Bentley Architecture V8i
This review explores the improvements in the new V8i version of Bentley Architecture, including its new conceptual design and space planning capabilities, dynamic views that ensure better drawing coordination, new display styles that allow high-quality presentation graphics to be easily created, native support of Rhino and SketchUp files with live links, and the new Luxology rendering engine that allows high-end renderings and animations to be created within the application.

Excellent job.
Very well put
“On the flip side, I found that the improvements in the V8i version have done little to reduce the complexity of the application, and it still remains as daunting as ever to learn and use. In fact, the addition of new tools and features continues to simply add to the complexity, to the vast number of dialogs, options, and settings that must be understood before any real progress can be made with the application. What makes the learning process even more difficult is the poor quality of the documentation. A QuickStart Guide is available, but it covers only very basic aspects of the program. It does not provide guidance on how to set up and structure a project across multiple files, how to create multiple levels, and so on. It is also difficult get a good understanding of the new features in Bentley Architecture V8i without delving deep into the documentation of MicroStation V8i.”
Couldn’t agree more
