They have told me they work almost 100% in 2D at the moment but have plans to go 3D in the near future. They&#39;ve said they&#39;ve purchased Microstation and another Bentley package which is 3D (and/or BIM). I&#39;m not sure that the company in question fully understands what true BIM is.</p> <p>I&#39;ve looked around here and YouTube but can&#39;t conclusively work out if Microstation (or the Bentley add-on package) is true BIM or whether it is merely 3D solid modelling without the true (Revit-like) BIM capabilities of genuine parametric modelling, single shared 3D model, intelligent tagging, scheduling, detailing callouts, (basic) quantification, clash detection etc etc.</p> <p>Would greatly appreciate any help and guidance on this.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://communities.bentley.com/achievements/460ac7df-7ccc-4c42-a204-9e05eef3be09Thu, 13 Jun 2019 09:43:23 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:a4509ab1-4d68-4e2e-8f10-eff3b3e4c55aAsk a question in a forum.
