4.0 is a huge step forward for the industry.
Rajesh Boodoo, CEO, 3D Engineering & Support, Ltd.


I am beyond impressed. I was able to simply highlight all the pipe objects and easily convert to pipe families. Revit automatically recognized the pipe size which was incredible. So far it has exceeded my expectations.
Devon Kelley, BIM Specialist, PrecisionPoint, Inc.


EdgeWise Plant will change the way firms model pipes…what ClearEdge has done is truly remarkable.
Michael Raphael, CEO, Direct Dimensions, Inc.


EdgeWise is so easy to use, it’s hard to make a mistake.
Taylor R. Schulte, PLS, Project Manager, Bush, Roed & Hitchings, Inc.


The new layering capabilities will save us a ton of time when we bring the EdgeWise models into our CAD platform. 3.0 is a huge step forward in terms of capability and time savings—it’s now an essential part of our modeling workflow.
