© 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 2 | What do I need to set up? I Want to Start Planning for GEOPAK V8i Select Series 3…

© 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 3 | You can have dual installations of Select Series 2 and Select Series 3. Recommendations: –Dual Install –Roadway Designer projects (ird files) are not forward compatible. So, if you have a lot of work invested in a project, keep it in Select Series 2. –Site Modeler is removed in Select Series 3, so you might need to finish gsf projects in Select Series 2. A dual install probably requires maintaining dual standards since many setup files are not backward compatible. Decision 1 - Installation

© 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 4 | Not Backward Compatible: –Feature definitions –Terrain Model Element Templates are not backward compatible –Seed Files – Civil Formatting in DGN Settings are different. Survey Settings are different –Corridor Settings –Design Standards Which Files Cannot be Shared Between Select Series 2 and 3.

© 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 5 | Seed Files – Update Design File Settings Text and Dimension Styles - to support Terrain Models. Setup New Civil Configuration Variables Filters for Extract Graphics to Terrain What Things Do I Need First in My Select Series 3 Standards?

© 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 6 | Set up Feature Definitions –Point –Linear –Surface / Terrain Models Set up Element Templates –For Terrain Models –For Solids –For 3D line strings What Things Do I Need First in My Select Series 3 Standards?

© 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 7 | Corridor Settings Survey Settings Roadway Template Libraries –Tweak for Feature Definitions –Tweak for Superelevation Superelevation settings What Things Do I Need First in My Select Series 3 Standards?

© 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 9 | Used for labeling of contours and spots in: –Terrain Model Element Templates –Terrain Model Labeling Commands Dimension Style is used for spots since it can store number decimals. Dimension Styles reference and work together with a text style. Can be configured to follow annotation scale. Text And Dimension Styles

© 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 11 | Filters – Store search criteria for a specific type terrain building block. (IE spots, breaks, etc.) Filter Groups – Stores groups of filters for reusable one-step extraction of graphics into a Terrain Model. Also, evaluate workflows of aerial survey group. Extract Graphics Filters

© 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 12 | Link to DDB for GEOPAK. –(XIN or PSS in InRoads or MX) Review and edit properties Add feature definitions for roadway surfaces/components. These will not come from link to DDB. Add element templates for 3D model. Add to MS_DGNLibList Feature Definitions & Element Templates

© 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 13 | Create at least 1. Probably at least 2. Preliminary –Curve stroking off –Interval multiplier >1 –Critical sections off Final –Stroking ON –Multiplier = 1 –Critical section ON Corridor Settings

© 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 14 | Mostly same settings as Data Acquisition, with a few new things. Moved from DGN settings to DGNLIB. New Settings to control default terrain model display. New settings to control display of observations and setups. Survey Settings

© 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 15 | Review Feature Definitions on Points Review Superelevation Flag on Points Roadway Template Libraries – Immediate Needs

© 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 16 | GEOPAK SEP files are used. No modifications required. AASHTO 2001, 2004 and 2011 supplied in the box. Superelevation C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Civil\Standards\8.11.9\en\Superelevation

© 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 17 | Workspace Preferences Geographic Coordinate Systems – Take advantage of ground to grid coordinate adjustment factors. Roadway Template Library – Additions for linear and surface templates Design Standards Review reports Additional Feature Definitions for new workflows. Civil Cell Library What Things are Less Urgent in My Select Series 3 Standards?

© 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 18 | User Specific, of course, but can review and make recommendations or defaults. Control appearance of: –Manipulators –Survey locators –Superelevation objects –Heads Up Cursor Workspace Preferences

© 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 19 | New in Microstation/Power Platform for V8i Select Series 3. Allows definition of independent elevation factor for project specific coordinate systems Geographic Coordinate Systems – Ground to Grid Tools > Geographic > Select GCS After select standard GCS, click on Details to apply Helmert Transform. Enter elevation factor in Helmert A.

© 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 20 | Linear Templates – Like sections in GEOPAK site modeler. Area Templates – allow adding subsurface layers to terrain models. (parking lots, etc.) Roadway Templates – Add Linear and Area Templates

© 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 21 | Horizontal Design Standards – design speed based checks for: –Min radius –Kinks –Spiral lengths Vertical Design Standards – linked with horizontal. Design speed based checks for: –Curve length –Max and min slopes AASHTO 2004 & 2011 included in the box Design Standards

© 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 22 | XML based reporting. Same as exists for roadway designer in SS2 Style Sheets can be customized to meet your standards. Custom SS2 style sheets can be used in SS3. Review Reports

© 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 23 | Commands such as Trace Slope can use a feature definition to control the symbology of the elements they create. Over time you might want special feature definitions for these and other purposes. In the beginning, though, use something you already have or just use Microstation active symbology. Additional Feature Definitions
