First Impressions
It works well and there is a pretty easy learning curve
- The ease of use and drag and drop design
Lack of ability (or known ability) to edit depth of certain elements (cut/fill slopes for instance)

First Impressions Beyond Typicals
It's been really good. Beyond Typicals hits the sweet spot between 2d illustration software and 3d visualization software. You can't do everything, but that's a strength because it keeps the software easy to use and learn.
- Really easy to use, nice library of 3d objects
- The photo compositing works well
- I'd like more font choices for the labels
- It would be nice if I could have the section hold at the centerline as lanes etc
- are added
- If I'm not adding equally to both sides I need to keep adjusting the alignment offset - for example to hold an existing curb
- It's pricy, if you buy it , use it a lot

Great experience using BT so far.
Verified reviewer
Beyond Typicals has been a very useful tool for our company and a great addition to our deliverables
- Unfortunately the software does use a lot of my computer life/battery, even though I use a powerful machine
- With the latest version I've been experience some crashes while performing some commands
- That's the only down side

Quick visualisations for presentations
I am still learning but i can quickly make renders for our clients eventhough I have not yet fully grasped beyond typicals possibilities/functionnalities.
- Produce high quality renders in a short amount of time
- Beyond typical helps to sell ideas of design to our clients because it really helps them to understand the final design
- Labeling is somewhat not as intuitive as it could be
- A language selection would be awesome (french)
- It would be great if the cut and fill would change name according to your unit choice (metric vs imperial) since the name of the cut represents a value in feets
Why they chose it
"In fact I use Beyond typicals for helping clients decide between design options. I use infraworks for final project rendering because it is longer to do compared to beyond typicals"

Beyond Typicals is an efficient means to create beautiful, informative, detailed visuals
We have used beyond typicals in several open house settings during planning or preliminary design phases of roadway transportation projects where we are comparing several cross sections. It's great that we can compare impacts, different components all from the same realistic view.
- 3D Views, the vast library of components and items
- The ease to place items
- We appreciate all ongoing developments that have improved the product month-to-month
- The development calendar looks great to see what all is intended for the future
- I've been asked a couple times if we could show an intersection or roundabout in Beyond Typicals
- My response is no, and it makes sense because that wouldn't really be a "typical section", more a full visual
- But thought I'd provide that feedback in case there is that possibility to incorporate
Why they chose it
"Visual quality and 3D nature"

Beyond Typicals Review
10/10. This product is efficient and robust.
I like the speed at which I can create a high-quality visualization for a proposed roadway section
I sometimes wish that I could dock tool bars to the bottom or top of the screen so that they don't disappear if I accidentally click off of them

Simple, intuitive, design solutions
The overall experience has been great, and customer service/troubleshooting with [sensitive content hidden] has been top notch.
The ease of creating a typical section in a few minutes is amazing, and being able to tap into [sensitive content hidden] knowledge and excellent customer service has been great
- I find that using the software really slows down my computer, even after getting a new, higher powered computer with the proper specs
- There are also a few things that are difficult (or impossible) to do with Beyond Typicals that would be really helpful - such as drawing a bridge over a roadway, or generating an interseciton
