Access 3D building-modeling and BIM workflows in the same, familiar BricsCAD environment without the disruption of learning a new system.
A flexible platform for 2D, 3D designs, and BIM. BricsCAD BIM is built on the familiar BricsCAD system, so you can leverage the 2D drafting tools as you ease into 3D workflows at your own pace. Enjoy the flexibility to create simple 3D designs, import or produce BIM for collaborations, or model with accuracy for construction and fabrication.
AI-driven In BricsCAD BIM, design decisions come first, and machine learning algorithms automate the laborious tasks of manipulating BIM data, documentation, and levels of detail. | 2D & 3D You can find a flexible, direct building-modeling tool and a professional CAD product in the same DWG platform. Design geometry can directly be converted to BIM elements. |
CAD software A safe path to BIM for CAD users without the disruption of learning a traditional BIM system. Spending less on software and training while avoiding performance dips during transition lowers the barriers to entry. | For BIM BricsCAD BIM leverages the power of solid CAD modeling that supports flexible design, BIM, and the accuracy needed by engineers and manufacturers, opening the possibility of linking BIM with fabrication workflows in the BricsCAD Ultimate package. |
Quick floor plansBIMQUICKDRAW takes sketching into the 3D realm. You can create and modify 3D room layouts as easily as sketching out a 2D floor plan. Creating and editing rectangular and L-shaped rooms and buildings has never been so fast. | Create a BIM from a solid massing modelBIMQUICKBUILDING supports iterative and generative design workflows, quickly transforming a solid massing model into a conceptual BIM model with slabs, walls, and spaces -- helping the designer to explore many design options in an early design phase. | Bi-directional link with GrasshopperBricsCAD BIM modeler and Rhinoceros/Grasshopper have a live, two-way link to bridge the gap between early-stage generative design and BIM by translating geometric entities into BIM elements. |
Create Spaces and ZonesYou have unlimited freedom to create Spaces and Zones, using a free-form direct modeling approach. Spaces can be simple or complex 3D volumes, or 2D abstractions. These methods deliver the freedom to specify building areas with full freedom. | Top View ModeBricsCAD BIM gives you the ultimate flexibility of modeling your designs with direct modeling or the Top View Mode, which gives you the familiar experience of modeling in a plan view. Creating simple wall layouts with doors and windows has just become a lot more efficient in BricsCAD BIM. | Modeling freedomExperience the freedom to model with a 3D workflow unrestricted by pre-defined parts or library components. Use intuitive push-pull direct modeling to sculpt your mass-model concept. Your model remains light and responsive because it not overloaded or over-constrained. |
Leverage the power of AI tools to automatically convert your concept study models to fully classified BIM models (LOD 200). Then, increase the LOD of your BIM continuously using the power of BricsCAD BIM's AI-powered workflows.
Auto-classify building elementsBIMIFY examines the geometry of each solid in the model and detects and assigns IFC entity classifications automatically. This automated classifier can save hours of work in the creation of a BIM. | Auto-complete BIM dataBIMAUTOMATCH will automatically match and complete BIM information across multiple entities, such as missing compositions, properties, and more. Add compositions to a wall and BIMAUTOMATCH will suggest adding that composition to every matching wall in the entire BIM. | Propagate 3D detailsDrive a consistent level of detail (LOD) across your entire BIM automatically. Adjust a composition ply at a ceiling/wall juncture and replicate the change across the BIM, wherever you need it. You always have full control over the suggestions BIMPROPAGATE makes. |
Create clear and accurate construction documentation in record time using the automatic generation of sections, elevations, drawing views, and sheet layouts. You can always customize them using the world's best drafting and annotation tools. Change your BIM and all associated drawing views will be regenerated automatically to stay in total synch with the model.
Increase your model's LOD by adding information and duplicating it at any or all matching instances across your BIM automatically. With high accuracy and consistent Level of Detail across the entire BIM, exact quantity take-offs and bills of materials can be extracted, displayed, and exported.
The accuracy of BricsCAD BIM offers new horizons for engineers and manufacturers of building products. Custom components can be designed and shared as assemblies for use within the BIM or on the shop floor for fabrication.
Manufacturers of building components can create production-ready assemblies in BricsCAD® Mechanical, then share their designs as libraries of components for use with BricsCAD BIM.
Scan existing conditions to verify the accuracy of old survey drawings and start your renovation projects from an accurate, as-build model. Point clouds can help you check progress and quality during construction and make a permanent record of the completed building for future renovations.
Open BIM & interoperability
BricsCAD BIM supports global, open standards to ensure interoperability and enable smooth collaboration with everyone on the extended design or build team.
