## Reviews

### "Customer support still needs work" — 2.0/5

> **Dan** | *September 17, 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Being able to make a 3d model, then turn it into 2d fabrication drawings. makes communication through prints easy
> 
> **Cons**: CUSTOMER SUPPORT IS AWFUL. you wont get a response within the same day. They take forever. 99% of the time I have to start from scratch or try to figure it out on my own. If a drawing is about to be erased because of a change in the 3d model, there should be a prompt that asks you if you want to proceed...
> 
> Two stars. Way to much money for not enough assistance. They'll get back to you within 2-4 business days.

### "Reliable software for structural designs." — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *February 4, 2019* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like using this software especially when I have to design a certain building. And as well as making computation of loads that I will have to apply. It's easy to use and convenient in presenting for meetings  of what building or structure that  you and your team were planning to build.
> 
> **Cons**: Maybe the least thing of this software was you have to be knowledgeable first in using this 3D software. If your not familiar or it is your first time using it, you'll encounter a lot of trial and error. and supervision is advice when using it as well.
> 
> Overall experience while using this software were better than using our traditional method in designing a structure it reduces our work load and can easily edit the parts that have been misplace.

### "Tekla BIM Sight is a great visual review tool" — 5.0/5

> **Kenan** | *September 7, 2018* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Taking complex heavy models and allowing you to view on any lightweight machine with ease
> 
> **Cons**: Although the measuring tool is good, it would be great to be able to print a sectional view or have a section view with a limited far clip offset

### "License holders pay more than new subscribers...." — 4.0/5

> **Robert** | *October 28, 2021* | Design | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Powerful tool for bim and detailing.  Graphics are nice and help see conflicts pretty easily.
> 
> **Cons**: Holders of "permanent" licenses now have to pay more in maintenance than new subscribers.  That is terrible treatment of existing user base.&#10;New releases get tools/components/scroolbar changed and not for the better. &#10;Warehouse is a good idea, but too much is unusable or specialized.  Items we might be able to use (furniture for layouts) is non-existent.

### "shocking customer support" — 3.0/5

> **dan** | *February 5, 2020* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: very practical for steel detailing, speedy
> 
> **Cons**: shocking treatment of customers. total disregard for licensed users
> 
> generally satisfied with the software.&#10;customer support is pathetic.
