Bentley Microstation Plugin
Infrastructure-focused design validation and asset creation
Integrate Reality Capture Data into Infrastructure Design
See how the RealityConnect™ Plugin makes it easy to import high-resolution point clouds and meshes of complex infrastructure into MicroStation. Segment and generate RealityAssets™ for intuitive design validation, asset planning, and cross-team collaboration directly within your CAD workspace.
Bentley MicroStation Plugin Key Features
Integrate Reality Capture Data
Import real-world environments into MicroStation for precise infrastructure design.
-
Import full RealityPlatform™ scenes—including dense point clouds and photorealistic meshes—directly into MicroStation.
-
Establish accurate context for bridges, roadways, and industrial structures with georeferenced 3D scans.
-
Enable design teams to work directly within the real-world geometry of the site.
Optimize Asset Quality & Performance
Create and manage lightweight, high-impact RealityAssets™ to improve usability and collaboration.
-
Generate segmented RealityAssets™ for specific infrastructure elements like girders, piers, or utilities.
-
Adjust mesh resolution and Level of Detail (LOD) during import to balance visual fidelity with performance.
-
Maintain smooth navigation even in dense urban or high-span structural scans.
-
Streamline collaboration by ensuring assets remain light, exportable, and easily shareable across teams.
Bring MicroStation Designs into RealityPlan
Close the loop between CAD and site conditions with immersive, contextual design reviews.
-
Import updated MicroStation designs into Prevu3D’s RealityPlan™ for spatial validation in real-world scans.
-
Compare design intent directly against existing site conditions to identify clashes or integration gaps.
-
Facilitate faster design iterations by visualizing changes in 3D context.
-
Enable remote team collaboration through web-based RealityPlan™, allowing stakeholders to comment, annotate, and align on changes from anywhere.
