The tradition continues-learn MicroStation/J from a visual approach that has proved exemplary! Understanding MicroStation/J covers the essentials of the both 2D drawings and 3D models including the new SmartSolids found in MicroStation/J. It continues the straightforward and easy-to-read format as seen in its predecessor, Understanding MicroStation 95/SE, a highly acclaimed and widely adopted textbook. Readers are shown actual screen captures along with "pointed" information that have proven to be exceptional features. MicroStation/J is simplified and streamlined into the basic essentials needed to learn and use the software from a beginning level. It also contains up-to-date information about Java and ProjectBank as well as the new productivity enhancements introduced in MicroStation/J. The first fifteen chapters cover the use of CAD in two dimensions. Chapters 16-21 discuss three-dimensional topics, such as rendering, solid modeling with SmartSolids, and using 3D models to create drawings. The final chapter focuses on ProjectBank, a new concept in MicroStation, along with Java and object-oriented CAD. Numerous examples and end-of-chapter Questions and Exercises give readers the opportunity to test their knowledge and practice what they've learned. This book can be used as either a course textbook or a self-instruction manual. It is geared toward engineering/architecture students but also addresses the needs of people working in industry, especially those involved in the field of transportation.Coen-Brown, Karen L. is the author of 'Understanding Microstation/J A Basic Guide to Microstation/J 2d Drawing and 3d Modeling Using Smartsolids', published 2000 under ISBN 9780130257079 and ISBN 0130257079.
