With MicroStation, you can easily view, model, document, and visualize projects of any size or complexity. Use MicroStation to deliver projects smarter. With proven MicroStation technology, you can confidently take on any design, construction, or operations project. No matter what design information you are working with or what kind of deliverables are required, you can rely on MicroStation's flexibility and power to get the job done on time and on budget.
The MicroStation family of products provides traditional CAD capabilities and the power and versatility to precisely view, model, document, and visualize information-rich 2D and 3D designs of all types and scales, working for professionals in every discipline on infrastructure projects of every type.
As project requirements get more complex and the time to complete projects gets shorter, it can be difficult to deliver your drawings and CAD models on time. Shrinking budgets, compressed delivery schedules, and ever-increasing project scales and complexity mean that you should expect more from your design software. Manual CAD workflows and flat productivity are jeopardizing your competitiveness and, potentially, your reputation. You shouldn’t have to work harder and longer to deliver great projects—your computer-aided design software should work harder for you.
Whether you need more productive 2D drawing software or better applications for 3D CAD design, speeding up drafting and modeling doesn’t have to be a massive undertaking. Instead, regain your competitive edge by gaining the flexibility and power of BIM workflows without abandoning your familiar 2D drafting and CAD design skills. Save time and money by eliminating tedious, repetitive drawing workflows and, instead, collaborate reliably with any project participant, regardless what CAD file formats or CAD applications they use.
What is MicroStation?
MicroStation is the world’s leading 3D computer-aided design and visualization software for the architecture, engineering, construction, and operation of all infrastructure types.
Who can use MicroStation?
Architects, engineers, design professionals, and draftsmen can use MicroStation. From individual professionals to multinational design firms, leading project teams rely on MicroStation to confidently deliver projects, no matter the scale and complexity.
What benefits does MicroStation offer?
MicroStation is a comprehensive solution. As 3D CAD software that is used by leading design firms, contractors, and owner-operators around the world, it provides a range of capabilities: CAD drawing and design, 3D modeling, visualization, component management and mark up, and collaboration across disciplines. Users can do everything that they need without flipping back and forth through many different applications. While you don’t need to use the cloud services available within MicroStation, you can use them if you want to advance your productivity and competitiveness.
Capabilities

Apply real-time display styles to visualize models based on each object’s height, slope, aspect angle, and other embedded properties. Visualize reality meshes based on associated spatial and attribute data.
- Work collaboratively on designs
View and work with design information from others in real time using live referencing of 2D and 3D DGN, DWG, and large image files, refreshed on demand. Create and exchange digital markups of designs. Track and easily understand changes made to design files, even at the component-level, throughout their lifecycle. Improve enterprise-wide collaboration through integration with ProjectWise.

Personalize and group tools and tasks and reduce keystrokes with customizable menus.
The latest generation of MicroStation-based platform products are called the Connect Edition, taking over from the previous generation V8i. Bentley has dabbled with Microsoft naming conventions (95) to straight versioning over the years, this represents a break from all previous branding.
MicroStation’s advanced parametric 3D modeling capabilities allow infrastructure professionals of any discipline to deliver data-driven, BIM-ready models. Your team can aggregate their work on MicroStation, including designs and models created with Bentley’s discipline specific BIM applications. As a result, you can create comprehensive, multi-discipline BIM models, documentation, and other deliverables. Since your project team will work in a universal modeling application, they can communicate easily to share intelligent deliverables and maintain the full integrity of your data.
MicroStation and all Bentley BIM applications are built on the same comprehensive modeling platform. You therefore can easily progress your MicroStation work into discipline specific workflows with Bentley’s design and analytical modeling BIM applications. With this flexibility, each member of your project team has exactly the right application for the work they need to do.
