Shawn Foster joins Lawrence Eaton to talk about the Mid-Continent MicroStation Community’s Annual conference in Overland Park, Kansas, August 16th and 17th.

Shawn talks about the do-not-miss sessions in the MicroStation, ProjectWise, Civil, Building, US Army Corps (USACE) as well as the workshop tracks that are being held over both days in the biggest, smallest conference in North America. An essential for user based training and Bentley Systems presentations in the Civil, Building professions as well as those engaged with the USACE as well as MicroStation and ProjectWise.

Lawrence Eaton continues with his exposè of Bentley Architecture v8i’s unsung hero of parametric content creation – Parametric Frame Builder.

It’s Part 3 time and that can only mean “SETTINGS”! Learn about the powerful settings options available in Parametric Framebuilder in Bentley Architecture; how to use them and a guide to saving and deploying those settings. All in one wonderful romp through Bentley Architecture v8i with Lawrence Eaton.

Take your Google Earth ™ image and learn how to create a surface from them; then go one step further and convert this to a mesh before draping the same Google Earth™ image across it.

Lawrence Eaton walks you through the steps to make this a reality and reveal the incredible power of MicroStation v8i!

Lawrence Eaton continues with his exposè of Bentley Architecture v8i’s unsung hero of parametric content creation – Parametric Frame Builder.

In this session, learn how to create a fast, efficient, parametric doorframe, leaf, sill and lintel in less time than it takes you read this abstract, all with Lawrence explaining it all as you go along, which makes it a tad longer.

Lawrence Eaton exposes and explains Bentley Architecture v8i’s unsung hero of parametric content creation – Parametric Frame Builder.

Learn about the different parts of the interface, its use and how to begin the preparation to constructing your own doors and windows in a fast efficient and completely parametric way.

Roofs have always had an allure to most people as both an engineering marvel as well as regarded as art.

Bentley Architecture V8i provides architects with capabilities that are far above the norm. Grab a chair and settle in for Mansard’s, Gambrel’s, hips and pitches… it’s a roller coaster of a toolset ride as Lawrence Eaton walks you through Bentley Architecture V8i’s RoofBuilder toolset.

Need a conference? Need to meet some some people who talk your language? Want to eat some of the biggest ribs you’ve ever seen in your life? Then join Lawrence Eaton as he talks to Shawn Foster of the Mid-continent MicroStation Community who wants to share how versatile he and the MC2 group is when it comes to laying on one of the largest and certainly most diverse conferences this year when it comes to Bentley and the AEC world…..

Lawrence Eaton puts on his slippers, allows his smelly old labrador to cuddly up next to him as he finishes off the Bentley Architecture V8i QuickStart guide with this foray into printing. It’s one episode you’ll want to have your mouse pad hankie ready for and be prepared to be choked up with emotion and yet empowered with skill sets you never had before.

Hold on to your tables and lock yourselves in for this phenomenal insight into Bentley Architecture’s rendering and visualistion capabilites. Lawrence Eaton enthuses over Luxology. Gushes forth when it comes to the abilities and goes to far as to stroke his mouse one too many times. Exhausted he talks about render modes; types of rendering, rendering by part, setting up and placing on a sheet for printing as the climactic finale comes to sight.

The need to clearly and uniformly complete your title blocks is so very simple and one that can save you so much time! Hold hands with Lawrence Eaton as he leads you through, crocodile style, in this little but powerful function to make your life easier. Afterwards, we can collect our blankies and have a snooze…

The presentation of information in your project is vital for the well being of minds and bodies within your company, the project and the client. Exercising the power over this information is what makes Bentley Architecture so compelling. Be compelled, therefore to sit back, listen and pass on to your colleagues, friends and relatives how Lawrence Eaton charters his course of how to create a schedule in the way you want it; how to present it and how to attach this to a sheet for dissemination.

Want to be fitted up? Well you’ve reached the right stage of the Bentley Architecture QuickStart. Lawrence Eaton opens up worlds and paddles around in the basics of text and dimensioning. What will he come up with next, you might ask?

The second part of the enthralling “Composing Drawings” section of the V8i tour with Lawrence Eaton.

Gripping his mouse and flexing his fingers, Lawrence proves once again, why being in control of your content is so vital to the outcome of your project rather than the weak kneed approach of ‘one-size-fits-all’ that other software espouses. So get ready to gasp; have your hands ready to be surprised and have the tissues nearby to mop up the tears of joy as Lawrence takes you into the world of composing sections, stepped sections and multi stepped sections.

I can only say ‘Thank you” to everyone. It’s a personal milestone and hopefully one that I can continue into the future.

What do you want to see; what would you like explained? I’m going to let you drive content, very very soon.

Many thanks, once again,,

The time is nigh and after watching, listening and learning to Lawrence Eaton waffle on you will drag yourself away from this podcast enriched, enlivened in ways you never thought possible and believing that cats and dogs can live together in peace. What is this all about? DRAWINGS! The very name screams to you; Lawrence guides you through how to assemble or compose your production/ construction drawings using some of the most mind bending technology on the market today.

Once man stared into the Abyss, then came Bentley Architecture and gave us Stairs…Join Lawrence Eaton in this very un-Wagner esque descent (or ascent) and learn all about Bentley Architecture’s quite amazing abilities when it comes to stairs.

Hold your breath as Lawrence Eaton walks you through choosing, manipulating and placing, then editing internal doors in this podcast. Using AccuDraw, AccuSnap and a quick mouse hand, gasp how doors are chosen; marvel at how easy it is to place them in your walls and then tell your friends how simple and intuitive it is to edit and manipulate them all whilst employing the veritable likes of AccuDraw; all before you swoon in front of your workstation. BIM and Bentley Architecture come to the fore whilst others melt into cookie cutter applications that are only half baked at best.

This romp through some of Bentley Architecture’s most productive series of functionality finds Lawrence Eaton as close to rapture as one could possibly get. Volume Clipping, View Rotation and the ability to edit and manipulate dynamically is par excellence. Sit back, put your feet up and be engrossed….

This tour de force of a podcast will pummel you with functions such as placing Spaces, ceilings and lighting fixtures as well as how to place them, edit and manipulate your model using Volume Clipping. After taking in the sights and sounds of Bentley Architecture’s functionality, you’ll be left panting and asking who ate all the popcorn!
