OpenSite Designer

OpenSite Designer is an application made for site design and engineering. You can create and optimize multiple design scenarios in days, not weeks. Using auto-drawing capabilities and dynamic 3D modeling, conceptualize and detail building pads, parking lots, sidewalks, streets, and other design features. OpenSite Designer includes OpenSite SITEOPS. 

The price of OpenSite Designer varies per region. While there are various types of licensing available, a common choice is the 12-month practitioner license offered through Bentley’s eStore. When you purchase through the eStore, you get a Virtuoso Subscription. This means you get the software and “Keys” (tokens) to redeem for training and services. 

Site design software helps civil engineers plan, model, analyze, and deliver land development projects. It supports site layout, grading, drainage, utilities, and required documentation using model‑centric workflows, enabling teams to evaluate feasibility, refine designs, and produce construction‑ready deliverables from concept through detailed design. 

Yes. OpenSite Designer supports conceptual, preliminary, and detailed design in one application. Its site layout tools follow civil engineering standards to ensure feasibility. As an all‑in‑one solution, it supports parking and building layout, earthwork grading, site design, ponds, sanitary and stormwater networks, subsurface utilities, construction documentation, and staking reports, covering end‑to‑end site design needs. 

You can produce a complete array of 2D and 3D design deliverables with automated drawing production tools to produce high-quality documentation. Since all deliverables adhere to project standards and are created from the same model, you can be confident of your deliverables. OpenSite Designer provides design, volume, and analysis in industry-standard formats for data exchange and reporting. 

OpenSite Designer provides an open modeling environment allowing you to integrate data from different disciplines to improve collaboration and ensure all users are working from the latest model in all phases of the design. Working in the live model using the data interactively reduces risk, and working with site, rail, road, bridge, drainage, subsurface utilities, geotechnical, and other design teams helps identify conflicts earlier in the process and eliminate construction errors and delays.

Yes, OpenSite Designer is a built-for-purpose site design application and provides 3D modeling for site designers to elevate single-family residential design and layout to ensure an integrated multidiscipline workflow and increased return on investment. The software’s auto parcel creation technology helps designers create detailed designs while identifying project risk points.
