Delivering High-Performance Buildings

Unite the project lifecycle earlier in the design process to make better informed decisions. What if there was a way to save time and increase your productivity using Bentley BIM tools? Join us to view the Bentley Building applications which address the following topics:

  • Massing Model Creation: Solid Modeling, Space Planning tools, Generative Design tools,
  • Site Development: Topography, contours
  • Interoperability: Sketchup, Rhino, 3DS integration
  • Rendering: Luxology, Dynamic Views, Display Modes, Conduct Solar studies
  • Output: 3D PDF, Presentation Drawings

Use our BIM tools earlier on for quick and easy schematic planning and modeling. Creating drawings and reports, that is coordinated with the model during schematic or conceptual design phases. The results can be carried forward to subsequent phases and is easily reused or repurposed.
