Best for: Building Information Modeling
Works in DWG with AI-assisted BIM tools
Conceptual to construction-ready BIM in one workflow
🏗️ 1. Familiar DWG-Based Workflow
-
All BIM data is saved in standard
.dwg
format. -
No need to learn a new platform – familiar CAD interface for AutoCAD® users.
-
Compatible with other BricsCAD modules like Pro and Mechanical.
⚙️ 2. AI-Powered Design Automation
-
Automatically classify BIM elements (walls, slabs, doors, etc.) using AI-based tools.
-
Quick mass-to-BIM conversion: turn 3D volumes into BIM components in one click.
-
Speeds up early design and schematic modeling.
🧱 3. Flexible Modeling – No Restrictions
-
Direct modeling + parametric tools in a single environment.
-
Start your design as a sketch or concept mass, then convert to BIM elements.
-
Not locked into a rigid workflow like traditional BIM tools.
📦 4. IFC & BCF Support – OpenBIM Compliant
-
Full support for IFC 2x3 & IFC4 – ensures interoperability with Revit, ArchiCAD, Tekla, etc.
-
Use BCF (BIM Collaboration Format) for streamlined project communication.
🧮 5. Quantities, Schedules & Documentation
-
Auto-generate quantity takeoffs, area reports, and material schedules.
-
Extract rich BIM data directly from your model.
🏢 6. Multi-Disciplinary Modeling
-
Model architecture, structure, and MEP in one unified environment.
-
Great for firms that want to avoid jumping between multiple software platforms.
💰 7. Cost-Effective Licensing
-
Much lower cost than Autodesk Revit or ArchiCAD.
-
Perpetual license option available – no forced subscription.
🖼️ 8. Visual Styles & Presentation
-
Impressive real-time rendering and visual styles for design presentation.
-
Easy walkthrough creation with high visual clarity.
🔄 9. Dynamic Section Views & Drawing Tools
-
Generate live, linked section views, floor plans, and elevations.
-
Changes in the model update the drawings automatically.
🚀 10. BricsCAD BIM + BricsCAD Pro = Full Design Power
-
Combine advanced drafting, 3D modeling, and BIM workflows in one platform.
-
Ideal for architects, contractors, and design-build firms.
