Migrating from CAD to BIM
Bentley supports the need for an evolutionary migration from CAD to BIM, allowing you to upgrade at your own pace and leverage past investments in software, customization, and training.
Technology
While CAD has served as a valuable tool for decades, it has largely been used as an aid to documentation. BIM builds on the capabilities of CAD through discipline specific applications that inform and enhance design, construction, and operations as well.
Processes
BIM benefits your work processes by enabling a shift of work from late documentation efforts to early design opportunities, where your ability to positively impact change is greatest.
Business Practices
BIM is well suited to the changing methods of practice our industry is adopting. Design-build, project alliances, build-operate, and integrated practice projects all benefit from the use of BIM.
Attitude
BIM can change your attitude. Spend your time doing what you love, making better buildings, rather than on mundane busy work.
