civil object
In Bentley civil software, civil objects are points, lines, alignments, surfaces, meshes, corridors, etc. that were created by Civil Tools in Bentley software or they have been promoted into the civil model by applying a civil feature definition. Native MicroStation objects can be ‘promoted’ to a civil model by assigning civil features to them. Feature definitions, like the former legacy style files, are fundamental to Bentley civil users for the display of objects and standardization of designs.
