Microstation – Learn 2D and 3D CAD design

1

Microstation – Learn 2D and 3D CAD design, learn to design CAD using the Bentley Microstation Connect – V8.

In this course, we will learn the basics of Microstation. Starting with lectures, we will go through 27 lectures in order to completely understand all the basics. Once lectures are completed, 15 exercises will be completed one by one that will lead to the final project. The project is for student to complete in all respects; however, 10 lectures are added after exercise in case student wants to complete the project with aid of these lectures.
