What do I need to set up?
I Want to Start Using Select Series 3…
3 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
• 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 want 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
4 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
• 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– Survey Settings
Which Files Cannot be Shared Between Select Series 2 and 3?
5 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
• 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?
6 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
• 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?
7 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
• 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?
8 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
• Angle Readout format is used by Civil Commands• Working Units > Advanced – Set Solids Working Area to
1 for best 3D modeling.• Civil Formatting – For Civil Commands
Design Files Settings Used By Civil
9 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
• 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
10 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
• Civil_Superelevation_Rules_Directory• Stroking for model:
– Civil_Default_Linear_Stroking– Civil_Default_Profile_Stroking– Civil_Default_Curve_Stroking
• Civil_Default_Station_Lock• Civil_Roadway_Template_Library• Civil_Survey_Stylefile• Civil_CivilCells_DgnLib_File• MS_DgnLibList
Civil Configuration Variables
11 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
• 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
12 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
• 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
13 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
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
14 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
• 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
15 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
• Review Feature Definitions on Points
• Review Superelevation Flag on Points
Roadway Template Libraries – Immediate Needs
16 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
• 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
17 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
• 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?
18 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
• 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
19 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
• 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.
20 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
• 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
21 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
• 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
22 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
• 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.
• Workshop:
Customizing XSLs for XML Reports
Review Reports

• 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
24 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM | © 2012 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
• Civil Cells allow creation and reuse of complex geometric constructions.
• Start slow and build out over time.
