Title: Understanding Microstation/J: A Basic Guide to Microstation/J2d Drawing and 3d Modeling Using Smart Solids
Description: 1, Prentice Hall. 2000. (ISBN: 9780130257079). Paperback, 10.8 x 8.3 x 1.1 inches. 8.77 amz nov 2022 A textbook giving the most up-to-date information on Microstation/J, 2D drawing and 3D modelling with SmartSolids. Also contains information about Java and ProjectBank as well as the new productivity enhancements in Microstation/J. Softcover. DLC: Computer graphics. This book, Understanding MicroStation/J, follows in the footsteps of my successful previous text, Understanding MicroStation 95/SE. The text and its illustrations focus on the core software called MicroStation/J®. This includes the new SmartSolid? technology used for 3D modeling that is now incorporated into the core product. This book continues the tradition of being an easy-to-read text covering the basics of creating 2D drawings and 3D models using MicroStation/J. I have been using MicroStation® in my engineering graphics class since the fall of 1995. Throughout the years, I found that MicroStation can be intimidating, especially to someone new to CAD because of its overwhelming number of options and settings. I set out to create a text that shows you actual screen captures and concise explanations-all on the same page! Understanding MicroStation/J cuts through all the bells and whistles of the software and covers the practical essentials of MicroStation/J for the engineering and architectural fields. It is not intended to be an in-depth, extensive technical production reference. Rather, it is for the person wanting to learn the basics of MicroStation/J without having to sort through all the highly technical jargon. This straighttorward, concise presentation of a complicated subject is advantageous whether you are teaching yourself or others. Several aspects of this book set it apart from others: Extensive use of illustrations. These highlight the various tools' settings and options that appear in the dialog boxes of the software. You, the reader, can see exactly what is being discussed since important points are indicated directly on the dialog box. You see information where and when you need it. 2D and 3D in a single book. You don't need to go out and purchase two large technical references to get started with MicroStation. This book covers the basics in both worlds. Numerous examples. These show you how the software techniques and concepts covered are applied. Exercises and questions. Included at the end of the chapters, these can be used in the classroom setting or for hands-on experience and review. Understanding MicroStation/J is organized so that you learn to walk and then run through the power of MicroStation/J. The first fifteen chapters cover MicroStation/J in 2D. Starting with the graphical interface, the text moves quickly into basic 2D elements such as lines, circles, and text, and their modification and manipulation. Chapter 3, "Nifty Gritty," is a quick step-by-step example of how to create, edit, and print a simple drawing. The benefit of this chapter is that you can become productive early on rather than having to read several chapters before producing and evaluating a rough drawing. This is extremely important in a classroom setting but is also advantageous to any beginner because it exposes the power of the software. Chapters dealing with printing and measurements emphasize the concept that elements are drawn to represent real-size objects. Chapter 11 covers AccuDraw® and SmartLine®, topics that are easier to understand after some experience has been gained. Chapters 12 through 15 deal with the more advanced topics of cells, patterning, dimensioning, and reference files. After experiencing the two-dimensional world, you are ready to work in three dimensions. Chapters 16-21 discuss several important 3D topics relevant to the beginning MicroStation/J user. 0-13-025707-9 Paperback - 2001 - good condition - - used books, secondhand books, out of print books, hard to find books, for sale, second-hand books, college books, student books, nonfiction, first edition, exlibrary books sold, signed copies, non-fiction books delivered world wide.
