Bentley Systems, Incorporated software

MicroStation’s advanced parametric 3D modeling capabilities allow infrastructure professionals of any discipline to deliver data-driven, BIM-ready models.  Your team can aggregate their work on MicroStation, including designs and models created with Bentley’s discipline specific BIM applications. As a result, you can create comprehensive, multi-discipline BIM models, documentation, and other deliverables. Since your project team will work in a universal modeling application, they can communicate easily to share intelligent deliverables and maintain the full integrity of your data.

With MicroStation PowerDraft, you have the power to design, document, and detail projects of any size or complexity. Whether you are an architect, engineer, contractor, or GIS professional, you can use PowerDraft as a companion to any modeling or CAD design application. More than just computer-aided drafting software, PowerDraft enables you to develop and produce precise and rich physical and electronic deliverables easily and reliably.

In addition to viewing 3D models, you can use Bentley View as a free CAD viewer with capabilities to search for objects, measure distances and areas accurately, and print drawings to scale with full fidelity, on every desktop, for free. You can easily open DWG and open DXF designs with the same fidelity as the authoring software. With millions of users, Bentley View is the industry`s most powerful free viewer. You can view over 50 file formats, including CAD and raster images as well as Bentley`s uniquely powerful iModels.

You can easily access architecture and engineering models with the ability to view, pan, zoom, and rotate 2D and 3D DGNs and i-models from within Windows Explorer and any Windows application, such as Microsoft Outlook, that uses the preview capability. Save time finding the right models and drawings with the ability to view thumbnails of DGNs and i-models and by searching for files based on their embedded text. You can even take advantage of Windows Touch to interact with drawings and models.

Access business data and architectural, engineering, construction, and operations information embedded within iModels using Excel, Access, Visual Studio, PowerBI or other Windows applications supporting ODBC. With the ability to access this information, you can easily view, analyze, and report on object information and business properties using familiar tools.
