Connection client support and 8 Model view where we can see multiple area of the drawings by just moving or chaning a tab. This feature is very helpful when you view a large drawing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Very old look on interface, need to enhanced with digital colours. Shortcuts not available, basic CAD requires shortcut to ace the actions, If shortcuts displayed while hovering it will be awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bentley View is a pleasant software that is easy on the computer and allows us to open and review DWG files with ease. It allows us to view complex 2D and 3D designs in great detail, thus making it a hassle-free experience in examining our CAD modules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It would be good if it guides us in the field of performance optimization while using complex models. An improvement in this area would be beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It lets us view, explore, and print 2D and 3D design files created with Bentley's design and modeling software. Bentley View provides a range of functionalities for visualizing and analyzing design data. Itoffers advanced features such as clash detection, which helps identify potential conflicts between different design elements, and visualization tools for rendering realistic images and animations of the design.

Bentley View has a few limitations. It lacks advanced features compared to full-fledged CAD software, making it less powerful. Compatibility issues may arise with files from other CAD programs. Performance can be slower for larger models. There is a learning curve, particularly for new CAD users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It allows users to view & navigate complex 3D models & design with ease while handling a wide range of file formats commonly used in Architecture, Engineering & Construction industry. This is very much helpful in sharing design to different stake holders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While working on extremely large and intricate models, sometimes it slows down or lag impacting its ability to smoothly navigate & interact with the design. Those who are new to CAD will find learning a challenge impacting adoption of software to new users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Simple and intuitive tools for use. If you are looking for software to view 3D in any of its neutral formats, this could be a good option. Free Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Whenever you use these software, you are left wanting them to have more features. Logically, it is not as complete as design software. This one is for visualization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The user interface of the Bentley View is very intuitive and well-designed, allowing users like me to navigate easily through complex 3D models. It has tolls and options to view, zoom, pan, rotate and section any 3D CAD model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The drawback of using this software is that the user should know 3D visualization. Some features are also advanced for new users and might take time to master. With the Bentley View's extensive set of features, it will take much more RAM and might lead to occasional performance issues. However, these limitations are minor compared to the overall benefits of the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One thing that I like the most about Bentley View is its measurement capabilities; it allows users to measure distances, angles and volumes within the design files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's just a CAD viewer, similar to other CAD viewers, so it works pretty well as per its use case. Tools similar to this also provide slicing options and options to choose 3d printing parameters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its a good and perfect free tool for viewing cad files Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Need frequent updates and require a desent user interface Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Bentley View supports wide range of files used on construction, it can work with DGN, DWG, DXF, IFC, etc. It can also integrates with other Bentley applications, such as ProjectWise and MicroStation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The user interface can be a steep learning curve, especially for new users, or anybody not familiar with Bentley interface. Bentley View is designed as viewing and analysis tool, not much can be done for editting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
