This new support enables GIS and mapping professionals to easily move spatial data into and out of Bentley Map without the need to perform pre/post processing or data conversion. All Bentley applications can be used to read this file.īentley Map now includes a new FME Extension, which increases data access and editing to over 225 formats. Bentley Map can publish map models and contents, including properties and associated data sources to the i-model format. Being read-only and self-contained (all references and properties in one file), it can also represent the state of a project or map at a particular point in time. It is useful for transferring design information among various applications. I-model Export (for use in ProjectWise Navigator)Īn i-model is a read-only file that contains all geometry and properties for a particular project. Urban models can be used for a variety of analysis, including shadow and massing studies, animated fly-throughs, visualization, and line of sight studies. Bentley Map can be used to assign properties to those models and store them in Oracle Spatial. Use MicroStation solid modeling tools to interactively create 3D building models. When features containing these links are queried, Bentley Map recognizes the link and restores them for immediate use.īentley Map introduces new tools to support the creation and maintenance of 3D urban building models (also known as 3D City GIS). If a user is working in an Oracle Spatial environment, Bentley Map recognizes these links and stores them in a specific attribute in the Oracle Spatial table. MicroStation supports the ability to link files and images to features in the DGN file. ProjectWise Links and DGN Links Support with Oracle Spatial Persistence Simple CAD data can be easily imported into Bentley Map, simplifying the process of building and maintaining complex data sets. Convert elements to features individually or by selection set or fence.
Properties can be applied during the conversion process. The new Promote tool simplifies the conversion of existing digital data into intelligent Bentley Map features. Contours can be placed at the proper 3D elevation, making them immediately useable by digital elevation modeling tools. Features can be placed at an elevation stored as a feature property. In addition, import now includes improved 3D support. The interoperability tools have been improved with the addition of the GML 3.1.1 support. Once features are joined the properties become available for thematic mapping, labeling, and other property driven tools. The new split and merge tools simplify the maintenance of polygon data sets.įeatures with common properties can now be joined for improved query and reporting. Any rules that are defined in the Bentley Map project will be applied to the resulting attributes. Results from overlays and buffers are now saved as permanent features and can be viewed in the Data Browser.Īny polygonal feature can be split and merged with the new split and merge tools. Users can edit multiple features at once, simplifying the process of mass attribute updates. The Data Browser can now be used to edit the properties of any editable feature. Labels can be saved as text using the Annotation tool.
All of the usual MicroStation text symbology options are supported. Users can create custom maps labeled with one or more properties of the feature.
Bentley Map now includes tools to create dynamic labels from feature properties.
