Rendering With MicroStation
Acknowledgments
I would like thank several people for their help in turning what was originally planned as a
new Bentley Institute course into a complete published book. It is a much needed self study
guide and classroom workbook which now, for the first time, is available to all users, with or

I would like to sincerely thank David Wilkinson for being a contributing editor and for being
