Great tool for modelling infrastructure, which integrates well with mechanical CAD design tools. MicroStation is backed up by quality maintenance and support
I use MicroStation to generate 2D and 3D CADs. I like that it solves my rendering issues, and the software is great because it has stability. The workflow is pretty easy, which I appreciate a lot. Also, it saves changes as I work, reducing data loss, which is really valuable.
I find that layers have been particularly helpful in separating out lighting, furniture, flooring, etc. Layers keep the drawing clean, but all in one spot, so I can easily turn the layer off or on depending on which category I'm needing to show. It can get overwhelming with every layer turned on, so being able to isolate a specific piece of the project is nice. I also like using blocks for quickly placing furniture to navigate traffic patterns throughout the home. Blocks are great for quickly pulling in when needing to represent a potential furniture layout. This saves me time so I'm not having to draw each piece from scratch. The initial setup of MicroStation was easy, with no challenges.
