell is any combination of the above.

Corridors
• Multiple Template Drops
• Uses Super
• Based off Template Drop Interval
• Station Lock/Even Station
10 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2014 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
Linear Templates
• Single Drop with frequency of drop based off Stroking of Element hung upon
• Use of Site based entities where accuracy > scale
11 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2014 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
Linear Templates Delta from Corridor
• No Super
• No End Condition Exceptions
• No Secondary Alignment
• No Key Stations
• No Curve Widening
• Design Stage has no Template Management or Critical Sections
12 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2014 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
Surface Templates
• Apply a Template to a Terrain Model
• Reads template points & components at Origin
• More than Intersections!
13 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2014 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
Corridor Modeling in Review
• Corridor Resides in the DGN– 2D and 3D Model
• Integrate Corridor and Site Modeling– Both work on same model
– Use the tools that best fit the situation
• Target MicroStation Elements
• WYSIWYG– Use Reference Files to Control Display of Model
– Drainage, Bridges, etc..
14 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2014 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
Corridor Modeling
• “The 3D model is no longer a byproduct of the Design, it is the design.”
• Allows Design Time– Visualization
– Clash Detection
– “Engineering Sanity”
15 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2014 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
Template Library
• Same Format
• Additions & Changes– Removed Vertical Styles Constraints
– Superelevation Flags
– Naming
• Styles = Feature Definition
• Targets Renamed
16 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2014 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
Project to Design
17 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2014 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
Active Template Enhancements in MR 1
• Q&A and Sort– Point Feature Definitions
– Component Feature Definitions
18 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2014 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
Component Feature Definition
• Organize by Material Type to Quantify
• Rendering– Design Time
– Hollywood BIM & Viz
• Exclude from Top/Bottom Mesh Toggle
19 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2014 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
Point Feature Definitions
• Determines if Template Geometry is Drawn– Allows Civil Cell with Corridors
• Separate Feature Definitions for Points on different Layers of Pavement– RT_EOP needs to Create Template Geometry and used with
Graphical Filter to Create a Terrain model of Proposed Terrain Model
– RT_EOP_AGGR_BOT does not need template Geometry and is included in the Subgrade Terrain Model.

Scalability
• Design Stages
• Referencing
• Target Aliasing & Clipping
• Tips with Large Models
21 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2014 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
• Corridor Design Stages– Input
• Template Management
• Include Critical Sections
– Output
• Display Settings
Managing Corridors
22 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2014 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
• Corridor modeling can work across reference files.
• Because everything is now stored in the dgn, it is necessary to allow the storing and retrieval of all civil information in separate files, and allow all the processes involved to work smoothly across all files and nested references.
• Processing of Corridor required Read/Write– Limits Processing Tree to what lives in Active DGN
Referencing & Accessing Data
23 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2014 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
• Promotes Federated Workflow
• Allows long jobs to be broken into several DGNS
– View All Corridor in one DGN
– Still cut Sections on All
– Reference same Geometry and Super
• Corridors can be split:
– Contract
– Construction Staging
– What makes SENSE
Referencing
24 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2014 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
• LEGO Concept– Referencing
• Division of Labor
• Controls Processing
– Use Mulitple Corridors and Linear Templates instead of one Template.
Keep it Simple
25 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2014 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
• Used to be combined – a corridor could only be clipped by other corridors that targeted it.
• Target Aliasing and Clipping are now completely separate!
• Referencing is still key.
• Target MSTN Elements/Meshes
• Additionally Clip on MSTN Shapes or Terrains
Target Aliasing and Clipping
26 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2014 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
• Use of Feature Definition Constraints with Corridor Reference are Costly compared to Point Controls
• Perform Clipping when Complete or control through Referencing
• Clips that are Linear/Parallel– Consider End Condition Exception
– Add addition Template drop removing unneeded Components
Tips with Large Models
27 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2014 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
Tips
• Reference in Geometry and Super
• Build Terrains in other DGNs and reference in the Corridor– Corridor Updates prevent Terrain Updates
• More Graphics in 3d Model…more to process for Dynamic Sections.
• Overlay Runs to formulate Profile needs to occur in DGN where Geometry Exists.
