Colour palettes in Bentley Microstation 3D

The files permit fast access to all colours. The result of the rendering is marked by precision, both in measurement and in colour exactness.

Destination directory

Microstation J/95/SE/TriForma

WIN32APP\USTN55\MATERIAL

The adherence to this destination path is not necessary for the availability of the palettes in the program.

In this program variant CMYK palettes (art print, uncoated paper, newsprint) are defined in RGB.

Using colour palettes in Bentley Microstation 3D

1. The colour palettes are available in the wanted output optimized form in Micrstation after the installation:
2. Start Microstation and open a new or an existing file.
3. Choose „Settings/Rendering/Assign Materials“.
4. Load the colour palette that fits you output situation („File/Open Palette“).
5. You can assign colours to objects by using „Tools/Assign“ or „Tools/Assign by selection“.
6. You can choose the Rendering process via „Utilities/Render“. The most exact but also the most time consuming process is „Phong/Antialias“.

 

The colours are transferred into the current project through the materials window.
While doing so the colour names are shown, and a preview is offered.
