Bentley Map v8i (SELECTseries 2)

Product Data SheetBentley Map ® V8i (SELECTseries 2)Powerful, Extensible GIS for the World’s InfrastructureBentley Map V8i (SELECTseries 2) is a fully featured GIS that is intrinsically 3D. It is designed toaddress the unique and challenging needs of organizations that map, plan, design, build, and operatethe world’s infrastructure. Bentley Map supports the creation, persistence, maintenance,analysis, and sharing of 2D and 3D geospatial information. It is also ideal for developing customGIS applications, and is available in three editions to support different geospatial workflows.Extrude 2D building outlines into3D features using push/pull solidmodeling controls.Data courtesy City of QuebecBentley Map includes thematic mappingtools for 2D and 3D datasets.Drape aerial imagery over terrain andtexture buildings to enhance realism.Available in Three New Versions to SupportDifferent WorkflowsBentley Map is now available in three versions for differentgeospatial workflows. Bentley Map PowerView supportsviewing and light editing, Bentley Map supports 2D and 3Dediting and analysis, and Bentley Map Enterprise supportsadvanced image management and long transactions in OracleSpatial without the need for a server connection.Native Oracle Spatial Support EnablesCentralized Data StorageOracle Spatial is quickly becoming the standard method fororganizations to store and manage very large volumes of spatialdata. Bentley Map can edit 2D and 3D data directly in any standardOracle Spatial environment. Bentley Map’s connection toOracle enables raster and vector data to be stored in a centralizeddatabase using native Oracle Spatial object definitions.Intelligently Create Geospatial ObjectsBentley Map includes advanced 2D and 3D design productivityinnovations to create and maintain engineering-qualityspatial data. Geospatial objects can be intelligently createdwith ease using interactive snapping tools. Bentley Map alsoincludes dimensioning, annotation, raster display and editing,printing, publishing, and much more.Offers Spatial Analysis andPresentation CapabilitiesThe software also includes a full collection of spatial analysisand presentation capabilities using 2D and 3D data. Amongthese are tools for creating buffers around objects, performingtopology overlays, creating thematic maps, 3D collision detection,labeling, and more.Improved Interoperability for Shorter Design TimeUsers can leverage the tools in Bentley Map to improveinteroperability with other GIS formats. They can directlyreference from the Bentley Map interface Esri SHP files,MapInfo TAB files, Oracle Spatial, ODBC, WMS, GoogleKML/KMZ, 3D PDF, i-models, and others. Data can also beexported into these formats and with other engineeringdisciplines. Moreover, Bentley Map interfaces to FME fromSafe Software, greatly extending interoperability.Feature Symbology SynchronizedWith AttributionBentley Map has administrative tools to define features,attributes, symbology, behavior, and placement tools. It alsoincludes tools to promote simple geometries to intelligentfeatures with full attribution. The product ensures that featuresymbology remains synchronized with attribution.Powerful Rendering Tools Generate Scenesand Fly-ThroughsPowerful 3D rendering tools are included to generate scenesand fly-throughs of urban models. Capabilities include shadowstudies, line of sight, view corridors, street profiles, disasterscenario studies, and more.Profit from Advanced Map Finishing Tools andan Extended API for Speedy CustomizationIts advanced text display capabilities allow map features tobe presented with drop shadows, halo effects, linear gradatedfill, and other map finishing effects. Advanced support forthe placement and manipulation of curved text enablesusers to create and modify text and annotations associatedwith any spatial element. Bentley Map is also designed witha remarkable degree of flexibility and configurability so thatsubject matter experts can customize it without having towrite new code.
