Instructors
The seminar will be led by one of the primary instructors listed below, as
well as others from The Envision Group professional staff.
Ronald J.
Brys, PLS
Mr. Brys, is the founder and president of the training and
consulting firm The Envision Group. He is a former Land Surveyor, designer, and
CADD system administrator. He has specialized in the software MicroStation &
InRoads from Bentley Systems Corporation. His experience with the application of
the software for engineering firms is invaluable in the instruction and ultimate
use in a productive manner.
He received his degree in Civil Engineering
Technology from the Madison Area Technical College and became a licensed Land
Surveyor in 1981. Mr. Brys is a qualified instructor for the InRoads suite of
products including InRoads (roadway/site design) and InRoads Survey (survey data
collection and processing). He is also a qualified instructor for classes
ranging from MicroStation Basics to advanced topics such as 3D modeling
and visualization.
He has nearly three decades of experience in the
management of data for civil engineering design and construction projects
ranging from airports, urban infrastructure design, to environmental sites and
facilities.
Robert B. Mecham
Mr. Mecham joined the
training and consulting firm The Envision Group in 2000 and became a partner in
June of 2002. He has specialized in the software MicroStation & InRoads from
Bentley Systems Corporation. Mr. Mecham had become an industry expert in the
implementation, configuration, development, and customization of the two
software applications MicroStation and InRoads.
He received his degree in
Civil Engineering Technology from the Madison Area Technical College in 1992.
Mr. Mecham is a “qualified Instructor” for MicroStation classes ranging from
fundamentals to advanced productivity. He has extensive experience using,
implementing, and instructing both InRoads Survey and InRoads Site
Design.
He has over a decade of experience in the use, implementation,
and management of software and CADD systems. Valuable experience was gained
working for a wide range of organizations providing services from general survey
and engineering services to specific applications such as landfills and site
design.
Course Description
For the new MicroStation user, this
course builds a solid foundation in the concepts, tools, and features found in
the MicroStation drawing environment. Starting with setting up a drawing and
concluding with plotting, the participant is walked through a typical workflow
using the tools and features of the latest version of MicroStation.
Interspersed throughout are real-world design problems solved using the
concepts learned to the point in the course. Various engineering disciplines are
represented in the form of hands-on exercises. Course participants will learn to
create, organize, view, modify, annotate, and plot drawings in a 2-D
environment. No prior CADD experience is necessary.
You will gain a solid
understanding of MicroStation. The ability to create and edit 2D designs using
established design standards in a production environment.
