We understand that it has been a while since a new post appeared here and we suppose we have no excuses. Of course we have been very busy and yes, the product has advanced to a state where we are ready for production use. The important point is that this blog is back and we will try to provide a bit http://blog.visitanywhere.info/2010/06/visit-anywhere-update.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Dennis Sellinger)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984198724204164698.post-1499749371671135670Wed, 04 Jun 2008 20:32:00 +00002008-06-15T14:33:07.703-07:00ArchitectureThe ViSit Anywhere product was designed and implemented over several years. When we started the project we did the right thing. We locked ourselves in a quite room for one week to examine what worked and what didn't work in ViSit v3 and ViSit/Web. We noted all the things we always wanted and all the thing we could never do. We concentrated on the what and not the how. After a week we had http://blog.visitanywhere.info/2008/06/store-yourself-in-context.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Dennis Sellinger)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984198724204164698.post-6799265698997340642Thu, 29 May 2008 19:41:00 +00002008-06-04T13:30:34.630-07:00UIWith the first ViSit Anywhere beta release now shipping, I wanted to give non-beta testers an idea of what the first release is about and what to expect. Before we start, I want to point out that there are two flavors of ViSit Anywhere, standalone and hosted in Microstation. We have made every effort to ensure that the two tools have he same functionality and the same user interaction logic. http://blog.visitanywhere.info/2008/05/visit-anywhere-user-interface.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Dennis Sellinger)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984198724204164698.post-6334937115978155772Fri, 16 May 2008 20:47:00 +00002008-05-19T02:08:47.734-07:00Data ModelA couple of years ago when Bentley first released Microstation v8, we were considering how to move ViSit forward onto the new platform. At the time it was clear that the new design file format was going to to result in a lot of re-work in ViSit just to stay where we were with in Microstation/J. This was very disconcerting since we felt that if we were to make this move, we would have to providehttp://blog.visitanywhere.info/2008/05/visit-anywhere-change-management.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Dennis Sellinger)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984198724204164698.post-5717387807367673807Thu, 20 Mar 2008 21:41:00 +00002008-05-16T08:27:12.389-07:00ArchitectureThis article provides some insights into the ViSit Anywhere architecture, and shows exactly why we think that it can be used to as a foundation for work-centered GIS and geo-engineering applications. Physically, the architecture of ViSit Anywhere is straight forward.

When we were designing ViSit Anywhere, we started with the ViSit site model. From our point of view, the ViSit site model had proved its utility, as it had long provided a flexible, high performance foundation for our Microstation applications.
