This chapter introduces the most useful and basic techniques in Microstation and Geopak to create 3D models of roadway designs, and navigate around those 3D models using Microstation viewport tools and cameras. The chapter covers the basics for rendering, saving and displaying visualizations from 3D models within Microstation. Also covered are advanced 3D modeling in Microstation and links to drawing and design resources.
