RealityConnect™ for MicroStation

Seamlessly integrate Prevu3D reality capture data with Bentley Systems MicroStation

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.

Key features of RealityConnect™ Plugin for MicroStation

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.

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.

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.
