Bentley Civil 3D equivalent

Hi all,

Sorry if this has been asked or explained before but I emailed the customer service team and to my surprise they were unable to answer what I assumed were very simple questions and they asked me to post about it here instead. This is my first post so apologies if this is in the wrong location.

My question is what is the Bently equivalent of AutoCAD Civil 3D like the program you would use for creating plan and profiles and not having to update the information everywhere manually like just updating an alignment that has z coordinates and what you would use for drawing pipe networks etc. I am lets say a novice slowly approaching intermediate so even reading product descriptions I can't really figure this out myself.

I have been told by some work colleagues a few years ago that it was InRoads but this does not seem to available anymore and if I am following things correctly this has now been renamed open roads?

But then when I look at a description of open roads to me it seems to be a program exclusively for just designing highways and detailed roads which is not what I am looking for.

It all seems very confusing to me.

And also whatever the software is that I am asking about can this run independently on it's own like the way you can use Civil 3D for not only 3D drawings but it can also so everything that the normal 2D AutoCAD can do or with Bentley do you need the MicroStation vi8 2D software if you still want to go back and do the basic 2D drawings.

Also one last question is their any specific program out there Bentley, AutoCAd or otherwise for converting MicroStation to Cad and Cad to MicroStation that works best. I know it's possible to do this but it's not always straight forward and easy similar to say changing a PDF back to word document every situation is different and it all depends on how the original was created and a lot of times in the Engineering industry you don't have access to the information of how a particular file was originally created.

Thanks
