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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Really easy to use, nice library of 3d objects. The photo compositing works well. #### Cons 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. #### Vendor response Thanks for the great review, Tom! I'm glad to hear you're finding value with Beyond Typicals' photo compositing feature and overall ease of use. I'd love to chat about your thoughts on the centerline modifications - feel free to reach out to schedule a 1-on-1 meeting with me at brian@beyondcad.com!

I've been excited to work in the software and to grow and learn. I keep thinking about the many ways I could see this being beneficial to my job, my company and industry. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The pros include the ability to learn from the many examples, the YouTube support, and the support team. The software is always surprising me with the levels of detail and I see more potential for how it can be used to help my company and clients. #### Cons There are a lot of decisions to make and options to click, but in the end, it is art but the time to build and render is amazingly fast compared to tools of the past. I'll never look back on past attempts with other software, Beyond Typicals is here to stay. #### Vendor response Brandon, thank you for the amazing review! I'm happy to hear our training/support is valuable to finding success with Beyond Typicals. Reach out any time! Replied June 2024 --- ### Review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Joanne C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Civil Engineering - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: May 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall, I really like the software but, it's very glitchy at times and even a restart doesn't work. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros It provides good visualization for public engagement. It's pretty straight forward. #### Cons It gets a little glitchy at times. For example, I was just using it today and it would not let me physically select the sections so I had to use arrows to select the typical section. Additionally, the label text do not update immediately and sometimes exits out the left popup window with all the formating. #### Vendor response We appreciate your valuable feedback Joanne! Feel free to reach out directly to me to schedule a quick 1-on-1 call - I can offer some tips on the selection and label text update issues, and we'll look to improve both of these things in future updates! Replied May 2023 --- ### Great experience using BT so far. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Ellen G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Transportation/ Trucking/ Railroad - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: June 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Beyond Typicals has been a very useful tool for our company and a great addition to our deliverables. #### Cons 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. #### Vendor response Thanks for your review Ellen! We're currently working on a cloud-based version of Beyond Typicals that can be accessed through a web browser, which might be a helpful option to avoid computer battery/performance issues. Replied June 2023 --- ### Quick visualisations for presentations - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Kevin S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Civil Engineering - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: September 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I am still learning but i can quickly make renders for our clients eventhough I have not yet fully grasped beyond typicals possibilities/functionnalities. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros 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. #### Cons 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. #### Reasons for choosing Beyond Typicals 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 #### Vendor response Thank you for the review Kevin! I'm glad to hear you're happy with Beyond Typicals and are finding value using it for your clients. I appreciate the feedback on labeling, language selections, and the conversion to metric on cut & fill slopes. We'll definitely take these into consideration for future updates! Replied September 2023 --- ### Beyond Typicals is an efficient means to create beautiful, informative, detailed visuals - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Zach H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Civil Engineering - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: July 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. 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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros 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. #### Cons 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 #### Reasons for choosing Beyond Typicals Visual quality and 3D nature #### Vendor response Thanks for the positive feedback Zach! We're happy to hear you're finding success with Beyond Typicals visualizations of your projects. Intersections/junctions remain a limitation of Beyond Typicals, but we hope to provide a similar tool to accommodate these in the future. Stay tuned! Replied July 2023 --- ### Beyond Typicals Review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Matthew V. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Civil Engineering - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. 10/10. This product is efficient and robust. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I like the speed at which I can create a high-quality visualization for a proposed roadway section. #### Cons 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. #### Vendor response Thanks for the outstanding review, Matthew! I'm happy to hear you're finding 3D visualizations with Beyond Typicals are both fast and high quality. We'll consider some UI upgrades once we start working on Version 3 later this year. Replied August 2023 --- ### Simple, intuitive, design solutions - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Connor C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Civil Engineering - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: May 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. The overall experience has been great, and customer service/troubleshooting with [sensitive content hidden] has been top notch. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros 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! #### Cons 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. #### Vendor response Thanks so much for your review Connor! The high computer demand is a known issue, and we're working on creating a cloud-based version of Beyond Typicals to help mitigate that issue for users in the future. Replied May 2023 --- ### Beyond Thrilled with Beyond Typicals - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Todd R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Civil Engineering - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Replied May 2023 --- ### Mike's Review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Mike A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Transportation/ Trucking/ Railroad - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: October 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. This has made it super easy to create interesting visuals for changes or concepts to roadways that is easy engineers, planners, and the public alike to understand. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I like the quality of the graphics and how easy it is once you get the hang of it. #### Cons Sometimes the items I want to use are hidden as options I need to add and/or make. Once or twice the program has crashed on me. I wish the Total Width function could subtract areas outside the road bed, such as buildings I place on the side. #### Reasons for choosing Beyond Typicals StreetMix is too simplistic and not well regarded for professional level work. InDesign takes too long to build everything. #### Vendor response Thanks so much for the great review, Mike! I glad to hear you're getting the hang of Beyond Typicals. Don't hesitate to reach out if you're interested in a 1-on-1 video call to talk through any issues you're having with the tool!
