Bentley Map embraces XFM Bentley Systems, Incorporated 4/15/2017 Bentley Map embraces XFM XFM environment completely supported Database attributes Legacy project conversion Project, NOT data! Query tools Support for all geospatial tools An extensible environment for development © 2002 Bentley Systems, Incorporated

Bentley Systems, Incorporated 4/15/2017 Bentley Map Map Manager Easy to use interface for accessing geospatial data Interoperability Import, export, reference SHP, MapInfo, Oracle Spatial Coordinate System Tools Define coordinate systems for maps, OTF projections etc. Geospatial Administrator Define and manage geospatial XFM projects © 2002 Bentley Systems, Incorporated

Bentley Systems, Incorporated 4/15/2017 Bentley Map Thematic Mapping Full time, no need to recreate objects Analysis (Buffering, Overlay) Layer based, works on layer, not what’s in the view Builds topology automatically, no separate process Print Preparation Quickly create drawing sheets using your own borders Supports title block information © 2002 Bentley Systems, Incorporated

Bentley Systems, Incorporated 4/15/2017 What is XFM? eXtreme Facility Modeling? eXtensible Feature Model? XML for Mapping? XML Feature Modeling! © 2002 Bentley Systems, Incorporated

Bentley Systems, Incorporated 4/15/2017 Why XFM? Create Models, not just Drawings Smart placement tools build intelligent engineering models for infrastructure management Improve Standards Symbology and annotation based on asset attributes Extend tools to design realm Common framework promotes common applications Move from desktop to enterprise applications More accurate models promote better understanding and downstream support Reduce development, training and maintenance costs © 2002 Bentley Systems, Incorporated

Bentley Systems, Incorporated 4/15/2017 Moving to Bentley Map The XFM project is now the supported project GeoGraphics projects need to be imported into the XFM environment Your data does not need to be imported! Only the project description. © 2002 Bentley Systems, Incorporated

If you are not an existing GeoGraphics user… Bentley Systems, Incorporated 4/15/2017 If you are not an existing GeoGraphics user… Define your project using the GSA. Your feature definition should match your current symbology Define properties as required. Map will recognize your features and add properties automatically! © 2002 Bentley Systems, Incorporated

To really take advantage of XFM you may want to… Bentley Systems, Incorporated 4/15/2017 To really take advantage of XFM you may want to… Evaluate current feature model Consolidate features by using PBS? Consolidate features by using PBA? Evaluate placement and editing tools Take advantage of standard placement library © 2002 Bentley Systems, Incorporated

Property Based Annotation and Symbology Bentley Systems, Incorporated 4/15/2017 Property Based Annotation and Symbology Symbology changes based on properties Annotation tied directly to properties Demo © 2002 Bentley Systems, Incorporated

Bentley Systems, Incorporated 4/15/2017 Adopt PBA and PBS Four monument features Consolidate to one Drive placement by class. Based on class, the appropriate cell is placed. Optional annotation based on ID Reduce features, reduce schema complexity, increase quality based on PBA, PBS use © 2002 Bentley Systems, Incorporated

Dynamic Feature Scoring (DFS) Bentley Systems, Incorporated 4/15/2017 Dynamic Feature Scoring (DFS) A process by which Bentley Map recognizes features For XFM, features are recognized if the level is defined in the schema For GeoGraphics projects, a check is made of the feature linkage. Editing or reset of the feature causes and PBS and PBA rules to be run Demo © 2002 Bentley Systems, Incorporated

Bentley Systems, Incorporated 4/15/2017 DFS - Advantages One feature model to support GeoGraphics and MicroStation feature models automatically supported Easy implementation for new users Easy adoption of XFM features © 2002 Bentley Systems, Incorporated

Bentley Systems, Incorporated 4/15/2017 Easier Placement Lot line feature in Mytown – 5 commands Reduce to standard Place, Edit, Delete commands with many options. Simpler interface, easier operation, easier training © 2002 Bentley Systems, Incorporated
