10/17/25, 1:14 PM Bentley Systems Strengthens Cesium with Reality Modeling

Reality modeling uses technologies such as 3D scanning, photogrammetry, and lidar to capture
physical spaces accurately. When these models are integrated into Cesium’s geospatial platform,
engineers can overlay design plans onto real-world environments. This not only improves accuracy
but also reduces the risk of costly errors and miscalculations.

How Bentley Systems Enhances Cesium

The enhancements to Cesium go beyond simply adding visuals. Bentley Systems has focused on
functionality, performance, and user experience. Engineers can now manipulate complex 3D models,
simulate construction sequences, and analyze project impacts with ease.

This new capability makes Cesium more than a visualization tool—it becomes a central hub for project
intelligence. Teams can explore terrain, existing structures, and infrastructure in a single, unified
platform. The geospatial context ensures that all decisions are informed by the most accurate and up-
to-date data available.

Benefits for Project Planning and Execution

Integrating reality modeling into Cesium brings a multitude of benefits to infrastructure projects.
Planners can detect potential conflicts between new designs and existing conditions early, reducing
delays and unforeseen costs. Project teams can collaborate more effectively by sharing interactive 3D
models that everyone can understand, regardless of technical expertise.

Furthermore, reality modeling enhances predictive analysis. Engineers can simulate scenarios such
as flood risks, traffic flow, or construction impact on surrounding areas. This predictive capability helps
stakeholders make proactive decisions, safeguarding both project budgets and public safety.
