"OpenRoads Designer accelerates the development of BIM models."
What do you like best about OpenRoads Designer?

OpenRoads Designer provides an efficient solution for delevoping 3D models. Project elements are automatically created in a 3D world on the fly as you work. Giving you the ability to pull together all project elements (roadway, structures, drainage networks, and utilities) into one location. These detailed 3D models of a project allow for users of all levels of experience to visually review a project for issues and omissions. Civil cells allow for duplication of reduntant design elements, such as entrances and pedestrian ramps. Item Types can be used to add addition meta data , including bid item descriptions, specification notes, ect to elements in the model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenRoads Designer?

OpenRoads Designer software version are not compatable with each other. Requiring updated resources for each major upgrade. This also creates the need to upgrade long term projects or requires running multiple version of OpenRoads at the same time. Plans production capabilities are still a struggle, but developement of needed resources and capabilities is continually improving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Openroads - One of the finest Highways Modelling Software"
What do you like best about OpenRoads Designer?

The interactive work process, style sets, and Modelling features make the openroads a great Highways design software in the market. Moreover, it has one of the greatest interfaces for handling the point cloud data. You can create very complex models with the help of openroads interfaces very easily. Its interface and BIM Based design tools are the best as compared to other software in the industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenRoads Designer?

The area of improvement would be

- Process to update the seed file configurations once the design is already carried out either by referencing the properties of the desired seed files. as of now, we need to redesign the model.

- In surface creation, on the link is broken, there should be an option to redevelop the link. So, surface is dynamic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best software for large roadway projects"
What do you like best about OpenRoads Designer?

Faster and more stable modeling than SS10. Training guides and online resources are readily available. Client understands the software and works with the consultants to output uniform designs and plan sets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenRoads Designer?

As a user we are tied down to a client's workspace. Sometimes bugs come from the customization of the workspace and there is usually a lag behind when Bentley releases a workspace update and when we recieve the latest build from our client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
