Round Table: Make the Difference – Delivering BIM Projects with OpenBuildings Designer
Leveling up from CAD to BIM is more valuable than ever before. In this round table our experts will discuss the latest BIM trends in the industry, delivery of building design and infrastructure projects to meet current demands and how to improve business outcomes using OpenBuildings Designer.
Expert Talk: See the Difference – Accelerate Architectural Design Delivery Using OpenBuildings Designer
Information models are vital to making important design decisions right from the project’s conceptual stage. Learn how to create and make the most of BIM tools, from space planning to producing intelligent project deliverables using OpenBuildings Designer.
Expert Talk: Recognize the Difference – Designing Mechanical Systems Using OpenBuildings Designer
Mechanical components are the hidden lifeline system of buildings. Let’s talk about how BIM workflows help us model these intelligent systems with OpenBuildings Designer. Starting with simple single modeling, learn how to create 3D models quickly by making assemblies of components. In addition learn how quickly you can produce drawings with automatic annotations from 3D models and other outputs to meet your project delivery requirements.

Hear first-hand from a fellow industry professional about their journey from CAD, to tapping into all the benefits of BIM, the challenges of the transition and how the right tool helped overcome them.
Embark on the Journey to Levelling Yourself UP from CAD to BIM with OpenBuildings Designer
OpenBuildings Designer helps deliver well-designed and high-performing building design projects while taking advantage of the many benefits associated with BIM.
Collaborate Better
Integrate data coming in multiple file formats (e.g., IFC, SDNF, ISM) from different project types and third-party applications.
Optimize Time and Costs
Produce accurate and trustworthy drawings and models that can used to save time and money in the documentation process.
Enhance Design Efficiency
Use 3D modeling techniques and parametric intelligent objects to create BIM models with geometries of different sizes and complexity.
Minimize Design Errors
Easily detect and resolve clashes in the virtual model to avoid design errors that may otherwise delay the design process.
Shorten Learning Curve
Master the software with in-app learning, video tutorials and extensive support.

“As architects, we spend a disproportionate amount of time and resources trying to represent our solutions rather than designing them. Computational design [using GenerativeComponents in OpenBuildings Designer] has allowed our team to focus on resolving problems and finding better design solutions.”
The Tools You Need for the Way You Work
Architectural Designer
Benefit at every stage in your project’s planning, design, and construction using just one multidisciplinary BIM application.
- Design a future-proof building while saving time, reducing costs, and achieving higher quality results throughout the life cycle of a building
- Explore, visualize, simulate, and validate design options rapidly
- Improve collaboration across different teams and disciplines
- Make informed decisions by studying the environmental impact of the building at any stage of the process
BIM Manager / Coordinator
Manage resources efficiently with data, drawings and schedules produced using a single, multi-disciplinary BIM application for all stages of your project.
- Implement project standards effectively with a single application
- Improve collaboration within the team and with external stakeholders
- Streamline training and support for just one application instead of managing multiple software
- Improve productivity through Bentley Learn training, mentoring, and consulting
Building Services Engineer
Work efficiently in a model-based, information-rich, collaborative design environment to design services for future-proof buildings, be it civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, or plumbing systems.
- Project visualizations validate designs and communicate intent
- Integrate models from multiple disciplines and detect clashes at any stage to improve coordination
- Enjoy a top performance with large-scale data files
Take the Pain Out of Purchasing
Getting started is easy. With small business pricing and an all-inclusive package of software, support, and training; you’ll be up and running in no time.
