Hi Everyone,
New to the community and Bentley software in general. Our Civil group has asked me a question, that I cannot answer and was hoping for some help.
"the engineer on a heavy highway project has provided us with his GEOPAK file on the project. First, can we view this as a 3D model, like we would with a Revit file from the Architect on a commercial project." "Second, can we extract the quantities for the different layers of materials the engineer used in the PDF drawings he provided us to cross check the take-off of material quantities our estimators did?"
We are mostly a commercial contractor and deal in Autodesk platforms for the most part. Autodesk is telling us the first one is possible with some work, but the second would be a lot more work if it were even possible in their software.
I guess I am looking for a way, hopefully a free viewer, to not only view the project in 3D but also look-at or extract the different material quantities in that model.
Thank you for assistance.
Chris
