1 Practice Workbook

2 This workbook is designed for use in Live instructor-led training and for OnDemand selfstudy. The explanations and demonstrations are provided by the instructor in the classroom, or in the OnDemand electures of this course available on the Bentley LEARN Server (learn.bentley.com). This practice workbook is formatted for on-screen viewing using a PDF reader. It is also available as a PDF document in the dataset for this course. Producing Project Deliverables: Creating a Plan Set This workbook contains exercises to generate a plan set. There are several ways to create a set of plans from geometry; however only one is best depending on the data and standards followed. Note: The exercises are meant to be worked on either in order of exercises in each Practice Workbook or as individual standalone exercises. You can start at any exercise. Within a subdirectory of the dataset called Milestones there are files named for each individual exercise; begin by using that particular file.

3 Description and Objectives Course Description This workbook contains exercises to compose a plan set. We ll first start off by creating a design composition, which is bringing together the various pieces of project data such as topography, utilities, proposed features, etc. In turn, we will reference the design composition and create Sheet models. Furthermore, we will embellish the sheets with necessary annotation like the drawing scale, north arrow, title block information and match lines between the cut-sheets. Skills Taught Creating Sheet Models Annotating the Sheet via Text Fields Placing Cells for Sheet-Specific Symbols Attaching References Reference Manipulation Clipping a Reference Creating Saved Views and Name Fences Creating the Plan Set - Design Composition After the project design files have been created, it is time to create a design composition. A composition may also be known as a Layout or Motif. The purpose of this composition is to bring together the individual project components into a single location by referencing them into a 2D or 3D model. In this section, we will compose our project data that will eventually be referenced to the cut-sheets. Attaching References View Modifications

34 Creating the Plan Set - Creating the Cut-Sheets In this type of workflow, our project data is at full scale while the border is scaled-up. However, at the given print scale of 1 =50 our project does not fit with the border. In this section, we will create the adjacent cut-sheet. Note: For the purposes of these exercises, we are just using MicroStation. It is worth mentioning that Bentley s Civil applications have specific tools to generate cut-sheets based upon a corridor. For example, InRoads has the Plan and Profile Generator, and GEOPAK the Plan/Profile Sheet Composition tools. It would be better suited to use these tools if these applications are available to you for this type of effort.
