An InRoads book like no other, ever.
"I rarely have the time in a class to say everything that needs to be said about this software; this book allows me to say what should be covered." —Mark
Learn the underlying essentials of the software and how to "understand" it, not just robotically operate it; Instructor-led or self-paced.
Some of the many topics covered are:
• InRoads Version 8.2 and 8.4
• Exactly how to get started
• Software symbology control
• Precisely what each Lock does along with all of their associated commands
• How to implement the software
• The 2 different aspects of a Surface
• Creating surfaces with contour data
• How to create Exterior Boundaries
• Relationships between the 4 Managers
• Geometry layout using the PI and Element methods, among others
• Rules of Typical Section Transitioning
• The 3 mandatory characteristics that all surface data must be given
• The relationship between the Geometry Style Manager and the Point Symbology
• The exact relationships between Typical Sections and the resulting Surface models
Bonus CD:
• Expandable database with over 1000 searchable Pointers and Tips
Compelling accolade:
"This book is truly awesome - The examples and background explanations are insightful. At last - a reference source is available to help me solve the problems I have encountered while utilizing this software to design a wide range of projects. This is the reference guide that I have been looking for; it provides a detailed and comprehensive understanding getting to the core functionality of this software package. It has enabled me to use InRoads more efficiently and trouble free, and with simple explanations. This book has taken my InRoads understanding and utilization to a whole new level!
This book has catapulted my understanding of Managers and Locks, and did it in plain English!
Thank you, Mark.
Sincerely,
—Jim Rhodes.

The Author:
As an '81 University of Pittsburgh graduate, with a degree in Civil Engineering, Mark began his career surveying for several years on the East coast. Then in early '84 he moved to Phoenix, Arizona and started working as a design engineer at a private firm. Having learned the early version MicroStation in '84 (and what would eventually become InRoads); he was chosen to be trained on the first official release of InRoads in the late 80's at the new Rick Engineering office in Phoenix. From there he moved to Los Angeles in 1991 to work with Bechtel on the Euro-Disney project as the Civil lead. In early 1995 he was employed at Intergraph and eventually wound up with Bentley in 2001 through their purchase of the InRoads technology. In November 2001 he founded Zen Engineering.
Mark has worked with 100's of engineering firms and has worked with 1000's of users from all over the country while training entire state DOT's in Connecticut, Hawaii, and Alabama. He as also providing training for Caltrans, NDOT, NJDOT, ADOT, Los Angeles County, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Corps of Engineers and many, many users from private firms such as Bechtel, Parsons, PBQD, DMJM, URS, Boyle, CH2M Hill, Fluor Daniel, HDR, and Wade-Trim.
