MicroStation Basics for Building Designers - Chapter 4: Drawing with MicroStation
In this video series, you will be introduced to basic element placement tools and techniques.
When you create a design, you begin by adding elements such as lines, arcs, and circles to the design. While creating these elements, you will learn the advantages of utilizing AccuDraw for precision placement.
Part 1 Drawing the Exterior WallIn this video, you begin the design of the proposed restaurant by drawing the exterior walls for the building using the Structural Grid as reference. You will utilize the Place SmartLine tool along with the aid of AccuDraw for precision placement. | https://youtu.be/6pxYDUe5wA8 |

Part 2 Creating the Interior Walls via Place SmartLineIn this video, you will start to layout the interior walls. Similar to how you created the exterior walls, you will be creating a single-line wall representation via the Place SmartLine tool. Along with that, in support of creating your geometry, you will utilize AccuDraw for precision placement. |
Part 3 Creating the Interior Walls via Place LineIn this video, you will continue to layout a single-line for the interior walls. | https://youtu.be/w--Xqt6V_S0 |

Part 4 Working with Arcs and CirclesIn this video, you will add additional detail to your drawings by adding elements such as arcs and circles to your design. Here you will be drawing the counter-top which will make up the sushi bar and adding in the handicap turn-around circle. |
Challenge Exercises are designed to further solidify those same workflows and procedures that were covered during the lessons. However, these Challenge Exercises are not meant to be a step-by-step, directed, "click here" exercise. Rather, they begin with a small amount of guidance and a general understanding of the outcome.
Challenge Exercise for Drawing with MicroStationThis allows you to take charge of your own learning. We guide less, you explore more. It lets you test yourself, to see what you have learned and mastered. | https://youtu.be/PF1EZNefueE |
