 How is it different than what is in Civil 3D already?
Much more than a .DGN export

Think of the .DGN as an electronic plot.

For example, it contains lines and curves
but not the underlying project data that
created them.

Imports and exports the native project data

 Play Goals
Net-New opportunity for customers utilizing Bentley Roadway Design
Products
Bentley users moving to OpenRoads that are open to
changing design tools AEC Collection, C3D, InfraWorks 360
Bentley users not open to changing design tools, but open to
changing the way they present/communicate to
customers/stakeholders InfraWorks 360 & Navisworks
Why Change?
Bentley Civil Software does not support
dynamic design. It is manual, laborious, and
time consuming which is also subject to
human error.
Communicating with stakeholders using
traditional 2D plots and renderings is difficult
for lay persons to understand and time
consuming to generate.
The tools in the AEC Collection reduce risk by
improving the quality of output while
streamlining the task thus saving time and
increasing profit.
Why Now?
Technical Benefits
Bentley is transitioning to OpenRoads, now is
the time to evaluate other software.
Cost Benefits:
Bentley Customers are unhappy with the
software metering/overages. AEC Collections
offer predictable budgeting.

Why Autodesk?
Autodesk is the only vendor in the world that has
both a true horizontal BIM modeling platform
(InfraWorks 360) and vertical modeling platform
(Revit). Autodesk products are deeply engrained
in both primary and secondary schools.

What is it?
AEC Collection is a set of tools targeted at Civil Infrastructure and Building design. The Collection contains AutoCAD
Civil 3D, InfraWorks 360, Revit, Navisworks Manage, Vehicle Tracking, Recap 360 and more.
What does it do?
AutoCAD Civil 3D: Dynamic Horizontal Detailed design and documentation tool. Provides a complete solution for
Roadway design and plan generation.
InfraWorks 360: 3D Preliminary design and visualization tool. Allows you to quickly generate existing conditions,
create intelligent roadways/intersections, and visualizations are a byproduct of the design process.
ReCap 360: Processes Images and Laser scans to produce Point Clouds, Imagery, Meshes, and 3D models.
Who uses it?
Civil Engineers who provide design services to cities, counties, and state DOTs. Typical services include
Corridor/Environmental Studies, Roadway, Bridge, and Drainage design.
How do they do this today?
Preliminary goes through the same arduous process as detailed design.
Detailed design is non dynamic, which makes changes time consuming.
Visualizations are typically reserved for large budget projects due to cost.
What are the key benefits and business values?
The AEC Collection provides a comprehensive Horizontal and Vertical BIM Solution. Quickly generate multiple design
options and visualizations that can moved into a dynamic design environment which better facilitates the creation of
production plans.
Competitor Our Competitive Advantage
Bentley: GEOPAK, InRoads, MicroStation Bentley has several design products used in the U.S. (GEOPAK, InRoads), that run on their CAD
platform (MicroStation). Both design products are built on old technology. They are currently
transitioning to a dynamic design platform (OpenRoads). Autodesk has been utilizing dynamic
design for sometime and is well ahead of the curve. This transition provides Bentley customers
with an opportunity to evaluate Autodesk products.
