Bentley Class Editor V8i 8.3

Bentley Class Editor V8i is a utility for creating, viewing, and maintaining EC (Engineering Content) schemas used across the Bentley V8i product line. It lets administrators, BIM managers, and power users define classes, properties, relationships, and custom attributes that govern how engineering data is structured and exchanged within Bentley applications and i-model workflows.

Key capabilities:

• Visual schema authoring: Create and edit EC classes, properties, inheritance, and relationships.
• Custom attributes: Apply constraints, units, and metadata to standardize data behavior and presentation.
• Validation and versioning: Check schemas for consistency and manage incremental updates safely.
• Import/export: Reuse and share ECSchema XML files across projects and teams.
• Compare and merge: Identify differences between schema versions to streamline change management.
• Documentation support: Generate human-readable schema summaries to aid governance and onboarding.

Typical uses:

• Tailoring data models for MicroStation and other V8i applications.
• Standardizing asset and attribute definitions for OpenPlant, ProjectWise, and related workflows.
• Preparing schemas for i-model creation and data exchange.

Notes:

• V8i denotes compatibility with Bentley’s V8i generation of products and EC schema versions used in that era.
• Ideal for organizations that need consistent, governed engineering data structures across multiple projects and disciplines.
