MACC Conference Customizing Dynamic Views to Optimize Drawing Production Paul Wagner, Senior BIM Consultant, Bentley LEARNservices

© 2013 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 2 MACC Conference 2013 Customizing Dynamic Views to Optimize Drawing Production Customizing Dynamic Views To Optimize Drawing Production Learn in this session how to apply techniques for incorporating office ‐ drawing standards into the Dynamic View templates in order to optimize drawing production using AECOsim Building Designer. At the end of this training session, an assessment will be given. We will review all assessment questions and answers to see what you have learned.

Customize a drawing seed to match your office drawing standards by creating Display Styles and Drawing Rules. Create a detailing symbol style that represents your office standard detailing symbols.
