Bentley Architecture is an advanced, yet intuitive and easy-to-use architectural building information modeling (BIM) application. On Bentley's white paper page, you'll learn about Bentley's BIM strategy, Build as One campaign, and Generative Components.
For information about Bentley's committment to the IAI (International Alliance for Interoperability) and IFC (Industry Foundation Classes), see the IFC White Paper. |
