What was the best part about using MicroStation?
MicroStation is a CAD software product for two and three dimensional design and drafting. MicroStation has the ability for drafting/detailing, 3D modeling, rendering, and even animations. Microstation can be used in many industries including AEC Automotive
Computer, Construction, Education, Electronics, Engineering, General,Landscaping / Maintenance, Manufacturing, Software. it allows Management of User Roles and Permissions.It supports more filetypes than Autocad
What would you change about your experience with MicroStation?
Does not support cost estimation and documentation. The software crashes often. Text editing with the text box gets some getting used to - it would be nice to edit the text and have the tools right in the text location. MicroStation pattern hatching only uses cells to fill in the symbols. It would be nice to have a pattern library like AutoCAD to fill/flood in the whole area. The learning curve is steep for new users
Overall Feedback
MicroStation is a modeling environment explicitly for the architecture, engineering, construction, and operation of all infrastructure types including utility systems, roads and rail, bridges, buildings, communications networks, water and wastewater networks, process plants, mining, and more. MicroStation can be used either as a software application or as a technology platform.This software is recommended for drafting and 3D modeling. It will take some getting used to however, especially if you are used to AutoCAD. If you want a software that is more of an all-in-one program as opposed to just a drafting program, Betnley Microstation is good for you.
