SS3 marked a major advancement in point cloud capabilities, particularly when paired with Bentley Descartes V8i (SELECTseries 3). The release delivered industry-first functionality: . Users could process extremely large scalable terrain models (STMs) containing billions of points, drape high-resolution imagery over those models, and export to MicroStation Terrain formats. This made SS3 an excellent choice for infrastructure asset management and 3D city modeling.
