Reality Modeling Data Processing Software

Bring Reality Into Your Modeling

What Is Bentley Descartes?

When infrastructure projects require the conversion of legacy documents, Descartes helps you integrate all imagery in your engineering workflows. To integrate and process reality modeling data for information modeling workflows, you should have in mind Descartes.  

Using Descartes, you can edit and clean up reality modeling data such as point clouds with billions of points, changing their classification, color and removing or editing points.  Integrate any 2D or 3D imagery into your engineering workflows to make well-informed design decisions and improve the overall quality of your project. Easily model geometry from reality modeling data to extract break lines, paint lines, surfaces, planes, cylinder, and cylinder center lines. Descartes lets you create high-fidelity images to support precision mapping and engineering, and you can process raster images to add visualization and context to your infrastructure projects.
