OpenBuildings Speedikon is Bentley BIM design and documentation for German and European building projects, with DIN and VOB-oriented datasets, LOD-based modeling, and English and German releases; it is included with OpenBuildings Designer and uses a separate quick install.

Licensing is bundled, not standalone. Bentley states OpenBuildings Speedikon is included with OpenBuildings Designer and is not available for individual purchase; you add it through a separate quick install after licensing Designer. Designer lists a US$3,844.00 starting price for a 12-month Virtuoso subscription on bentley.com.
