What is MicroStation?

MicroStation by Bentley Systems is the world’s most reliable and versatile CAD software for infrastructure design, empowering engineers and architects to turn vision into reality. It supports every phase of design and documentation—from conceptual sketches to construction-ready drawings—with unmatched precision and scalability. Built on the powerful DGN file format, MicroStation ensures total interoperability, enabling seamless integration with DWG, point-cloud data, and geospatial information systems (GIS). Its geospatially enabled 2D and 3D modeling tools allow users to visualize projects within real-world context, ensuring accuracy and efficiency at every stage. Teams benefit from high-performance collaboration, reliable data management, and zero size limitations, making it ideal for both small-scale and large enterprise projects. MicroStation also includes built-in visualization capabilities, helping users create compelling renderings, simulations, and animations for client presentations. Industry-standard compliance ensures every document is ready for stamping and regulatory approval. With the Virtuoso Subscription, users gain access to licensing, training, and technical support—all bundled for simplicity and cost-effectiveness. Trusted by global organizations like the City of Portland and JMC2 in California, MicroStation has proven its value in accelerating project timelines and reducing costs. For professionals seeking precision, flexibility, and reliability in infrastructure design, MicroStation delivers the foundation for success.

What is Caddie?

Caddie is a versatile software solution designed for 2D drafting, 3D modeling, and construction applications. It merges precise drawings with Geographic Information System (GIS) data, integrating resources such as SG Diagrams, Satellite Images, ArcGIS content, and information from Open Streetmap. Users can generate 3D models, create photo-realistic renders, and produce working drawings in various projections. The program saves files in the widely recognized .DWG format and offers licensing options suitable for individuals, teams, or cloud-based access. Caddie is tailored for multiple disciplines, including Architecture (both 2D and 3D), Civil Engineering (with a focus on Digital Terrain Modeling), GIS, Landscape Architecture, Mechanical Engineering, photo-realistic rendering, Steelwork, Surveying, and Urban Planning. It is capable of outputting to a range of devices, from printers and plotters to 3D printers and other file formats. Additionally, Caddie supports a variety of image formats, including MrSID and ECW. Users can take advantage of a comprehensive 14-day free trial that allows full access to all features. This trial period provides an excellent opportunity to explore the extensive capabilities of the software before making a commitment.
